Curious. I have add but I'm wondering what others feel when they take the same dose. Someone told me people with add need less than someone without
 
It really depends on the person. For some people, taking amphetamines calms them down because they allow for the person to focus. Other times its the opposite effect.

I recommend checking out this thread, it covers the topic somewhat. I use amphetamines recreationally and my girlfriend uses them for ADHD and we both use the same dosage, sometimes I use less but we get the same effects.

It is really quite variable from person to person and situation to situation, however. Hard to give you an exact answer :/
 
I could be wrong but stimulants can sometimes be less recreational to people with ADHD. Especially the chemically similar "methyl" ones like Ritalin, Focalin, Concerta. This is because the stims can calm the ADHD person down. Don't be mistaken though bump that therapeutic dose up a little bit the and ADHD person will be flying.
 
In therapeutic doses amp salts can make me tired, or focused. up the dose, i'll fly high.
 
In a nutshell, yes.

Think about this with other meds - like antidepressants. One WITH depression (for example) will take an SSRI and experience nothing more than the regular side effects such as trouble sleeping or vivid dreaming, night sweats, etc. However, one without depression may experience a shit ton of effects because his/her body is more chemically balanced and when the drug is ingested, a different response is triggered. The SSRI is not NEEDED, and is therefore not accepted and utilized in the same manner as with the person WITH depression and a chemical imbalance (if one is had).

*People WITH add/adhd (and a chem imbalance, pos) experience a different reaction when the drug, a stimulant, is ingested. The body doesn't speed up and go crazy but rather - slows down and things become more clear. If the opposite were true, they would not be prescribed for such a purpose. When a person withOUT add/adhd takes a stimulant (the same stimulant) they have a different chemical/genetic make up and have a response that DOES include that 'speediness'.

There are many of variables that make this answer vary. This is a generalization and certainly doesn't ALWAYS apply.

i got adhd and when i take shit like addys or ritalin it just makes me focus and not wanna talk to nobody . but if i was to smoke meth or snort it id be wired
 
compared to meth, adderall was a cakewalk. it helped my ADHD for sure, but in terms of... everything else, adderall is much weaker than meth.
