somethings going on that gets me kinda pissed, it seems like i have about an average tolerance to amphetamines already and i only did it twice, the first time i did it i took all the pills plain, the pills are clones of adderal XR, and i took three of them over a six hour period the pills where 20mg each so that totals to 60mg and i spent the whole night awake because i didnt know to break them. the otherday was my second time and i took 140mg over a 15 hour period give or take, this time i crushed the pill so it was more intense and wasnt as long lasting, well let me say that yesterday was a blast, although at one point i almost had a panic attack. but i dont know if you guys saw my post but this guy said 140mg is actually kinda big, i mean i know you build a tolerance but is it that fast or am i just unlucky, it wasnt an OD and my heart rate was in great shape going pretty slow. im a little guy to im only 112 and 20yrs old. so how can i slow the tolerance? im done with taking large doses for now because it can be damaging but how long should i space doses? should i not go over a certain dose daily or take a break? idk i mean if it gets bad ill just give it a break anyway, probably should anyway to give my organs a rest and stuff, also the pills are "expired" according to the bottle, my brother whos a pharmacist told me they"ll mantain freshness for awhile. also before i ever used adderal i OD'd on ritalin but puked a little more than half the dose up, ritalin and amphetamines have a slight cross tolerance. also every time ive done speed my heart beats slightely faster for all of the next day then returns to normal, that happen to any of you? and i guess im also wondering if anyones the same with drugs and alchohol? most drugs i can take massive doses and my friends get pissed, when i was 15 i decided two steal vodka from my dad it took 5 or 6 shots to get drunk or about an hour, even with dxm i take enough for a 130lbs man to medium third plateau and i only get high second, vicodin just does nothing but thats common. ok i hope nobody getting sick of me, i promise ill contribute but i gotta make sure i actually know what im talking about. i wrote this on a cell sry if theres typos
 
sry thats way too long, ill post plain question does anybody else seem to be naturally tolerant to alot of drugs or build up tolerances rlly fast? does anyone else experience a slight raise in heart rate during comedown?, how can i sloe tollerance? this isnt urgent but if you can answer these please do, especially the one about the heart rate because as far as i know it only happens to me. also at what point does amphetamine actually become deadly, like the dose above im sure isnt good for you but it doesnt feel that bad, would doses of 40-60mg a day be that bad? i know kids with add who take that much, at that levels it just boost confidence and socialness too.

Since these are pretty basic questions, we can try it out in Basic Drug Discussion. In the future, instead of bumping your own thread to clarify, please just edit it. You may want to edit the OP anyway because when people see walls of text they tend to just move on. Keep in mind approximately 97% of people who read BL are not sober so concision and paragraphs to break up text walls are your friend.

^What this guy said. It's much harder to read a huge wall of text than it is to read paragraphs.

These are extremely high doses for somebody who is just starting to use amphetamines. Are you prescribed Adderall or do you just take it? Do you have ADD/ADHD?

The first time I took Adderall I only took 20mg or so and it was more than enough. 60mg is pretty high for the first time (if I read your post correctly).

should i not go over a certain dose daily or take a break? idk i mean if it gets bad ill just give it a break anyway, probably should anyway to give my organs a rest and stuff, also the pills are "expired" according to the bottle, my brother whos a pharmacist told me they"ll mantain freshness for awhile. also before i ever used adderal i OD'd on ritalin but puked a little more than half the dose up,

Your brother is correct. As long as the pills have been stored correctly they will maintain their potency for a considerable amount of time (years) after their listed expiration date. I would discount them being expired as the cause of your adverse reaction.

I recommend taking a break. Amphetamine tolerance grows rapidly, and because you've taken very high doses, it's most likely already started to appear. Take a break from stimulants to get your tolerance back down.

There is no need to take such high dosages of Adderall (or generic mixed amphetamine salts, they are the same thing). Start low next time you take it, like in the 20mg or so range. If you had a panic attack-like reaction, that means you took too much.

Hope this helps. :)
 
thanks, both of you, next time ill make sure not to double post i'm sorry about that haha i need to work on writting shorter questions. yea man i think i better take a break, i dont think one high dose like that will hurt me but i wouldnt make a habit of it even if my tolerace was that strong. I totaly underestimated the drug, im going to try to finish of the last of my stuff, only 60mg but i think i might do only 40mg, i read up on it and i came across a website that said adderall can really harm your kidneys in doses that high because the high blood pressure causes veins in the kidney to pop, actually i was pretty far off from a dose that bad but still. the drug is under estimated for its addictive power, i mean its not like crack but its pretty damn powerfull. right now im high off of 20mg snorted 10mg bombed so im pretty close to the recreational dose, most adults and some kids take about 2 30mgs right? when i start up again im just gunna go with the safer doses, there safer and honestly the higher doses are almost the same. thanks again bro.
 
most adults and some kids take about 2 30mgs right?

People take very different dosages. I personally know people who take 60mg a day (prescribed) and people who take 10mg a day (also prescribed). Anywhere in between these dosages. However, these people have been prescribed Adderall by a doctor and, in the case of the people taking 60mg, have worked their way up to that dosage over a long period of time (in some cases, years) and under the direction/supervision of a doctor.

Just because somebody else takes a dose of a drug doesn't mean its safe for you to take that dose. Everybody is different. Always best to start low.

Let us know if you have any other questions. :)

yea man i know what you and this post punched some common sense in me, i reorganized all the bombs i made so its about 5mgs in each, tiny little guys but better safe. As for me being different i understand that but the adhd pills Ive been taking are actually mine, back then i was using them for intended purposes 40mg a day and the dr. was thinking about moving me up, but this was long ago and i stoped buying them because i was in a pinch with money. im always very cautious about my heart and i know a good deal about the liver, ill could probably figure out if something was wrong, at this point ill take them for fun but trust me i know i have a strong tolerance with this stuff, the only thing is that once you take more you cant take it out. im feeling good niw though so dont worry about. im going to go check my blood pressure because i dont want renal failure so bye. Hey i actually do have a question about snorting though, snorting unhealthy and i know that but on occasion it feels great doing it, other than damage to the nose how harmfull is snorting compared to bombing because i feel as though i get a more exact amount snorting. Thanks again, Ive actually never talked to people as nice as you guys on forums, if things get out of hand Ill call a paramedic but i dont see that happening. even when i took that huge dose i didnt have any overdose symptoms or heart attack symptoms, the thing i did with concerta was dumb though and i feel lucky about that, sry im rambling g2g EDIT- blood presure high but thats to be expected, im at 146/99 which isnt good but somewhat was what i was expecting, iv had it that high from drinking to many redbulls but im note gunna redose until its stabalizes at a safer level, ill try to update when i can.

EDIT- never mind don't trust that reading, the cuff is too small for me, told ya im a little guy haha, Im probably just gunna relax for the time being and not take anymore, after yesterday i should rest.

^Sounds like it.

Since you're prescribed the Adderall pills, I would recommend discussing this with your doctor the next time you see him/her.

In regards to having high blood pressure, that is expected with amphetamines but is still something that should be monitored. If you're concerned about that effect from your Adderall, speak with your doctor.

Good luck!

My BP went back down to a healthy level in no time, and they adderall was an old prescription, taken off them when i started college because my parents refused to pay for anything anymore :| (although with some respect for them they are still paying for me to finish my education :D), but thats a different story. my doctor knows that i have a history of abusing pills and stuff so she will do EKG's if i ask her or if she suspects me of it. Ill get checked out and stuff but i think i just made a big deal of nothing, sure it sounds bad but the whole time i was pretty much relaxing and not really exerting myself much and i would re-dose when effects would ware down. It didn't do any of my insides any favors but if i give everything a rest they can probably pull themselves together and im not feeling any kidney pains so if i did any damage to them it was probably minimal. Thanks for all your help and im almost certain im going to be ok, it was a one time thing and if i can keep the will power to refrain i can pull through. still young and strong so im going to try quitting everything xcept weed, lol never gonna leave weed.


















:|<------LOL just edited this bcus i saw him, how the hell did he get here?
 
when i first ever done amphetamines ,(Adderall, Dexedrine, Ritalin) i took 10mg of adderall and was very very euphoric for 12 hours and more, i was prescribed it too, and easily became hooked, turned into a speed freak, CPU Geek, explored online that dexedrine is purer in form to get out of my doctor and minus L-amphetamine, it wrecked the hell out of me these meds! that was 11 years ago, and i still am on adderall, 20mg xr. after a 7 year break my tolerance went to normal, however there is some magic effects ill NEVER get back
 
^opiatekrzy, your experiences with amphetamines seem similar to a lot of other ones I've heard about, including mine.

Amphetamines are a lot like opiates in that sense, the high will never be like the first few times you did it.
 
^Yup, im a former heroin addict with 7 years clean, and throughout them 7 years, i did actally relapse on a few occasions, and i can NEVER achieve the "nod" or the dreaming while awake sensation, throwing up from being too high, i lost my magic to opiates also, i just stick with suboxone to clear cravings and opiate blockage and its mild euphoric qualities, i however like methadone, but still i cant nod like i used to, or what you hear people rave about

1mg of xanax used to get me VERY loopy for 6-8 hours, my tolerance to benzos jumped so high that 10-20mg of xanax provides "relief"

to sum it up, over time, for everyone, you just wont experience the euphoria you used to get

the only drug i still get that "magic" from is Crack/Cocaine, its like a cigarette to me, the first cigarette in the morning is great, you get that little bzzy feeling, and feel content, after that, u just smoke to smoke cuz u feel like u need another one. with crack, that first blast of the day is PHENOMINAL, the 3rd blast and more that day is all a chase and nothing really happens. i still get the same magic with crack, only the first 2 hits of the day. after that its a chase and id have to wait till the next day to get that rush/ear ringer

drugs suck i general
!!
 
My first amphetamine experience I took 45mg of Dexedrine and got VERY high. I got caught by my parents so I didn't get to keep taking more and they locked my medicine up. So maybe 4-5 months later I found a hook-up who sold sustained release and instant release. I actually always bought the XR because they were 15mg, not just 5mg and I liked how they lasted a long time. So what I'm trying to say is that I gave myself a 4 month break before my second time using. This is ideal but I don't have this sort of self-control, I only waited this long because my parents took it away from me. Fast forward nearly a decade later and I'm still taking them, for every day straight. I take 60mg of Adderall now. This is the maximum daily dose allowed to be prescribed, even though some people are prescribed higher doses.

Raise in heart rate is not uncommon with amphetamines. In fact its very common. Mine doesn't increase every time I take them, just on certain occasions and usually its when I've taken very high doses. When I say "high dose" I'm referring to taking like 300mg+ in a 24 hour period or a single dose of 150mg or higher.

Amphetamines have pretty much lost their magic for me and it usually does for people who have been taking them daily for a long time. So try to stay away from doing them so often. Give yourself a couple weeks or more before redosing. And speaking of redosing, you know to take your largest dose first correct? You won't get higher than your first dose no matter how much more you take later. You could take twice the dose and your original dose will still be the most effective. Repeated doses aren't nearly as efficient.

And for tolerance, some people just have natural tolerances and that must really suck. Especially if you need to take 140mg your second time to get high. A first timer would usually get really fucked up from a dose of 40mg and would be able to keep taking doses around that for awhile.
 
Note:mini-thread hijack.(figured the vets would appreciate it if I didn't make a sep thread for 1 question)

1. I was recently told that amphetamines are unlike other drugs in the fact that you will develop a semi-perma-tolerence.. While other drugs you can take breaks and let tolerance diminish to zero, you can't do that with amphetamines because the tolerance never fully goes away.. Or something similar to that. I was just curious as to if this was true. Is there any scientific research to back this, or just user feedback?
2.
^
Amphetamines are a lot like opiates in that sense, the high will never be like the first few times you did it.
Is this because the user over-does it and becomes addicted or is this fact no matter what? i.e. someone that does meth every day for 3 months and someone who does it once a week, will neither of them be able to achieve that full high again or just the addict?
3. I decided to make rules for myself in regards to stims after my recent first experience with them. Adderall 50mg was the dose. I had planned on limiting myself at least a week before dosing again, and never redosing. Can I expect to develop a tolerance? If so, what is an adequate break time to ensure I never become dependent?

Thanks for your time and sorry if this isn't the most appropriate place to post.
