its 2:12am here and i was wanting to take some more adderall ir. i took 55mg yesterday around 2:30pm. will taking some more do some serious damage to my nuerotransmitters? like permanently change anything that could change my personality and anything else that lack of dopamine changes? or will i just have a bad comedown and be back to normal?
 
I sincerely doubt permanent damage. I have taken much more than that many times. As with all substances, moderation will will help in keeping tolerance and risk of permanent damage to a minimum.

However, with amphetamines, tolerance for many people goes up very quickly. And, it sounds as though 55 mg is a high dose for you. Because of that, taking more now might not have the desired effect because you have not given your brain enough time to return closer to "normal".

Now for the comedown part of your question, have you not already come down from the initial dose yesterday? Also, how much are you planning on taking now?

ive been taking amphetamines for about 7 months now but its always been in moderation like wait a week or 4 days and such. im coming down but my comedowns last pretty much all the next day until i fall asleep. it hasnt been bad though im just bored and know im not getting any sleep so i was going to take some to pass the time. lol i know stupid and i was thinking like 40 more mgs


and thanks phat i just always worry about these things when im coming down
 
No you'll be fine. Its pretty normal for an amphetamine user to redose after being up 12 hours. I recommend going to bed at around 2AM tonight though to keep the sleep deprivation at a minimum. You won't even start hallucinating until the 48 hour mark at least but the body needs its sleep so theres no point depriving it of sleep when you don't have to.
 
Sleep is your friend. It's lack of sleep, proper nutrition etc. that causes many of the problems associated with amphetamine use.

That said, moderation is always advised. As long as you're not doing this on a daily basis I wouldn't worry too much.
 
ok great. yeah i rarely even think about doing this. but ive gone a little overboard a couple times and just wanted to make sure that its not going to alter my brain chemistry permanently. after i use i take about a week break to use again usually doing doses 40-50mgs. its just when i comedown that i think deeply about what im doing to my brain and if i redosed what would that do, ect.

thanks for all the answers and reassurance :)
 
Physicly there could be a number of things made worse ie chances of stroke heart attack high blood pressure to name a few.also mentally there could be potential for increased anxiety paranoia and depression on comedown be carefull please!!
 
I'm all for being careful, but the OP isn't exactly fiending on the stuff night and day. Besides, read the posts and you'll see that the comedown anxiety you rightly mention is what inspired the thread in the first place.

You'll give yourself a stroke if you worry that much, Wolverhamptonian. ;)
 
So you are saying you usually end up staying up the entire night and next day even without re-dosing? I would also agree with above statement that sleep deprivation is one of the worst issues with amphetamine use. If you're gonna be up until the following night anyways, re-dosing to be more awake during theday doesn't seem like such a terrible thing. But it's also very easy to get into the habit of re-dosing once the comedown comes so that can become problematic.
 
Like many others have said, what goes up, must come down. I doubt any "serious harm" will come from redosing, but your comedown will be a lot worse if you just keep taking more.

Sleep is indeed your friend. :)
