Hi everyone,

I was wondering if you feel that dexamphetamine has any recreational value, and what a good dose would be for someone with a moderate tolerance?

Thanks!
 
Yes it does have recreational value. Dosage rec's are tough especially when tolerance is involved. start with 20mgs (if you got a healthy heart and all) and maybe add 10 every 45 minutes as neccessary.

I know not dosing all at once isnt your ideal experience most likely....but until you are familiar with the drug and how your body responds.

Dexamphetamine is a step above adderrall as adderrall is a mix of the D (Dex I believe) and L amphetamine isomers and the L aint shit compared to the D (recreationally, that is reductionist I am sure)
 
For myself, I don't really like it much. It easily becomes too jittery without any euphoria. Taking more has always made it worse for me ( bad memories of that!) All the same, if I have some boring physical chore to get done, it's a decent way to steamroll through. But to feel good, I prefer ritalin

Isn’t this a relatively low dose? I read on TripSit that 80–125+ mg of Adderall is considered a high dose. If you were to convert that mathematically to the active ingredient, dextroamphetamine, would that be equivalent to around 60–93.75 mg of dexamphetamine, if I’m understanding it correctly?


I want to make sure I get the dosage right so I don’t end up having a bad experience. I also have plenty of experience with it.
 
“The Amphetamines are particularly notorious for their ability to enduce a state of pleasurable effects, elation and euphoria, and are therefore highly abused substances “ medical journal excerpt

Desoxyn (Methamphetamine) and Vyvanse (Lisdexamfetamine) are also effective treatments for narcolepsy. Methamphetamine is potent and long acting but has the greatest abuse potential

d-Methamphetamine >d-Amphetamine>MPH - Ritalin> Modafinil

Dextro-Amphetamine (Dexedrine) is also used recreationally as a euphoriant and aphrodisiac, and like other amphetamines is used as a club drug for its energetic and euphoric high”

Ritalin (Methylphenidate) 50-70mg IR + Methadone 100mg has been my morning Speedball for 20+ years (plus benzodiazepine, Gabapentinoid, Ethanol, Nicotine) …..Ritalin gave me VERY robust euphoric bliss when I started taking it…..same euphoric bliss as Opoioids (especially Oxycodone)

Oxycodone or Diamorphine/Dilaudid mixed with Dexedrine/Adderall/Ritalin/Desoxyn is the most euphoric combination pharmacology has even seen……endorphines & monoamines DAT/NET/SERT = Euphoric bliss

People have always loved their Amphetamines…..Ritalin is my personal favourite

Benzedrine, Dexedrine, Methedrine
Phenmetrazine
Methylphenidate
Cocaine
Benzphetamine (pro-drug, metabolizes into d-Meth, then into d-Amph)
Pemoline


Benzphetamine (Didrex) is still prescribed for obesity & narcolepsy……it’s essentially Desoxyn (Methylphenidate) but with a lower scheduling SCIII ……Didrex in-vivo metabolizes into d-Methamphetamine and further into d-Amphetamine. Some doctors might hear Didrex and not feel same stigmatized status as Desoxyn (d-Meth)

Adderall 30mg XR is great
Dexedrine Spansule 15mg are great whole or pulverized into IR powder (like Adderall XR beads)
Ritalin & Focalin are excellent dopaminergic stimulants capable of inducing strong euphoria
Desoxyn while available, is rarely prescribed as its Desoxyephedrine HCL (d-Methamphetamine) and most prescribers would opt for Dexedrine, Vyvanse, Adderall, Ritalin etc

I LOVE the onset & C-Max of my Methylphenidate IR 50-70mg in combination with my Methadone as it’s Ohhh Sooo Pleasurable and just pure sex inside my CNS

Yes it is a relatively low dose....again dosage rec's a.re tough, especially for recreational use

Oh you know what my dumb ass doesnt do stimulants and may have mixed dextroamphetamine and dexamphetamine up --- hence hedging my bets on the dosage significantly due to ignorance.

Sorry bout that if I got em flip flopped

It's exactly the same drug
 
I know its not the most loved drug for a lot of people. But for me, I'M FUCKING MARRIED TO THAT BITCH. I COULD SNORT 100MGS IN A NIGHT AND DO IT OVER AGAIN IN THE MORNING ITS AMAZING.

So 100 mg dex in one night? With tollerance oral 75-90?
 
I have ADHD and get prescribed 2 x 10mg doses of dexamphetamine daily.

I have never found it recreational but simply a tool to make me get out of bed and concentrate on my job.

but my friends who don't have it get high off it. even when I didn't have a tolerance it never really use to get me high - just able to function.
 
Tbh I've only really ever used it when I needed to stay up all night doing assignments and during exams. So my experience is from a few years ago :LOL:

I'd say you can use it recreationally but I've found most value in it through cramming learning

{The dosages I give in this reply are for getting buzzed and having a euphoric feeling and good experience, so they're a little pumped up but not unsafe whatsoever as long as you know about what you're taking and being rested and well hydrated with water daily is a necessary component to a good time just sayin 🙂...} I'll make it easy and answer the immediate question first... Just think of 120 mg of Adderall being equivalent to approximately 70 or 80 mg of pure Dexamphetamine... But it's like very different than that as well because pure dextroamphetamine is way less jittery and much more euphoric in every way you could possibly think of than mixed amphetamine salts which is what Adderall is. That's kind of like asking to make equivalent dosages for very different benzos or even more complex different stimulants especially the stimulant category because well I mean there's just so many different particular effects of different particular preparations available to be prescribed and that's out there period. ANYWAYS (sry I am tangent prone haha) back to the point at hand...if you have a low tolerance to stims then you're going to want to start with dexedrine which is different than Adderall and more potent, at between 15 to 30 mg; for a moderate tolerance between 30 and 45mg, for people with moderately heavy to heavy or long-term experience with stimulants of this caliber, the sweet spot for me personally with dexedrine is at least 60mg-75mg, and even though I have probably the highest tolerance you could imagine to this substance, I really don't feel that going over 80 mg is necessary especially if you make sure that your stomach is empty and alkalized for potentiation of the dose (a lot of you at this point will or already have realized it's very very rare to be prescribed pure dexamphetamine instead of just adderall, and even rarer to get a dosage for adults with severe ADHD even, of 60 mg which is literally the highest that is allowed to be prescribed at least in my state... So when I tell you that I know what I'm talking about and my tolerance is absolutely legit, trust me bc it is lol.... this is the results of knowing what I needed and what my body and brain needed and finding a great psychiatrist. I am currently on 40 mg diazepam, 10 mg lexapro, 250 mg methadone maintenance, and 60 mg of dexedrine daily and have been on this mixture for going on 5 years and it's given me my life back, and you would not know I was on anything if I didn't tell you so that is how literally functional and right I am when I knew what it would take to get me off of a decade long opioid and cocaine addiction IV speedballs...so being happened to be prescribed 60mg dexedrine daily, please realize that I am a living breathing walking polypharmaceutical methadone maintenance miracle who just happened to find the right team of doctors and therapists and having to have aafter many many very articulate conversations with a beautiful person who actually listens and cares as a psychiatrist and doctor to his patients me being one of those very much appreciated lucky people) also just FYI you're going to want to take instant release and try to have a totally empty stomach and well hydrated body before dosing. It's hard to find, but you are going to definitely want to take and or make the ER versions of dexedrine either by your own manipulations or just finding a psychiatrist that is willing to prescribe it or hypothetically finding it out there "somehow" 🤷🏼‍♂️☺️✌🏼✊🏼...It's because dexamphetamine is not at all Adderall, (which I assume you are mistaken about bc it's very commonly made unfortunately. Research is a good starting point for anything that is psychoactive okay people seriously think for yourselves and don't immediately go to an AI or a forum just learn about and I mean really learn about the psychoactive that you plan on possibly ingesting. It's not that difficult and you will actually find that it's much more interesting, pharmacology I mean, then most people will ever know even in communities like this so come on bring back research people😒🙄)... You can read the rest anyone and it's good information, I'm 35 years old and I have made it through many many years of IV cocaine and heroin use, and I am currently stable on a polypharmaceutical regimen that is essentially a miracle that I get to have and that I've worked hard to have because I knew that the whole notion of wanting to engineer your days and nights with pharmaceuticals to feel better and be functional, is entirely possible and I don't care if I have to take a pill or a liquid or something the rest of my life as long as it works and does not have intolerable /extremely bad or unhealthy side effects. Anyways when someone says dextroamphetamine or dexamphetamine or dexedrine specifically, they're talking about pure dextroamphetamine and it is about 1.5 times as strong as the normal mix of what makes up Adderall(100 to 120 mg of Adderall is like taking only 60 to 70 mg of the pure version of generic dextroamphetamine that's not the mixed salt version which is Adderall and I can't help but think you have made the common error of mistakingly not either have done the research to know, or are just apparently even though you know the chemistry knowledge behind chirality and the fact that Adderall is not as strong as enantiomerically pure d isomer only Dextroamphetamine or dexedrine is all of the different isomers and that's why addy is known as(and it says it right on any prescription bottle) racemic mixed amphetamine salts... which contain only 75% pure dextroamphetamine or Dexamphetamine, the rest is levoamphetamine, and to make this as easy as possible dexedrine it is all pure dextroamphetamine. This makes a significant difference in potency because dextroamphetamine is essentially what is and always has been associated with most if not all of the DESIRED AMPHETAMINE EFFECTS such as increased dopamine/social confidence/strong physical euphoria as well as strong cognitive euphoria and internalized well-being [I call this euphoria electric contentment, and it is much more pronounced and much less tweaky feeling with pure dextroratory amphetamine instead of mixed amphetamine salts or Adderall] dextroamphetamine which I am prescribed under the brand name generic dexedrine sulfate and it has not much of the raciness or edginess and other frustrating or annoying symptoms that bring no dopamine or euphoria to the table when it comes to the effects of Adderall because Adderall has the levoamphetamine (Left handed isomer) in it instead of being pure dextroamphetamine. Basically in lay person terms every chemical, molecule, substance, ligand etc, have two different enantiomerically pure isomers. For instance, amphetamine itself is actually consistent in total I believe 4 different isomers. Isomers of each molecule of the given/discussed substance (s) usually ALWAYS have different by either a tiny bit or a crazy completely opposite sometimes amount of different effects! But usually only the levo and dextroratory isomers are talked about bc they are the most prominent within any molecules of any psychoactive substance... So back to amphetamines and your question about dosages... levoamphetamine and dextroamphetamine are extremely functionally and otherwise relevant because that is what the majority of substances molecules differ in between as far as this chiral or mirrored phenomenon goes. So just like any other substance that is psychoactive, at the molecular level amphetamines preparations differ quite a bit. This is usually broken down into either dextroratory (right hand) chiral version and levorotatory is the Left side of the total of the chiral molecule know that this makes difficult conversation if you don't have just even a basic understanding of chemistry, not saying that to be a dick I'm just saying that basically every single molecule and therefore every single substance especially ones that are psychoactive, when they are synthesized and come into existence at that very moment there are two different or in chemistry, formally known as 2 chirally(chirality is just the scientific sounding way of explaining the fact that every molecule contains a lift and a right mirror image just like human hands which is where the left and right analogy comes from)... ✌🏼♥️ Stay safe if anyone wants more information about things like this feel free to message me on here or whatever, if I can't pass on the knowledge I've learned then I feel I am doing a large disservice to my beloved people and communities within those people's cultures. If I could have a job that was my dream job it would be pharmacologist and underground legendary status guru of mastering and knowing the basics of chemistry and organic chemistry and dispensing it upon the masses that would do very well to know these things and who knows I might even save a few people's lives and certainly will save many people from bad experiences or bad trips etc. peace 🫡🧐 and at the your counter cultural service. Lol.

Also always stay hydrated with plenty of water, and just listen to your body it will tell you what it needs. Also I would take it on an empty stomach and possibly with a Tagamet or some alkaline water or sodium bicarbonate dissolved within water drank down beforehand because a more alkaline stomach and renal system potentiates stimulants in length and the velocity of the coming up. Especially with any substituted amphetamines. They're a very very large class of stimulants. Which is what dexedrine and Adderall (along with many more stimulants) both are. But be careful because potentiating by alkalization through antacids or sodium bicarbonate and water or just lots of alkaline water or whatever you choose to use for potentiation, is I wouldn't say very dangerous but it does make the length nearly twice as long as usual with no potentiation, and the feeling and effects are quite more pronounced but that's usually a good thing at least in my experience LOL safe dosing and safe travels my friend).✌🏼
