I popped 3 20mg extended release Adderalls about 2 hours ago. I feel very confident now. Like all my shyness has disappeared and i could talk to a random person like Ive known them for years. Is this normal for Adderall and can it be achieved with a smaller dosage?
 
Yes you get a confidence boost, but then you build tolerance and you get to the point where 100mg won't work like 60mg your first time
 
Tolerance builds rather quickly with adderall. 60mgs is on the high side (no pun) for a beginners dose. I would have started with half of that. Take some time off between doses, and try a lower dose, like 30mgs next time. Using consecutive days builds your tolerance very fast with adderall.

IME, it takes a lot higher dose to achieve the same high if you use several times in a week. I haven't used adderall that much at all, but last time I used it 3x in a week, and that third time I didn't experience much euphoria like the first time that week.
 
So what happens to the millions of people prescribed to take it everyday? Do they just raise the dosage over time?
 
^ A lot of people have their dosage increased over time. It may still be effective in treating ADHD symptoms at the lower doses, but as for the euphoria that you feel, now that goes away relatively quickly if taken regularly at the same dose.
 
Its not exactly the euphoria that I want from it unless you consider the confidence boost euphoric (which it probably is I really don't know). But either way thanks for the answers.
 
^ Yup, I would consider a boost in confidence that makes me want to speak to any random person euphoric. You are feeling good, therefore want to socialize. That may go away relatively fast, but your increased focus/alertness/concentration should continue.
 
Would it be bad for me to take adderall occasionally like maybe once every week or two. When I ask this I mean for my body in general.
 
You have to be aware of the side effects, and take precautions to combat them.

Amphetamines cause dehydration, suppressed appetite, and insomnia. Be aware that you may not feel thirsty or hungry, but you body needs those. Make sure that you stock up on food and water before taking it. You will likely get bad headaches if you don't eat or drink while on amphetamine.

Take proper measures to arrange for some time to crash. You will likely be awake for an extended period of time, so allow for a day to recover, and don't make plans for the day after taking it.

That's all I can really say about it. Others with more experience will chime in, or you can do a search for more info on bl. This thread may help.

edit: This is another link that may be even more helpful to you. It touches on issues of neurotoxicity and tolerance.

I am prescribed d-amphetamine instant release tablets, also known as dexedrine IR. IME, This doesnt build a tolerance as quickly as adderall does (as two of the four salts of adderall are racemic amphetamine, and the other two are d-amphetamine).

You could definitely use it once a week to once a month, although you might still want to try out lower dosages. Often I find a similar medicinal effect can be achieved without getting to a similar degree of side effects.

Make sure to continue to focus on eating well, drinking plenty of water, and using mineral supplements as well as taking vitamins.
 
Once every week or two with a reasonable dose and not missing sleep shouldn't cause much of a problem, although amphetamines are still hard on the body. And certainly try the lowest dose possible to get the effects that you are looking for; 60mg is quite high with no tolerance.
 
The very first time I took Adderall IR all I had to take was 30mg orally to get a wonderful euphoric feeling from it....the only way I can even get ANY euphoria from it is if I don't take any for 2-3 weeks. The second day I took it I had to take approx. 60mg to even feel anything!
 
of course thats normal what your feeling, and of course you can achieve that feeling at MUCH lower doses, even 10mg can have you feeling like that for 12+ hrs first time using it, since u dosed that high, your tolerance is up there. trying to have this magical feeling a little too much will work wonders causing higher tolerance, negative side effects. etc....the magic ur experiencing wears off very quickly and rapidly...to keep that magic i sugggest taking adderall 4 times a month maximum to avoid tolera nce builld up, loss of positive effects. etc
 
I'd say that the foolishness of your increased confidence goes away. People on amphetamines and other euphoric stimulants seldom realize how content they are with talking about personal/private subjects with strangers. Not to mention the excessive talking can be annoying to some people.

50mg dextroamphetamine in adderall form once a week or every other week if you want to maintain the euphoria and use it for socializing. Pushing your tolerance and overusing adderall can be a frustrating experience and often gateway into the use of other (arguably) more powerful stimulants to achieve the same effects.

I have never used methamphetamine or her icy older brother, but after I started using Dextroamphetamine often I put consideration into stepping up to methamphetamine.


There's my spill. Amphetamines are my favorite classification of drug. I consider them the "salt of the earth" literally. But they can make or break people.

This, and IME tolerance doesn't go down very quickly at all.
be real happy 60 gets you high as fuck, last time i did adderall 140 wasn't enough to get me that high.
and i didnt have near the amphetamine tolerance then as i do now, but i also agree, 40 woulda probably been enough for you the first time.
 
Anyone with an adderall tolerance try taking straight, pure, dex-amp at the same dose?

Were they the same effects?
 
I'm experienced with like, the reverse of what you're talking about
I've taken adderall when i've been out of dexedrines
IMO dex beats the living SHIT out of adderall for HIGH btu if you just wanna stay up picking at yourself, take adderalls.
I can feel the difference easy/
 
Yeah...I would call that euphoria. I am pretty shy and quiet so when I was first prescribed Adderall, one 10mg IR made me feel great. I took it around 7pm and didn't notice anything after 30minutes. Then the energy starting creeping up on me and I decided to go for a walk around 11pm. I usually feel self conscious, not wanting to see anyone I know when I am outside..socially awkward you could say. But during that walk, I was REALLY hoping to run into somebody I knew. I wanted to call people on my phone list that I hadn't talked to in a while.

Sadly, that feeling only lasted for the first week and then it was all downhill from there. I wish I could get Dexedrine but my doctor isn't willing to rx it but he is MORE than willing to prescribe Vyvanse(which is an extended release of Dexedrine).

My advice is to use it as sparingly as possible if you want to keep the positive effects going. The longer you space out your doses, the better it will feel.
