Hi,

This is my first post on here and I searched the site and couldn't find what I was looking for, sorry if this is a redundant post.

I have ADD and I have noticed when I roll depending on the bean I tend to roll longer and harder sometimes than my friends off of just one bean when my friends have to take about 2-3 to get where I am off of one and they are from the same batch.They roll for maybe 4-5 hours off of good beans while I tend to roll for 7-8 hours. We drop at the same time and everything.

I am on Concerta for my ADD and I don't take it on days that I know I will roll. I have one other friend who has ADD and he has noticed similar affects, we are both usually the last ones awake and can't sleep while our other friends can fall asleep with no problem. We both tend to have an obsessive type of a focus on 1-2 particular things all night.

I have since tried adjusting when I drop because usually it can take about 1-2 hours for it to hit me and I hate dropping at 10pm coming up at like 11:30 and not coming down till 8AM while my friends are done at around 4-5AM. Also I tend to enjoy rolling at clubs because it helps to keep my mind active helps to wear me out instead of sitting around listening to music at home. I have tried taking 1/2 a pill if I don't want to feel like I want to roll that hard and be up all night, I know there is speculation on how a 1/2 a pill will affect the length of the roll and the strength of it but sometimes I just don't want to deal with the full affects but want a little something if I don't want to just drink alcohol. Also I tend to like to have a few drinks while rolling because I feel like it helps to balance out my roll if I roll sober I roll really hard sometimes. I think the alcohol helps when I comedown and am ready to try and sleep.

I was just wondering if anyone else who has ADD/ADHD has similar affects or notices anything different about their rolls that might be because of their ADD/ADHD? Thoughts, Experiences, Etc...

Thanks
 
Additional thoughts

Also all of my pills are tested and I know there are usually some fillers caffeine etc and I thought maybe this would be a reason why I can't sleep but stimulants are supposed to work the opposite on people with ADD.

Also has anyone rolled while on their medication and if so do you notice anything different than when rolling off. I have accidentally rolled a couple times on days that I took my medication but it usually has been out of my system for a few hours before I drop.

Thanks again!

Pretty sure that's mostly bs, my understanding as someone with ADD is that it can sometimes just take a bit higher dose to show stimulating effects, but it ends up effecting everyone about the same at higher doses.
 
drug dealers are crap. this is not informative, but it's the truth, you never can know what the binders are.......
 
Again, I'm going to pull the "I researched ADHD in a psych lab" card. :P

It's not the case that most with AD(H)D respond paradoxically to stimulants, eg getting drowsy, etc. Rather, proportionally more AD(H)D-diagnosed folks react paradoxically than those w/o the diagnosis.
...
Here are some ways that I'm guessing ADHD might influence effects:
1. those who react atypically to stimulants will more likely experience less of the classically stimulating side of MDMA.
2. tolerance to ADD meds might cause tolerance to stimulant-type FX

med interactions:

Most find them to augment stimulation additively, even with NDARIs like methylphenidate, even though the latter could theoretically block some of MDMA's stimulation. Amphetamine usually makes for a more pleasant combo. And I have to mention that cocaine blocks MDMA's effects. And dose low on both if you try a combo.

ebola
 
I ha e first hand experience with this.
For me, taking concerta even the day before my roll, greatly diminishes it.
 
I was diagnosed with ADD when I was a kid, never took anything for it but noticed that I am a straight shot laser beam on dexedrine... but a thoughtless puddle on MDMA. I feel like thinking or reading would be WAY to much focused effort and would rather be purely physical dancing or just cuddling at those times.

as for duration I used to roll for a bit longer than my friends on half the dose but after many rolls (perhaps a few more than nessasary, oi) I've noticed that my metabolism for the stuff is about normal

10 pm - take 2 pills at all night rave
11 pm - they kick in full force, i'm opening up looking for people to hug and be cute with
1 pm - they taper a bit, I wonder if I should take the third dose
2 pm - I take the third dose, a little lift, very aware of drugs characteristics because i'm already on it, theres some novelty to it.
4-5 am - everyone i'm with agrees to get a cab and we all go home, maybe for a short walk somewhere but generally just want to pass out by then.

I'd imagine one becoming either sensitive or resistant to stimulants after being on them for a long period of time. I can personally say that the more stimulants I do... the harder it is to keep a regular schedule, i'm buzzed at crazy hours of the night just begging for sleep. etc.

careful with those prescription stims XD
 
Thanks Tunnelfission, interesting thoughts to compare to. I wasn't diagnosed until I was 19. I suppose there are so many factors that could affect a person's roll at any given time (food, sleep etc) it would be hard to pinpoint what affects certain aspects of a roll.
