Hey guys, so first off lets start by saying I have never done any other drug in my life, not even weed. I am 6'1 and weigh 155lb (I run track and cycle). I just took a 15mg Adderal XR about 35-40m ago. I don't feel a thing other than a bit of the shakes, maybe due to my nerves. How long does one usually wait for the effects to kick in. Is 15mg not enough? if so how long should I wait till I take another?

I should point out I ate about 10m before taking the pill. That might have something to due with it but IDK.
 
What kind of effect are you expecting? 15 mgs is a low dose and I wouldn't expect it to do more than possibly improve wakefulness or cognition a little bit.
 
The main reason I got it was for some Math exams coming up. I wanted to test it today to see if I liked it or not. I was expecting some sort of rush. Not a high feeling but rather wanting to get shit done rush. I'm doing some online homework and still find myself distracted by other things. I don't even feel that awake, its as if I never even took any.

should I take another?
 
I would usually shoot for a starting dose of around 30-45 mgs whenever I took Adderall, personally.

alright well I just took another one so we will see how that works

EDIT: well its been about an hour since my second one and I still don't feel anything lol. Bad batch? or for some reason do I have a high tolerance?

I think the full onset of extended release Adderall is something like an hour and a half. The extended release generally doesn't produce much of a "rush" in general, it's a lot slower and subtler. If you had taken 30mg at the same time, you might have gotten more out of it. Sporadic low doses are metabolized out of sync with each other, which means you never reach the threshold that causes the cascading dopamine release people experience as motivation.

It wouldn't hurt to take one more and see how it makes you feel. I'd be somewhat surprised if you experienced nothing at all from 45mg.
 
Also: how did you procure these Adderalls? Do you have a prescription, or did you buy them off of someone else? Because it's really easy to open the XR capsules and rip someone off by taking some of the beads out, or replacing them with something else entirely. Just a thought.

I got them from a friend of mine. He has a prescription. I doubt he would rip me off since he is one of my best friends. I don't know if this means anything but, my doc said a while back that I should see a psychiatrist for possible diagnosis of ADD, does is affect people that actually have ADD differently? I do feel a little bit, but not a lot just a tad more focused.
 
Yo ignore everything I just said. This shit just hit me hard. I've been sitting down all day and finally got up. Do yea I should probably stay with one pill next time. I feel great right now
