*Adderall Binge Questions*

[amir1091]

I'll start off with a little b/g of my Adderall history. I've been using Adderall at least once a week, give or take some weeks, for about 1.5 years since my friend in high school was prescribed it, Fall 2012. It wasn't until Fall 2014 I was prescribed it myself and started taking doses above 50+mg, eventually going up to doses 100+ during 2015 so far.I have developed a hefty tolerance to the drug overtime because of how frequent I took it.

Since Tuesday at 9am, I've taken 340mg of Adderall IR, the last dose being 100mg Thursday at 9am. I have slept a total of 6-7 hours in the time and just ate food for the first time a few hours ago. I hadn't taken Adderall in about 2 weeks before starting this binge, which is one of the longest times ive been without Adderall since my very first time ever taking it.

The first day Tues 8am, I took 100mg and got a great high. The high for me now is not euphoric as much as a feeling of my puzzle pieces being put together and I'm just up and ready to go. The next morning I took 140mg, aiming to tweak and get fucked up. The high seemed to be equal, maybe even a little less than the previous day. Then Thursday morning, today, I took 100mg again because of general worry for my heart, etc. and I found it to be one of my hardest tweaking experiences.

It wasn't one of my highest doses and I took it after 2 days of taking high doses, so what would be the reason for this? Am I just thinking that it is? The high today was different, it was a lot more meth like and "dark", and I experienced several moments of rushing anxiety and darker, more intense stuff that I had on meth, but not on Adderall before, which I enjoyed and consider to be more fucked up than any of the other days.

Amir,

Your dosage is astronomically high. To the point where tolerance will heavily set in and you're simply ingesting copious amounts that will reap you no benefits. This is a very slipper slope, one that will lead to major withdrawal issues. I would recommend a tapering process to lower your dosage significantly. No person should be taking such a large dose of Amphetamine, regardless that it is prescribed. It is still a harmful drug in large amounts. You need to begin a taper and learn to function without becoming so reliant on a medication. Hope you're willing to heed to my advice. All the best.

Cheers

Tomer

You have only slept 6 hours over 2 days, have barely eaten, and have been constantly on a dopamine releasing agent. Based on this and your comments that the experience feels dark and anxious, it is likely that you are beginning to experience amphetamine psychosis. It will only get worse with continued use. You should stop taking it for the day and get a good nights rest. Benzos could be used for this, but natural sleep would be better.

Who knows? You had what an MD would describe as an "idiosyncratic drug response."

If you are anything like me, you'll say, "screw it" and take 90-120 mg and then pass out.

I don't have as high of a tolerance as you, so during a three day binge I maybe would take 100mg total. But I have heard a lot of people say when your on a binge you have to take equal to or higher dose the next day which for me is completely the opposite.

I will binge real hard the first day/night and then when I get up the next morning I only need a little, say half what I took the night before, to be satisfied.

I'm probably weird or something but if I were to dose equal the next day (speaking recreational doses), my heart would beat out of my chest and I'd feel like I was going to die.
