Adderall Dosage Seperation

So SWIM was wondering if taking Adderall in 2 doses, rather than 1 large dose, would make for a longer AND stronger high? SWIM knows it would make it last longer but is not sure about the impact on strength.

SWIM was considering taking 60mg (SWIM usually takes 60mg), then taking another 30mg a few hours later for a real speedy rush. SWIM just wanted to ask if it would be more effective to take all at once or in doses, SWIM doesn't want to waste 30mg if it won't do anything. Also, SWIM wants this to be a really great day so he thinks bumping it up 30 will be good.

Also, SWIM is very new to Adderall and was wanted to make sure 1x a week wasn't too often. SWIM takes Magnesium every night before bed, if that really works.

Edit: And SWIM used the forum search engine before SWIM posted, so please don't hate SWIM if this has already been asked!

SWIM Thanks you all!
 
Firstly, please don't use SWIM; it provides no support in the unfortunate case of a prosecution :)
Now that's out of the way: yes, spacing out your doses would make the high last longer, or appear to do so. However, the strength would be greatly diminished, you'll be half as high for twice as long meaning you have to deal with the negative effects for longer, and more of a risk of having a bad day if you have things planned. Just blow the 60mg and enjoy yourself!

Oh and stay safe!
 
Oh, wasn't aware of the SWIM deal... thanks for that.

Would doing 90mg be a bad idea, instead of the 60mg?
 
Baking soda...

...2grams thirty minutes before, and 1 gram after your Addy dose. Should last you twice as long just about.

Thank Nexius for this one.

If you are used to taking 60mg at once, 90mg shouldn't be a problem whatsoever and should work better than redosing.

Alright, perfect. Just what I wanted to know. =D

Before and after huh? I usually only do 1 tsp. 45mins before. Spilling it up will work better then, for the baking soda doses I mean? What about taking tums and zantac instead of baking soda? I hate the taste of that stuff! Not to mention I feel sick for probably 30mins afterwards.

Edit: Just as an FYI.... doing what I said above keeps me feeling pretty good for about 12 hours, then it really starts to taper down.
 
Don't take Zantac, this is hard to reverse if you do get into trouble and need to re-acidify your G.I. tract to rid your body of adderall. It works differently than Tums.

Tums has about the same effectiveness as baking soda, so this is fine.
 
Okay, no Zantac. I read a bit about it and it seems that it actually stops, well really reduces, the amount of acid your produces. Where as Tums just raises the Ph.

I've read some pretty conflicting posts saying the baking soda is somehow better than tums... you guys really think it makes a difference?

What about taking Mg before a dosing of Addy? I've also read some pretty conflicting things about that also.

Thanks for all the quick answers by the way, I really appreciate all the help.
 
Do you mean milk of magnesia, or Magnesium carbonate? Both of these would work too.

Although you might have a really bad case of the shits if you use milk of magnesia.
 
I mean Magnesium. Just wondering if taking 2 500mg magnesium tablets with the baking soda is a good idea. But I actually do take a bit of milk of magnesia the night before because I plug the addy. Yeah, gross I know... but I have absolutely no doubt in my mind it works.
 
I see your question has been answered. I've read over all the comments (and the question obviously) and find myself feeling a bit more informed - in other words, thanks for the q/a's.

I've been on an adderall binge this month and find that tolerance goes up FAST. I seem to have a bit of a 'natural' tolerance to uppers. The first time I did adderall I needed 45 to feel it. Quickly I moved up to 60 and I'm at the point where I don't WANT to take more (as it seems wasteful). As someone that has never been one for uppers (I love/hate opiates) I wonder, "How long should I abstain to lower my tolerance?"
--maybe I should have made a new thread. ALSO, perhaps this has already been discussed. I'm going to search the site now (and not erase this in the meantime) . ;)
 
^ Not really, as 30mg can feel like at least twice as much, and twice as long when using the baking soda method.

Baking soda increases absorption, and inhibits excretion of (ANY) drug of the amphetamine class.

It's too easy not to try for yourself, it will blow you away. 2 grams 30mins before dosing, and 1 gram 30mins after dosing, you will be set.

It's a known thing. Google it. It's even on the prescription information when you get it.
 
^ Hey were you telling me about that the other day or something? Or someone on here was...

Just gotta get some amphetamine first, hard to get here in Oz.
 
60mgs of Adderall at once would be anxiety city for me. If you just want to get high take it all at once, otherwise I think it's more useful to split it up. It's all personal preference I guess.

Tolerance to stimulants is extraordinarily rapid and may persist a very long time. Remarkable tolerance is often seen as quick as the 2nd or 3rd "dose." Often the euphoria from a 1st time stim usage is halved (or more) by the second/ third time (for a specific stimulant).
And how long will tolerance last?- of course it depends on the individual and what stimulant, how administered, for how long, how often, etc. Nevertheless, not-insignificant tolerance from just a handful of administrations can remain for months, even years!
Although effects from a "first time" are often never to be completely replicated, even if screwing with amount, etc., it does vary greatly person to person. The rapid onset of tolerance and length of time it lingers is simply a notorious side-effect of 'uppers'.
