Adderall dosing question

I have a sample of Adderall 20mg pills coming soon. They are NOT the SR's like you get from the Doctor. I used to take some Adderall during high school before they put out the SR version that is pretty much all docs prescribe now in the US. This is a 20mg pill with a score in the middle. I'm having a really hard time with energy lately. I have been off energy drinks for a month and plan to stay away from them. So coffee all day is what I'm doing to stay awake and get work done ATM. I've decided I'm done with RC speed. I liked 2-FMA but over time I could tell it was probably not a good habit to have. I don't intend this to be a habit, just something available for days like today where I draggin' ass and just wanna go back to sleep. Would 10mg be too strong to start off with?
 
Basic dosing question --> BDD.

Idk what you mean regarding Adderall XR being the only kind prescribed, I saw Adderall IR just as often as I saw the XR version. But I avoid adderall like the plague. I dunno about the 2-FMA or any RC shit, but I remember first time I took adderall, it was 10mg, and it was a crazy new feeling but I hate the levo-amphetamine it gave me side effects and dried out my mouth which I despised, so my time with adderall was needless to say, the dextro-isomers of most amphetamines are the desired ones and feel much cleaner. I dunno, I don't condone the abuse of any drug but 10mg would definitely be a good starting dose. Do you take other drugs too?

Besides dry mouth what were your side effects. I can't recall anything else. Sometimes the next day when I woke up I felt a lil like puking, but that passed. Adderall never felt dirty to me. I loved it, it worked and helped me get a ton of school work done.
 
adderall.. i used to take them on a daily basis around two years ago, and i agree that it gets you through your school work. I certainly felt more alert and awake, and i doubt 10mg would be of any danger to you.. in fact i'll say its not much at all, there are people out there taking 100mg+ even though that would pretty much turn you into an energetic robot.
 
Idk, I take 25mg of XR every now and then and I get very very hyper, and even sometimes get waves of euphoria that come and go. However, my friend doesnt experience this on addy, and we always take it together. I think 10 is a good dose to test on tbh, but thats just me.
 
I was prescribed both Adderall and Dexedrine, not at the same time and took them in low doses. Doctors prescribe Adderall XR/SR or Adderall IR. Start on a very low dose of 5-10mg and see how that effects you. I never took more than 15mg of Adderall or Dexedrine at once but I took the orally and as prescribed. The people I know who got into taking very large doses of Dexedrine or Adderall or who got into snorting, smoking/vaporizing, or IVing them wound up having major problems with them.

Also make sure you do not have any heart, cardio, or blood pressure issues at all before you take them. Don't take them with depressants or downers or even alcohol as some people like to drink on amphetamines. I'm not a doctor or medical professional and you should talk to one with the questions you have. I found Adderall and Dexedrine to have pretty much the exact same effect on me but sometimes if I took them early in the morning I would fall asleep on them. While you are on a stimulant like Dexedrine, Adderall, or even just a lot of caffeine make sure you stay hydrated by drinking water and even though you might not want to eat a lot you have to force yourself to eat. Just take the pills orally as they were not designed to be snorted, IV'd, smoked/vaporized, or taken another ROA.
 
I am prescribed 20mg INSTANT RELEASE twice a day, so they are still prescribed but are less likely to be prescribed compared to the extended release. I only take a few times a week, and usually at a higher dose i was doing 60mg at once twice a week (which is pretty high, and wasn't because of a tolerance, it was just real euphoric at that dose). But even with being prescribed klonopin, that wasn't enough fully enough to stop the evil comedown (even from prescribed dose, which is why i don't take it everyday as prescribed).

For fun a few times (since i like to see how people react to things) i gave two different friends at work two 20mg adderalls to take at the same time under my supervision at seperate occassions. First girl, said she has extreme energy and felt real good but didn't wanna become addicted to them and didn't admit it until much later on the reason she was being extremely bitchy the next day because she said she felt like shit, i giggled and said, well do you think you really could take them everyday, and handle how you felt since it will continue to get worse, so she was like no more for me. My other friend, started being more social and less anxious and felt real good but i'm assuming didn't feel it enough (even at that dose) since she didn't feel the more common symptoms someone with no tolerance to adderall taking 40 mg IR should.

So generally speaking, i think 10mg is real low, me or most of the people i know would not feel much of a buzz from 10mg of adderall even with no tolerance, but a few people are more sensitive to them and are lucky. I think a 30mg of instant release is a good amount, it's not too high to start with, and it's also should be enough to feel it pretty good if you don't have a natural tolerance for needing more to feel the same effects as others (like me).

Don't expect it to feel like a typical drug, your not gonna feel extremely fucked up etc, it has a mild body high, and you will be more alert, speedier, social concentrated+motivated and horny with not so much but slight tingles running through your body. AND MUSIC IS AMAZING. Try to have weed, a benzo, or anything for coming down assuming it's a safe dosage
