Hey guys, thinking about taking Adderall RX for studying, but being completely new to it, I was also wondering if I could get some advice on it such as: how much to take or at least the minimum for the effects to start coming in; if in fact RX is the best type of Adderall or most common, etc; pretty much anything you guys can tell me. I'm planning to take it in moderation. It's not going to be something I plan on taking every time I study, just when I need to review large materials.

You should start out with 10mg and see how that feels. That should work fine for a beginners dose for studying.

I'm going to move this to the correct forum.

Other Drugs --> Basic Drug Discussion
 
amhetamines are cool for studying, but i usually get sidetracked from the euphoria and increase of self-esteem
 
The first time I tried adderall was w/ a 10mg XR and it definitely worked. The crash/comedown won't be bad from a low dose like this. Just use it for studying when you have to and you will have a good experience.

Just a heads up, don't get caught up in the euphoria. It goes away pretty quickly.
 
I did 15mg my first time and it sort've helped but not fully. The second time I did it, I did 30mg and was the most focused I had ever been up to that point. Try 10-15 to start with and if that doesn't work, bump it up.
 
Yeah you definitely mean XR, which is extended release. Try 10-20mg to start, and dont be worried. I've taken like 120mg and that was alot of fun. There shouldnt really be much of a comedown/hangover with such a low dosage.
 
I know everyone on here is saying 10 MG... But I did NOT feel A THING till 25 MG, and I'm a 90 lbs female, but everyone's natural tolerance is different. It's also Adderall XR (extended release). IMO, Ritalin/Concerta is better, and I'm going to catch hell for that, since everyone thinks it's so "dirty." Adderall just makes me into an anorexic zombie(focus is SLIGHTLY improved) but not enough for what I need. Concerta/Ritalin gives me that "up all night super focused" thing I need for school, and I can think of food without wanting to vomit :P Again, it's based on the person.

The first time you take it, it will hit you HARD. Like you'll feel like you're having a panic attack. It's just your body adjusting. Just distract yourself for 45 minutes or so and you'll realize how great you feel. Haha. Now, the comedown is a bitch. You'll want to die. Especially if you have depression. And the more often you do it, the worse the comedown is.

And as I've said MANY times, it depends on the person. I know people who if they get to 25 MGs they think their heart is beating out of their chest, but I also know people who can get to 75 MGs (NOT RECOMMENDED) and are okay with it. I also know people who don't feel anything on one, but everything on the other. It just depends on you. Play with it. Don't combine it with other things... even caffeine. If it's extreme on you, just remember it WILL stop. Be safe and smart.
 
If you're experiencing adult ADD or "burn out" and it is effecting your grades negatively, then a prescription of adderall could not hurt to pursue in order to better your life.

As others have mentioned, don't chase the "fun"

You study sober, and adderall it up before the test.

Remember it increases in the moment type performance.

Nooo, the opposite.

Study on adderall and take the test sober. I usually study on desoxyn or dexedrine ER over the course of three days (not in a row, I maintain my normal sleep pattern as well as eat and hydrate as you should always do on amphetamines, recreational or therapeutic) and then for the next 2 days before the test, I stay 100% sober. During that period, I get a healthy amount of sleep, exercise, eat healthy food, and generally try to be as healthy as I possibly can. It might seem odd to have to do that, but if you have trouble focusing during a test, it makes a world of difference. Additionally, Omega-3 fatty acids, Gotu Kola, Vitamin C and possibly small cup of Yerba Mate (although if it's a long test, then skip the Yerba Mate, generally no caffeine) in the morning with breakfast before the test will help keep you focused without any of the hindering aspects of adderall (not thinking rationally, taking too long to solve one problem, anxiety, general discomfort).

It's a great study tool, but as I learned the hard way, it can work against you on tests. The two days of recovery and general healthy practices are also crucial.
 
I find vyvanse/adderall at its prescribed dose helps me excel through the test quicker and not over think questions.

Results are better as well.

But that's me.
 
vyvanse is a better tool for tests, and since OP is new to adderall, and I'm assuming also stimulants in general, adderall could prove to be a bit much for a first time. I don't think OP is prescribed it either. vyvanse would be a better candidate.

and everybody reacts to drugs differently. the method I posted is simply a healthier, more reliable method. many people report getting OCD-like symptoms when taking tests on adderall, here on BL. at the same time, however, many people find it to be a wonder-drug for tests.
 
Sorry I have been inactive, just recently bought a new laptop, my old one crashed, and was dealing with finals and all that jazz. Thanks for all the advice, guys, really appreciate it. As Bigfanofthemdrugs said, I'm definitely new to this, and simply doing it because I have a terrible habit of getting distracted when I really need to study. I don't plan on taking it before tests, but that might be because I have no idea how it's going to effect me. I've read stories about how some people were simply too focused that they would stare way too long on one problem.

I've been doing a bit of research and I think you can buy Adderall without a prescription. Well, I found this site http://www.cheap-pharm.com/, yet I'm not too sure if it's legit (I found other scam sites). Apparently the generic form of Adderall is Strattera. Not sure about the difference between generic and non-generic.
 
i hav no idea where im sposed to say this, maybe u can help me: been up all night on 260 mgs adderall xr, crushed & snorted or poured the beads in my mouth and chewed them. did 60 mgs at a time in a space of 8 hrs. feel pretty icky this morning and my tummy is killing me! shld i be concerned about overdose? had a killer headache, took an aspirin & an acetominophen, its pretty much gone now. also just snorted half of the 40 mgs i have left. i use it once a month
 
hey man, adderall (mixed amphetamine salts) is a schedule II controlled substance, as is ritalin (methylphenidate), so anywhere you see selling it on the web especially without prescription is going to be a scam. please do note that strattera is a completely different and unscheduled chemical (atomoxetine), a NRI, which is sometimes prescribed to people with ADD but has a different effect profile than adderall or ritalin.
 
curious, if you're still alive now, you'll be fine, just likely to feel pretty "cracked out" for the next day or two... some xanax might help you to relax a little bit.

why did you use 260mgs of adderall. that is way too much man, you could kill yourself!! im glad to hear you are alright, but dont take those 40mgs you have left.
dude, come on now though, you are snorting the beads? i know you crush them up, but i haave crushed them up in a pill crusher and motar and pestle and there is always some beads that wont be crushed. also, when you crush the beads, the coating is still in with the powder and the only way to remove the powder would be to dissolve the crushed up addy beads into water. strain out the coating, evaporate the liquid, and you have pure d amp. but i am assuming that you didnt do this, and instead you just snrted the wax coating with the amphetamine salts. these wax coatings are terrible for your nose, and when they get in your lungs, they can cause very serious complications.
 
Strattera is too organic. It's slow for your needs, it sounds like. As for sources, It's great when you know the person and he/she had like, 30 too many tablets or something. The obscure websites are a shot in the dark for the most part. Anyway, I take Adderall (Amphetamine Salts is the generic and I actually take that per my insurance company). So as I was saying, this stuff should be tested because your body will do with it what your friend's body never did with it. Normally not a whole lot of difference but find somebody who can spare some of his/her prescribed Adderall, that's the safest way to go about it.
