Adderall Tolerance?

I got my hand on some Adderall pills, I am not officially diagnosed with any form of ADD but get a great boost out of the pills as you would any amphetamine. I am more productive then I ever have been and I love the feeling. I am really only doing them when I need to, every 2-3 days. Does a tolerance generally build up with Adderall? The pills I have are fairly small, 30mg XR. Also, what are some potentiators?

Oh, and I must add. Packing a lipper while adderall is startin to peak is bliss

At that rate you'll eventully grow a tolerence.

Try mixing it with dopamine boosters such as l-tyrosine, caffeine, etc.
 
I've been prescribed 20mg adderall IR x2 daily for the past 3 years, the only time i was on a dosage other than this was the first month when i was on 10mg adderall ir x3 daily. Tolerance has never really effected me. Come to think of it the only thing that really had an impact that i realized was taking it with anything acidic.
 
if you keep your doses spread out as youve detailed, the tolerance will be a slow build. be careful about binging, it skyrockets your tolerance more than therapeutic dosing will.
 
I've been doing week long binges recently with 50-80mg xr a day, yesterday I tried just 30mg and didn't really feel much :\

making your stomach less acid will help potentiate it. take some antacids (tums) along with your adderall next time and see if you feel a difference.

i dont think caffeine boosts dopamine? i think its just an adrenaline agonist.

magnesium will help slow/reduce tolerance build up as well. just look in the bluelight FAQ.
 
Taking a tablespoon of baking soda ~45 minutes prior to dosing apparently will basify the stomach and slow the absorption/metabolism of the adderall. I am not very experienced with this so maybe someone else who has actually done this can chime in with some better anecdotal evidence in regards to its effect.

I used to take a lot of dexedrine though, and one thing for sure is that tolerance builds FAST if you dose daily. After a while the good effects fade and you are left with more negative effects.

If you are taking amphetamine regularly please try and eat properly, stay hydrated, get sleep as normally as possible, and take vitamins/supplements. An amphetamine dependence wreaks havoc on the body.

Im well aware :p.... I force myself to eat something high in calories like eggnog or milkshakes if I havn't found myself eating enough in a day.
 
This is a pretty basic questions so I'll go ahead and redirect this to Basic Drug Discussion for you :)

He was merely giving you some harm reduction tips... no need for that :p attitude face bro.

Personally speaking, I'm prescribed 3x 10mg Dexedrine IR per day (the equivalent, in Adderall, to 20mg 3x/day IR). I've been prescribed 30mg Dexedrine/day for years now, and still get the effect I need at a given time from 10-15mg. So, for me, tolerance seems almost nonexistent. This, however, is a rarity, judging from the anecdotal experiences of Erowid and Bluelight users that I've read, as well as good friends who've seemingly lost the ability to experience a strong release of dopamine and norepinephrine from stimulant medications. Some have required 50-60mg of Dexedrine (I cannot IMAGINE!) in order to get out of bed in the morning. So tolerance definitely develops, although for me personally it has been an elusive concept.
And no, the pills you have are not 'fairly small' - they are the largest dose Adderall you can get, although they do make 30mg IR pills which would produce a greater effect than the XR's would because they aren't time released.

Haha it wasn't directed at you my friend but rather the fact you have to force youself to eat. I know a buddy who takes 75mg in the morning and at night? I sure hope he wasn't lying because that's insane... but I guess it's true.

I think he ment he takes 3 25mg pills throughout the day and takes something else to sleep at night.
 
If you are benefiting from 30mgs of xr adderal then stick with that dose and try to not abuse it...At my worse I can recall taking 180mgs IR in one handful and falling asleep a few hours later...tolerance develops rapidly and the withdrawal is pure hell...After abusing adderal and getting clean I managed to graduate college with honors under the influence of NOTHING..people really need to assess if they should be taking speed everyday to get through life...the side effects and damage are terrible...

I don't wanna sound like I'm preaching but try to use the Adderal on an as-needed basis, and if you use it recreationally, make sure to keep the doses moderate...Without a tolerance, I feel that 40-80mgs of IR adderal taking at one time, orally, is one of the best feelings in the world..
