adderall vs ritalin

^^ the doctor in the US I assume will be under the impression you haven't tried meds before?.. if you are gonna do this, I assume you're gonna want your British doctor to seem realistic?
 
i ve been reading a lot of reports...
so far i think adderall provides a better experience for the casual taker.
i want a high to replace coke, which i do 1 time every 1-2 months.
am i on the right track?
 
adderall isnt going to be a great replacement for coke if thats what you are asking. sure it will make you a bit more sociable/talkative and keep you up but it doesnt have the euphoria and some of the other aspects that come with coke.
 
i cant stand ritalin if i eat or snort it, it drives me insane, it feels kind of nice if you inject it though.

the "not caring" effect is what i like about coke.
 
sadly, adderall and dexedrine are not available in greece.
ritalin on the other hand is.
i think i have to go with this....
ritalin 20mg or the SR version?
 
I'm in Australia and my doctor wanted to prescribe me dexamphetamine when I first went to him for my adult ADD, I politely refused and requested ritalin instead. After a year on that, I asked to be switched over to dexamphetamine...which was ok, I liked it...but it was very different to ritalin which I seem prefer better. So again...I have now changed back to ritalin.

Each drug has it's good and bad sides. It just depends on what suits you better. And it also depends if you are using as prescribed, or abusing it (once in a while). Personally I love to rail pills...ritalin feels better and kicks in faster when railed but it fucks up your nose, dex seems to be pretty easy on the nose...but I get better effects when I eat them.

I pray for the day when focalin is available in Australia.
 
adderall and dexedrine are more euphoric but the crashes suck ass IME / IMO, and i dont like Ritalin that much but holy balls, Focalin (dexmethylphenidate) is the perfect drug for my body it seems.

So my choice would go to Focalin.

Focalin > Dexedrine > Adderall > Ritalin

obviously not in terms of speediness, as methylphenidate tends to calm/relax me unlike amphetamines which tend to amp me up.
 
I dont get that euphoric feeling that you all talk about from dexamphetamine at all, maybe I'm just not taking enough? I get a better focused "get up and go" feeling from ritalin.

I have tried focalin a couple of times before and I also thought it was amazing.

Like Mo-ez said "different strokes for different folks" we all have different brain chemistry, so why would we all react exactly the same to certain drugs?
 
It is a different euphoric feeling than say an opiate, basicly it just makes you feel good........not really euphoric like other drugs can be such as oxycodone.
 
I think d-methylphenidate is the closest you're going to come to cocaine, and it's a far cry from good coke imo.

Yeah I totally agree here, this is subjective of course but ime most amphetamines tend to cause euphoria just because they make you carefree, more social, and your productivity goes up ten fold. There are exceptions to the euphoria thing for me, for example methamphetamine causes euphoria just from the rush as opposed to d- amphetamine ( my favorite amp ) where i just feel more happy, and productive ( like i can work 10 hours with a smile on my face, then get off work and go off drinking ).
^^ Watch out for this type of thing cause it can really burn your body out using too many amphets, even methylphenidate can do this if you're abusing them( It isn't really an amphetamine but it acts like one. ) ^^


Sry to derail the thread but does anyone know why they liken methylphenidate more to cocaine then to amphetamines, in a pharmalogical sence? They way i understood it was that Methylphenidate binds to the dopamine and norepinephrine receptors and making it so the dopamine still bounces around up there without being re-absorbed. Amphetamines accually cause the prodiction of norepinephrine and dopamine. Am i close to base here guys?

Yes, ritalin and coke inhibit, amphetamines supplement.
 
steelyJ - i'm not sure why Ritalin is closer to C than amphetmaines but i have taken all 3 and Ritalin/Focalin DEFINITELY feels more like C than adderall or dexedrine. has that also been your experience?

also about the euphoric-ness of amphetamines and stimulants, all euphoric feelings are different, euphoria on MDMA is different than on MDE or opiates or cocaine or pot or shrooms, etc.
 
Adderall is good as hell for school i love doing it there. i get so much homework done and i redo a bunch of late assignments. ive only tried ritalin once and it was fucking awful, i felt good for like an hour then had a massive head ache all day.

I like XR adderall it leaves me pretty good all day at school. I used to do 30 mg xr adderall about once a week but now i moved up to 60 mg once a week. but schools almost over and i dont see the point of this during the summer with no homework.

do you guys think doing this once a week for 8 months (school year) is bad on my health? i dont have add btw
