This trip report has a low dose and many variables. It will most likely not be a reliable or relevant reference for many people. Wanted to share anyway.

Main substance used was Adderall XR 15mg, blue and white gel capsule filled with white/pink granules.

Other substances used include:
-dextromethorphan/guaifenesin (generic cough syrup)
-acetaminophen,aspirin, caffeine (generic aleve)
-marijuana
-alcohol

I am pretty big guy, 6'4", ~215lbs. I am in my early 20's and in good shape. I have never been on any prescription drug. I am a regular marijuana user and have tried several other drugs. I have had no experience with amphetamine, except for one time when I rolled on what I believe was mainly speed.

I acquired some Adderall because I was curious of its effects and was looking for a potential study booster for my math class (I hate math).

Two days ago I began to come down with some sort of bug (loss of appetite, sore throat, nagging cough, lethargy). Yesterday the bug persisted, but I had to go into work to get some things done. I decided to try a single 15mg capsule at 9:00 in the morning to both test the base effects of the substance and hopefully to help boost through the day. I noticed pleasant effects: I felt calm, I had a positive attitude, I had a barely noticeable increase in concentration and thinking (so faint it may have been placebo). That night I had trouble sleeping, but was not certain if it was caused by the adderall or by my nagging dry cough.

I slept poorly last night and this morning I was up extremely early and couldn't get back to sleep. The previous day's adderall, my nagging cough / stuffy nose, and my girlfriend's tossing and turning were all factors. I had plans to study math with a friend at 2:00pm so I decided to try Adderall for a second experiment. Launch time was 12:00pm.

t-01:00: 4tsp cough syrup

t-00:30: 2.5 antacid tablets + 1 aleve

t-00:00: 30mg adderall XR

t+00:30: 2 more antacid tablets

t+00:37: My body temperature was 99.6 deg F. I have been looking for a high temperature (fever) the previous couple days while trying to diagnose the bug and had not found it until now.

t+00:45: I ate a cup of ramen noodles for energy and started noticing slight hand shakes.

t+01:00: First batch of diarrhea hit me, but not really noteworthy yet. Just normal diarrhea, not painful. I noticed that I was really sweating a lot.

t+01:15 I left home and headed to school. Driving was easy and enjoyable (more details about driving later).

t+01:45 Nasty diarrhea hits me. It was the consistency of water, felt like a large volume, and was translucent neon green in color. It felt like I was pissing out of my ass. Shitting was not painful, just strange and a bit unsettling. I've taken many a strange shit, but this had to be the strangest of them all.

t+02:20: More of the same nastiness. Started to worry a bit, but adderall makes worrying very difficult :)

t+02:30: My friend showed up and we began studying. I was more calm, attentive, patient, and logical with math than I normally am. I noticed a light head and body buzz, but not distracting or weird feeling. After the study session I attended two classes. I participated in both classes confidently. I spent a few minutes before my second class cramming for a quiz, then aced it. I would have done well on the quiz without the adderall, but it definitely didn't hurt.I felt mostly normal but just more content. About halfway through the first class I started getting VERY hungry.

t+09:30: I chatted with a friend for a few minutes then walked to my car to drive home. Driving felt pretty much normal, but I was more focused and had less of a desire to speed. I was more concerned with operating safely.

t+10:00: I ran into a friend as I was pulling into my neighborhood. He stopped by my pad to chillax for a while. He immediately commented that I seemed "amped up" but I had already informed him earlier in the day of my experiment.

t+10:30: I ate a bowl of soup.

t+10:45: 4tsp cough syrup, several bong rips of my regs, started sipping on lightly mixed vodka drink

I needed the cough syrup as my nagging cough had returned. I hoped the weed and alcohol would help to bring me down so that I could get to sleep easily. My face got numb very quickly, something I typically don't experience with only cannabis and/or alcohol. My body felt similar to a normal cannabis high, but my mind felt very different. The effects of the adderall were definitely pronounced by the addition of dextromethorphan/marijuana/alcohol. I still felt very sharp mentally but much more numb/disconnected. I was still very talkative and quick with my friend. A very very pleasant feeling. I was not the slightest bit tired.

t+12:30: Tried to go to bed....

t+16:00: Still up, writing this. I feel loopy, sleep-deprived, yet very focused and content. I have a strong urge to dose again in the morning but I'm not going to give in. My experiment has been conducted and I will be saving the remaining capsules for a future date.
 
Sounds like adderall works for you, but with side effects. If the loopiness and insomnia is bothering you, you might want to consider wellbutrin--a dopamine (and norepinephrine) reuptake inhibitor. Studies show its good for ADD symptoms like antsyness, boredom, distractability, etc.

I messed with adderall for years... loved the effects, hated the crash. It also made me a little too "not myself," where I'd come down and cringe at the things I had said and plans I had made. I now take 300mg wellbutrin a day and it's perfect. The same concentration / motivation of adderall, but you don't crash, and you don't have roller-coaster effects. You take it every day, you are yourself, but more driven and calm.

Either way, not a shit report at all dude. I enjoyed it.
