Hi.
I've been prescribed adderall XR for about 4 months. I started at 15mg, then got prescribed 20mg. I usually just take one or two pills a day for my ADHD... But usually once a month I take a lot to try and get the "rush" and the euphoria I hear about from friends and read about online. I tried multiple times to get recreational effects. Im starting to wonder if maybe im expecting too much? I don't know... I just can't seem to get high. For example, today was my once a month thing... I took 5 capsules. That's 100mg. Kinda a lot I think.. I feel a nice tingle occasionally in random places for a few seconds, I talk a super lot and fast so im really social, I can't sit still, I tap my fingers or my toes, in a good happy mood. Good focus. Can't stop jaw moving/ clenching.. but that's about it. I don't mind all this,it's pretty enjoyable and I have a good time.. its just I don't feel like Im high or anything really.. 100mg was the highest I've went at once so far. I have a few different questions I guess..

I just wanna know ... am I expecting too much out of it? Are these the effects I should be having or should there be more effects or more intense?

Maybe I built myself a tolerance?

Ive tried crushing up the xr beads and drinking the powder in water.. I crushed up the beads once and snorted some after popping 2 capsules... i also had a few drinks and smoked a bowl... but after all that I got a cold for the next few days... so I haven't snorted it since then.. but maybe im not taking enough or not taking it the most effective way? And does anyone know why I could have got sick after that?

If I haven't reached the full effects, should I keep trying for a bigger dose? How many mg and what effects should I experience?

If you felt the full on effects of adderall, what was it like? How much did you take?

Im not experienced with amphetimines really.. I smoked plenty of weed. Took a lot of rolls in the past. Took a.little acid, did some shrooms. But nothing like meth or tweak or coke or anything.. so I don't know.

Sorry for such a long ass post. Thank you all for reading and replying in advance.
 
Best thing to do To catch a decent buzz would be to take a few days off of them, though be prepared to crash. I actually found that crush the XR beads didn't really add to the adderall XR experience. For a naive user 20mg XR should get you nice and stimulated. Luckily amphetamine tolerance drops quickly in my experience, and if you take a few days off like I suggest, I guaranteed you'll feel it a lot more.

But amphetamine is kind of a subtle stimulant IMO. Its not going to make you high like MDMA, or mushrooms obviously. It makes you feel very stimulated, motivated, and sociable, or at least that's how it effects me. I find the high really pleasant because it's not super intense, but I can imagine some people would find it underwhelming.
 
Taking a little tolerance break would do you a lot of good, but in my opinion I think you were right on the money when you suggested you might be expecting too much out of it.

Hi,
I also take Adderall Xr for ADHD like symptoms. In fact, I just started taking it and at 10mg a day. If I decide to take MDMA or 6/5-APB for that matter, since these phenethalamines are amphetamine derivatives, should I lay off Adderall for a few days before a trip to have a full effect? What confuses me is that speed is frequently added to MDMA in pressed pills. Since I am asking this questions, do amphetimines interfere with tryptamines - 4-aco-dmt, 5-meo-mipt and LSD? Thanks.
 
You're expecting too much. The adderall "high" isn't really a high per se. It's a very clear-headed, stimulated, and slightly euphoric (more of a good mood) feeling. Also, 100mgs is a lot and you won't get anything more out of it. Orally is the best way to take it
 
I was started on adderal XR 20mg and the next doctors visit I had I had them prescribe me 40mg IRs instead. Heres a tip switch from the expensive adderal XRs to the generic Aderal IRs. When I swiched to two instant release 15 mg adderal a day instead of one 30 mg extended release I noticed the onset and strength of the medication really came out. I agree with Znegative, the way I got that rush of euphoria back was to just take the pills at different times in the day. I would only take half my dose on days where it wasnt necessary for me to concentrate, save my left over dose then take it with the next mornings dose. Try taking it on an empty stomach. When you snort it make sure its ground down extremely fine. Take a deep breath, blow it all they way out, then try to snort the line only using your lungs then hold it in like your taking a rip of weed. Iv used that method when snorting addys and Iv straight blacked out its so strong.
 
The effects are so subjective to your consistency of use, it is not even funny.

Upping your dose means more side effects. More side effects mean the experience will slowly go from: fun to neutral to horrifying in my point of view.

My Opinion:

Take it as prescribed.
or
Wait 1-3 weeks and take 40mg in one sitting with no redose.

Your best ROA would have to be plugging(A liquid solution of the XR powder. 97-100% Bio availability. Almost instant.)


If you are not okay with that:

Take an antacid. (TUMS, baking soda)
Crush the beads and load them into a gel cap.
Eat it.
 
i thought that people who have legitimate ADD/ADHD cannot get high on amphetamine type drugs


this is a common misconception. i have ADHD and take 40mg of dex daily to control it - i do not experience a high from this dose while people without ADHD would.

if i take 100mg of d-amph then i certainly feel full blown recreational effects from it.

i have been taking 40mg since i started my course of d-amph for the past 9 months. I have not increased my doseage at all, and haven't experienced tolerance issues either.
