Adderall XR30

[SPC123]

I have procured a couple of these and am wondering if someone can give me a bit of a run down. I have never used a stimulant before (I hardly even touch caffeine, only what I get from the odd can of Pepsi, I never drink coffee). Oh, one time I took 4 Ritalin 10mg IR pills orally, and never got anything out of them.

What is the usual beginning dose? And I would prefer to hear about the high end of the scale. I know from personal experience if I had erred on the side of caution and only took 10-15mg oxycodone the first time, I would have wasted 10-15mg oxycodone.

Is defeating the time release on these as simple as crushing them? Given that I have 2 30mg pills, and it's my first time, should I bother crushing it or just take 1 pill and let the time release extend the trip? I also wouldn't be averse to taking both of them and letting the time release do it's thing.

I will only take them orally. No snorting or plugging, and DEFINITELY no slamming. I will only swallow them, be it as a pill or a powder.

Thanks!

Your best method of ingestion will be to open the capsule, empty the beads out, crush them into a decent powder, and bomb them in whatever manner you please (toilet paper, rolling paper, etc). This will make it somewhere in-between Adderall IR and Adderall XR in my experience.

As far as dosing, that depends on how sensitive you are to stimulants (caffeine included). As a very infrequent user myself, I find 20mg+ of Adderall to satisfy my "high" need - I hate the feeling of it before I get to that point though; feels like too much coffee.. very jittery and dysphoric.

I would say start with half, and re-dose if needed. 30mg isn't going to get you TOO stimmed up, but will definitely be doing its thing.

Good luck!

^ I echo what he says about how to take it.

As for the dose, 30mg should be nice. I take 20mg when my tolerance is down, and then usually 30mg the following day. 60mg would be too much IMO. I accidentally took that as my first dose when I was about 18 because my friend thought the 20s he had were 10s, and told me to take all 3. I stayed up all night writing a paper, the sun came up and I headed to school, and then I didn't fall asleep until 4am the next morning. They were instant release and kept me up that long, so I'm sure you would be awake a similar amount of time with a IR/ER kind of mix. 1 pill would will make you feel nice and keep you up all night into the next day. 2 pills will make you maybe too high, and might keep you up 2 days.

Harm reduction info:
Combining it with MAOI antidepressants is dangerous, so if you are taking them then don't take the adderall. Are you taking any other medications? Also, combining it with alcohol is not a good idea for several reasons, and since both of them dehydrate you the hangover of this combo is pretty brutal. It also sucks laying in bed at 6am not able to fall asleep at all while your heart is pounding, your are still drunk, and the sun is coming up.

Stay hydrated and make sure to eat. Amphetamines (such as those found in adderall) will make you dehydrated, so it's important to drink plenty of water. It will probably cause frequent urination, but it's better than the aweful headache from no sleep and dehydration.

Force yourself to eat something. Adderall is an appetite suppressant. Food is going to be the last thing on your mind, so I suggest eating before you take the adderall, and then having some snacks for the high. I find carbohydrates to be pretty hard to eat on amps, so I usually go for things like sweets or yogurt.

You will likely experience Bruxism (teeth grinding) and jaw clenching. Try to relax your jaw and make a conscious effort to try to stop doing this if you don't want your teeth to hurt for the next few days. It's not the worst thing in the world, but I thought I would mention it.

Take vitamins the next day to help you recover faster.

Awesome guys, thanks for the replies. I have taken your advice and parachuted one 30. I'll post a follow up here tonight and let you guys know how it went.

Thanks again!

Well, it's been almost 2 hours since I took the Addreall. Pulse it at 72 - 80 bpm, which is normal for me. I laying back surfing the internet and I feel absolutely no motivation to do anything else. There is a nice, subtle euphoric buzz going on. It's better than the Ritalin was, but it's hardly "stimulating". Makes me wonder if I don't have ADD/ADHD. From what I understand stims are supposed to be more calming when taken at therapeutic doses by people with a legitimate need...
