So I took 30mg of amphetamine in the form of adderall this morning about an hour and a half ago. All I can say is that I absolutely love this drug, even at a lowish dose like this. It doesn't make me feel doped-up or stoned or anything; it just feels like I'm in a naturally *excellent* mood, and my thoughts are flowing with an insane degree of clarity and speed.

Pot makes my thoughts move slow and rambling like a river of molasses. It doesn't make me stupid exactly, but it causes some weird thought-trains and problems with concentration. I can come up with great ideas stoned, and the high is very creative, but it's not quite what I'd call a "cognitive enhancer". Amphetamine on the other hand . . . it feels like when I'm sober I have heavy weights on my mind holding me back and getting me confused. Amphetamine obliterates these weights. I feel completely free, both in my body (a distinctive light-weight "floating" feeling not unlike a low fever) and mind.

I woke up this morning with some bad heartburn, which I normally fix with baking soda, but I wanted amphetamine to be the only thing in my stomach so I ate that. Oddly enough the pill seemed to have the same effect as baking soda, giving me burps with a particular taste and relieving the acid reflux, which comes I assume from amphetamine's chemically basic pH.

I got first alerts at 45 minutes, and was hit with about three "waves" which I'd say are closest to the wave you get from the first puff of a cigarette. Just a hard to describe, subtle yet overwhelming feeling of the drug kicking in. It took until t+1:15 for the drug to really begin working, and now I'm climbing up at a wonderful pace.

I don't feel tweaked out, and for this reason I actually prefer sub-50mg doses of this drug. Above that and it begins to make me more intoxicated, which isn't what I look for in a stimulant. Right now find myself pacing around the room, bobbing my leg up and down, and just in general acting stimulated, but I don't feel super-speedy. This is actually less intoxicating than a strong (600mg for me) dose of caffeine. Caffeine makes my thoughts kind of confused at high doses, but this amphetamine high is climbing and climbing and I only feel better and better.

I've tried opiates and cocaine (both within the past week), and of these three mighty members of the "hard drug" pantheon amphetamine is the only one I believe I could become addicted to. Opiates feel incredible, don't get me wrong, and the euphoria is incomparable to anything else, but they at the same time make me feel kind of depressed and guilty, especially when I come down. In other words, they make me feel like a junky. Cocaine feels quite similar to an amphetamine high only with more of a "push" towards physical activity, but it's over in twenty goddamn minutes. I don't understand the appeal. This drug on the other hand I could easily see myself doing every day, so I have to watch my usage (right now I've made a vow to never take it more than once a week and that's been working so far, I never crave it, and also to never fool around with meth).

Basically I could see using opiates as a way to escape from a bad life, but my life is very good right now. I have the best job I could possible hope for, I have one wonderful friend who I can share anything with, and I can't see this situation changing much until I die. Amphetamines don't make me escape, they make it even better. And I can get things done while I'm on them, much better than sober if anything! Writing on speed can be a fun exercise but I tend to write way too much and bounce around from topic to topic; it's a lot better for having discussions, as long as you can keep your mouth from running a mile a minute. The best thing speed helps with though, the reason god put this damned drug on this earth if there is one, has to be math. Math is incredible while I'm on this stuff, as if it isn't incredible enough sober.

Well this has already turned into a big amphetamine-induced rant so I'm gonna shut-up now. Oh *and* it's my birthday. I didn't realize that until taking the pills (hehe you know you're a stoner when you can't remember your own birthday . . .), and this is the perfect way to celebrate :D

Keed spills!

that reminds me of my time with amphetamine. sadly it doesn't work for me anymore. i get that euphoric feeling only for about 30 mins no matter how much or often i redose. also the comedown has become horrible when it was barely noticable before.

have fun with speed. enjoy it while it lasts!

Thanks; yeah I'm worried about tolerance. I wouldn't want to do the drug if I became tolerant to it, since it seems like many of the good effects go away and you just feel stimulated with no euphoria. I'm thinking of taking a daily magnesium supplement to help with this, as per/ the advice found in a few threads in ADD, but I don't know if this only really applies for daily usage as a method to prevent "basic" tolerance, i.e. needing more of the drug to gain the effect, or if it can prevent the "psychological" tolerance, i.e. decrease in perceived effects.

FWIW the first time was better than any further experiments. The euphoria was intense enough to be comparable to mdma, though of a different character; now I get a more mundane, though still mighty pleasant mind you, feeling of "well-being".
 
At once per week 30 mgs you will build a tolerance. Once a month and you are fine. It seems regular amphetamine is not overly neurotoxic but when it comes to my brain once a week is not worth the risk, your mileage may vary. Magnesium is a great idea, as is fish oil and alpha lipoic acid (most important IMO). the Mag and fish oil are dirt cheap and available at the grocery store. Order some r isomer ALA and despite the expense you will be pleased with the result. Also highly effective at reducing alcohol hangover.

And for the record if you had eaten the baking soda the amphetamine would have been potentiated. Ditto with tums, so think of this when trying to save cash/stash.
 
amphetamine completely destroys my balance and equilibrium. It wasn't like this at first years ago. Now when I take it even in reasonable doses I am a mess on the comedown and for a day or so after.
 
Ya I've got 270mg of Dexedrine here. I've got a good month coming up for summatives and exams. I'll probably go over my usual 20-30mg dose, try 4 or 5 of them and see how that goes too because I've never done more than 35mg of Adderall.
 
Time to conclude the report; the peak wore off very abruptly at t+4h, and I mean *very* abruptly. I went into the bathroom to take a piss feeling like a kite, and by the time I left I was like "hey why doesn't it feel like I'm floating anymore?"

After this I still had some very mild stimulation, but was definitely not high, and at t+5h I experienced the comedown. It was actually the first time I've really experienced one; last week I did twice this amount and the effects just gradually went away.

The crash wasn't pleasant at all, and this was at a whimpy little dose. I can't imagine the comedown from a two-day binge, let alone a week like some of you crazy bastards are known to do :P Basically I felt depressed, sweaty, anxious, nauseous, and just generally uncomfortable (plus a psychological yearning to be high again . . . better keep my eye on that) for about half-an-hour and then it was back to baseline.

Edit: One more small note; amphetamine causes reverse time-dilation for me, which is an effect I've never gotten from any other drug. I've noticed it every other time I've done it. I'll be making a big playlist and dicking around online for what feels like literally ten minutes, and I look at the clock and realize it's been 45 minutes or even a full hour. Amphetamine's duration is traditionally cited at 6-8 hrs, which sounds absolutely perfect for a drug of its character, not too long not too short, but it ends up feeling like you're only high for a couple of hours.

If you start crashing that is a sign that the honeymoon is over. Take a long break or be prepared for intensified crashes from most any dose. And remember, its just a crash, it will be over soon enough, no need to take anything to get over it. Drugs do not solve drug problems. One notable but not so healthy exception is a few drinks toward the comedown which is usually a nice synergy and can help sleep come more easily at the price of your health.
 
If you had taken the baking soda, you would probably have been higher and for longer, it potentiates amphetamines

It increases its bioavailability by somehow allowing more to be absorbed in your stomach than normal, so in other words more reaches the brain.

Google is your friend =D

"stupidstupidstupidstupidstupidstupidstupidstupidstupidstupidstupid..."
I thought to myself, gaping, when the insight hit me.

=D

I knew that trick. I sat looking on your and mine posts for a short while just now, and couldn't really find out what I was really asking earlier, what deficit had hit me, or how bread loafs may fly, boggled and wondrous.

Then I remembered, 'ah! sleep deprivation makes thoughts not happen', and it all became very clear to me what handicap I didn't really suffer from. It feels good, that I actually does not need to follow up this sudden amnesia from some hours ago by googling, since now my cerebral apparatus seems to run smoother and less tweaky.
 
I lead a pretty healthy lifestyle other than my love-hate relationship with low doses of amphetamine. I find I have to take a break of at least a month, even better 2 or 3, before I can find it euphoric in the same way I used to. Using DXM, Mg, or caffeine to potentiate it works for the stimulation, the 'jacked' feeling, but not the euphoria, which becomes hit or miss after a while with frequent use.

I recommend not only alpha lipoic acid, but also lecithin, and if you have access to them, stronger nootropics. They undo a lot of the damage amphetamine use does.

undo, or prevent?
 
For real it's only the first few times. That's why I only did adderal a few times and speed once! When I snorted speed I had an amazing high for 12+hours god when's this going to end.

Today I'm in a bookstore. A guys tweeked out of his mind. Opens a $2000 stash box with loads of $100 bills in it. Has a huge pill bottle which looked to be either oc 40's or 1mg green klonopins like I have. Anyways this stuff makes people crazy after awhile. Even the rich ones! It can take anyone down.

But I never had a problem with uppers. I just used them occasionaly. Accidents happen pain comes. Opiates, instant gratification!!

Good opiates are definently what everyone should watch out for if you like trying things. If I never had pain I would of never become addicted I know that. But the pain is what turned me into somone who needed them. And who knows if I will ever know where to go. But I dont know when to know what I will knowingly know.


Yeah have fun while it last.

I've noticed that. Amphetamine, near the end of the trip, will often result in my flying high for 3 minutes, then the next 3 feeling anxious as fuck, and this will circulate for a while. Amphetamine is a very evil drug. I will always want to take it, but I always know that its damaging my brain, and that the comedown fucking sucks. :( I have used d-amphetamine a good 30 times spaced apart (at least). And personally I can say that it still works for the purpose that I use it (studying, going out) until today, as long as I space out the doses. One thing that is for sure that is if you use it one day, then again the next, it has virtually 10% of the effect, due to the depletion of dopamine stores from the presynaptic bulb I assume. Have fun.
 
Yeah, I'm quite experienced with MDMA and the first time I took D-Amphetamine (30mg then 10mg not long later), I had a blast. It was better than I thought it would be, and actually managed to give me decent Euphoria comparable to MDMA (Although in a completely different way) Which I didn't expect from just amphetamine. I'm not sure if this would continue if I used it.

I also felt the comedown a little as well. I mean one minute I was a happy camper, then I literaly turn around and it stops. Its almost like being in a busy crowded area having fun and blinking, then you are in the middle of a desert by yourself. haha weird analogy but that's what it felt like.
You still have residual stimulation though (teeth grinding, fidgetation of hands etc) and it is very annoying. it's the side effect you don't want but still goes on way after the high has ended :! :D
 
^^^ Yeah, the crash is a bitch. It's what makes this drug so damn dangerous. Amphetamine is like a really gorgeous girl who teases you so far as letting you put your hands under her clothes for an hour. And then walks off without a word or explanation. Only to do the exact same thing the next time you run into her.

There's a whole lot of 'OK, this is the time it's going to have a happy ending. I can just FEEL it!' that often turns into profound disappointment hours later.
 
Yeah loooove amphetamine :).

After almost a year being off it (used to take adderall/dexedrine prescribed 60mg/day for years) the full euphoria and all that is back when i take it now - and yeah, when it starts to come down there's a huge urge to redose but if i just manage to wait a few more hours i'll feel normal again and won't have such the urge (especially not having a bottle of pills to eat around / limited amounts)

wow, that statement sums up stimulant (ab)use perfectly for me. but, those first few hours of euphoria are pretty freakin tempting, it can be hard not to just throw caution to the wind.
