Stimulants Amphetamine Salts + Potassium Gluconate

[Shaman_RN]

I have long battled the side-effects of Amphetamine Salts (Adderall). I can keep an eye on the 'edgy-ness' that it can procure, but the physical cardio-vascular (CV) effects are almost always present. I can feel Palpitations, chest cramping, the occasional arrhythmia on inhalation, and other unsettling feelings throughout my body.

I have recently supplemented some Potassium Gluconate (350mg/daily) and I think I have noticed a decline in the negative CV effects.

Does anyone have any experience combining a Potassium supplement with amphetamines?

Potassium will help some of the cramping issues you may encounter. I highly recommend also taking magnesium coupled with calcium and taking vitamin B12/B6 during the first 2-3 hours of dosing.


Edit: If you still experience bad side effects- try eating an apple. Apples are pretty much the ultimate source of vitamins, minerals and nutrition for amphetamine use. I usually don't believe in natural cures/remedies (A lot of BS hype), but apples really do work.

Cool, thanks for the response. I am also taking a Centrum for Men Multi-Vitamin. The Potassium has definitely helped with the cramping and palpitations.

I'm just worried about a potential adverse effect between the Amp and Potassium. :/

Just out of curiosity I ran a quick 'Interaction-check' between the two and it yielded nil.

No? I take adderall quite often and potassium is usually part of my morning supplements.

I was worried about the potassium dosage being high -- as my MV includes potassium -- and I also take a low-dose of clonazepam with the amphetamine.

I'm prescribed klonopin as well.

You're safe OP

Try lowering your dosage if you get too much anxiety, palpitations, cardiovasculkar wierdness. or switching to dexamphetamine.

350mg of Potassium Gluconate seems like a high dose. The bottle i have has 99mgs (3% daily value) per pill... Is there a reason for this? Like why isn't it 100%? Is too much Potassium Gluconate at once dangerous?

 

[sekio]

Too much potassium at once without sodium/magnesium/calcium to "balance" it can cause cardiac disturbances and stuff, that's probably why.

Fish oil, fish oil, fish oil. Can't stress the use of this stuff enough. When I used to start feeling my heart besting fast or notice I was getting twitchy I would take a handful of omega 3,6,9 multi oil gels. It cured my problems entirely. Since I have been taking it daily and I now suffer no problems if I eat regularly and properly (although I take dexedine). I also supplement chelated magnesium at night time, zinc and coenzyme-10. Sometimes I take a multi vit (but rarely).

Honestly fish oils for me have been a god send for dealing with dexedrine side effects.

When I tried adderall I hated it. The side effects were unbearable an it turned me into a robot. Have you considered switching or testing dexedrine instead?

Interesting, i thought the potassium was more for opiates. I have always preferred bananas to eat when on meth as they seemed the least foul and traumatic to shove down then any other types of food on meth. And i never touch those unnatural yellow alien genitals usually. Perhaps my body knows.
