It use to be the end of the world, now around the 4 hour mark i just drift into a delerious semi-awake cat nap where i have closed eyed visuals and get extremely aroused. after about 20 minutes in this state i open my eyes and feel somewhat neutral but i dont get anxiety or sad feelings. It feels like the robot feeling has been lifted from my imagination.

Anyone else notice that the comedown becomes more of a return to normallicy? Anyone else have a delerious nap for a short amount of time then wake up feeling alert?

Although if i have to hear anyone elses voice I want to rip their head off. Only if im alone do i mind the comedown. Its a buzz in itself IMO.
 
I noticed that after taking adderall for a while the comedown goes away. after 2-3 days later the comedown goes away and i feel a bit of an afterglow actually.
 
Compared to many other amphetamine-type ADHD meds (Dexedrine, Desoxyn), Adderall has the worst comedown of them all.

I've been on Dexedrine for years now, the comedown varies on how long I've been up using, how much, and how often. If I were to go on a 4-5 day binge on dex right now, the comedown will be hell.

But nothing and I mean NOTHING beats a Ritalin comedown. Holy shit man. I told the doctor that and was switched to Dexedrine (this was a long time ago).
 
ive noticed this with ritalin. the tolerance to the comedown built up way before the tolerance to the rush.
 
Adderall comedowns are rather easy for me to deal with because I've been taking it for years and have gotten used to it. And I know that the following day I will be dosing again which prevents anything difficult from happening. There is an exception. When I've been up for 2-3 days, dosing large amounts every few hours the comedown becomes very harsh. I get delirious, feel really stupid & get really moody. Any other emotion is void & I'll get to the point where I feel like a robot. Like I'm brain dead. Its hard to get to sleep even though I'm feeling real tired but I don't get depressed like some people say they do. But like I said, only if I've been up a few days straight.
 
hmm sounds like ive had the opposite experience from you guys.. i've been on adderall for 2.5 years now and just recently the comedowns have been making me avoid taking it all together (migraines, shivers, manic behavior, emotional wreck) . Although i think this may be a interaction with the cymbalta i was recently prescribed.
 
Adderall/Speed comedowns can vary a lot for me. Sometimes they are actually enjoyable, other times I just feel like a robot on auto pilot. I just want to pass out, but I can't do it due to leftover stimulation. I've never really abused speed tho.
 
well never tried adderall but ive noticed after months of using vyvanse about once a week or two the comedowns have gotten somewhat better. i still get the robot feeling. not wanting to talk, bored of everything, irratable, ect. use to get horrbile anxiety until i started taking klonopin for the comedowns. but these feelings are more minor. unless i take alot and stay up for more than a day. im just getting my more "happy" emotion back after taking hundreds of mgs over the weekend =/
 
I feel different on an Adderall comedown, and I wouldn't say in a good way. My eyes get heavy, my mind refuses to think about anything, and yet going to sleep is the most troublesome task in the world. It's frustrating to say the least.

I also have very strange sleeping patterns the day I take Adderall (even if it's first thing in the morning). It takes a while to fall asleep, but I'll pass out eventually. Then I wake up at 3-4 AM (4-5 hours later) and I'm wide awake.

It's definitely a hassle, and without some benzos to aid in sleep, I try to avoid Adderall, especially past 3 PM.
 
Depends how much you take. Last time i took addy i took about 120mg IR the first night then 60mg the next day. I ended up sitting outside by myself thinkin everyone i was stayin wit was out to fuck me over. It was also a big eye opener. I need to quit stims. Ever since high school they have got me by the balls
