Stimulants best combo for staying alert yet reducing harm to my body?

[zombiesarepeaceful]

Due to my work schedule & todays events...I've been up 1 day & I have 17 hrs before I can sleep again. Not much for some, but I'm the type who starts falling asleep on their feet after 24 hrs awake.

I'm prescribed adderall 10mgs. I have propanol 10mgs to prevent my bp from getting too high cuz it tends to be naturally high, and I plan on mixing these with caffeine to get the most out of the adderall & fill in the gaps when it wears off. For 12 hrs I have to stand & do heavy lifting & factory work, so I need to be alert.

Question is, in your opinion what would be the best combo/dosing schedule to make sure I stay alert at work? I'm not concerned about the crash afterwards...just staying awake. For reference...adderall lasts about 3 hrs for me & I have a slight tolerance. Thanks.

i don't have an answer to your question about dosing. i just wanted to point out that Propranolol is a beta-blocker. beta-blockers are a poor choice to treat stimulant related hypertension. it's likely to increase one's hypertension when used as such. an alpha-blocker (Phentolamine) or vasodilator (Nitroglycerin) are what you want.

I hardly think he will gain possession of nitroglycerin. heh.

Amphetamines are hard on the body, and since you stated you have a tolerance to them, there really is not a whole lot you can do other than keep your dosing low.

I use Advanced Caffeine. I like it.

I'm aware that propanol is a beta blocker. I ended up staying up (forcefully) for 60 hrs w/ 9 hrs sleep...with the moderate use of adderall...to no negative effects. I've heard mixed views on mixing beta blockers and amphetamines, but literally 2.5mg of a propanol is enough to have an effect on me, I'm sensitive to them.
