Well this may further fuel debate on why drugs can vary so much when they should be the same based on analysis or in this case a pharmaceutical which should be at least close to its original formulation.
I’ve been occasionally taking generic adderall for years. When I was a kid we had access to brand name and I was too fucked up on so many other drugs at the time I didn’t really see the differences.
Right after high school generics took over and I haven’t had a brand name since then. I usually take the orange capsules with the “mixed amphetamine salts” on the side. In the beginning 5mg would work but over the years 10mg was what I needed usually.
I use amp about 4-8 times a year probably so my tolerance doesn’t really go up. The effects off 10mg of the generic would last 2-3 hours and didn’t have a huge push.
Well I recently saw my brother and he tossed me two capsules of what I thought was still the old generics. I took them both over a few sessions and then commented to him the following...
“Man it’s like my tolerance lowered or something, those shows we went to i was still flying long after the music stopped when usually I’m down before it ends. I also felt like it was about 2x as strong.”
He was like..
“Yea it’s cuz they’re actually the brand name, I only need like half as much with these too.”
This doesn’t shock me too much. I’m very sensitive and aware to drugs and experiences after so many “bioassays” or unique drugs over the years, plus I’ve always had a keen sense of self.
I’ve felt this same phenomenon with brand name Suboxone vs generic but those times weren’t an unintentional blind test.
This issue between generic vs brand name Amphetamine seems to parallel the debate about MDMA, and my impression is that generic adderall is like the “mehdma” spoken of there.
Whatever the case I’m all about the brand name Adderall now. Took 2.5mg the other day after days of traveling scarfing down caffeine, Maca, adderall and cocaine to stay awake, and it somehow had me so jacked still I was able to be super man all day despite what shoulda been a decent tolerance building up. 2.5mg of generic would be a tease.
It’s like I’m trying amphetamine for the first time again... And I think I like it a little too much lol.
