Dexamphetamine for social confidence?

[ccc333]

I started uni today, and im not that good at introducing myself to people, especially when theyre in groups. I found myself not talking to anyone. I'm not socially awkward, i can talk absolutely fine in conversation, but i lack that confidence to just talk to people randomly. I know this seems like something i should solve mentally, but im wondering if having dex once would help. Its the generic dexamphetamine 5mg pills available in Australia (not adderall, ritalin, concerta or dexedrine).
how many would you recommend? I was thinking 2-4 (10-20 mg). Any help would be appreciated!

It depends totally on your own tolerance. What i'd go for is a dose lower than what you would take recreationally - running around gurning and talking gibberish to every fucker you see is probably just as bad socially as not talking at all

So for me, taking just 5mg would probably be enough. I'd do it in advance though, so it kicks in before you actually go out, so you can tell how you're feeling and maybe top up. Try and avoid taking too much, as of course you can always take more, but you can't un-take the drugs.

5mg? would i even feel anything? Ive taken dex before, never recreationally though. the most ive taken was 20mg, for a test, and i definitely wasnt gurning or talking nonsense to everyone! im not a heavy person, 150lbs, but i cant see 5mg doing anything other than maybe a placebo effect.

i'd say 20-40mg.
go for it.
and you dont gurn from dex
and for wot its wof diggity dog, your pills are the same thing as dexedrine.

Well yeah, totally depends on your own tolerance. If you didn't feel much on 20mg, then try 30ish. I just think it's better in such situations to take too little than too much

You couldn't tell from the times you took it if it could have helped you socially? Everybody is different, so the only way to find out is through experience, and I figured since you took it you would be able to tell. After you took them for the test were you more social?

A lot of people report becoming social on dexedrine and other amphetamines. I am the opposite, and become a 'shut-in' on dexedrine, which works great for using it for school/work projects, but not for socializing.

I would give it some time before you make the decision. Today was your first day of Uni, it's not like you are 2 months in and haven't made any friends. It usually takes a few weeks before everybody gets comfortable around each other.

If you are doing it purely for that reason why do you need to "feel it" per say. At 5mg it will still be having an effect and should elevate your confidence. Even if as you say it is a placebo, it may well be enough to help you talk to people

You don't want to get into an unnecessary amphetamine habit for this reason, try no more than 5mg to start with.
