My mate recently scored some dexamphetamine pills, can anyone help me out with a dosage that will get us goin' for a few hours at a party.
However, maybe taking enough adderall to match the dose of d-amphetamine as that in a dexedrine dose (say 60mg adderall to 30mg dexedrine) would produce a much nicer high because of the EXTRA l-amphetamine.
Sigh...Straight from the product insert for Adderall. Each tablet contains d-amphetamine and l-amphetamine salts in the ratio of 3:1. That means 75% d-amp and 25% l-amp. So try 45mg of dexedrine (instant release) if you want to make a comparison.
l-amphetamine does have some dopaminergic effects (unlike l-methamphetamine, aka Vicks Inhaler, which has no significant DA effect) but as confirmed by experiments, it is less potent than d-amphetamine and elicits less of a behavioral response at similar doses. Also, l-amp's most prominent effects are cardiovascular while d-amp has more prominent CNS effects. So l-amphetamine probably has some effect even by itself but you can't really say much more than that unless you have taken it in its pure form.
I agree that Adderall does last longer than Dexedrine; its much better for treating my ADHD while Dexedrine gives me harsh rebound effects during the day. In adults, the half-life of l-amp is 13 hours and d-amp is 10 hours (also from Adderall Insert) Why this translates to longer effects overall is unknown but (aside from different half-lives) its POSSIBLE that people respond preferentially to different isomers and the aspartate and saccharate salts aren't metabolized as quickly as their sulfate counterparts. But even though Adderall's therapeutic effects lasts longer than Dex, the buzz sure as hell doesn't. Either way, 4-6 hours of fun at most. But when I want a buzz, I break out the Dexedrine. Again, it really boils down to personal preference. There aren't any studies yet where people are given the Pepsi challenge to decide between the two.
