I figured I'd write a trip report about dexedrine, since I'm using it to write a paper for school and I'm still procrastinating!

Before dex my only amphetamine experience was ritalin (not a real amphetamine) and adderall (only part amphetamine)... maybe some meth in e-pills but that's not even worth mentioning probably. Dexedrine is pure amphetamine and it feels much cleaner than the other two.

Adderall always made me really shaky and somewhat anxious even at the peak. It feels "jumpy", but at the peak dex feels very smooth.

First, I take one pill on a full stomach. It takes forever to come on because I ate heavy pasta! I take another one before it fully kicks in.

When I come up I don't feel "high" in the usual sense. I start to feel more awake, and my thoughts begin to change slightly. I feel motivated to get work done, especially when it involves writing or physical cleaning work.

At the peak it feels very smooth. It's like being completely awake on a million cups of coffee, but with no jitters, nervousness, or stomach upset. The air looks clearer and thoughts become very positive. It's not a "lovey" kind of drug like MDMA - the positive thoughts are more like motivational speaking, with a "can do" attitude towards solving problems and getting tedious tasks done.

On dexedrine I can take a big step back from my life, and see the whole picture instead of just tiny little pieces. I feel like I can plan out everything in my life and make all the pieces fit together just right. All the problems that were crushing and overwhelming suddenly seem easy to solve. I feel so confident in myself!

Socially, I feel that it's actually worth it to talk to people about my ideas and also things that I usually find too tiresome to explain. I'm already an articulate person, but on dex I feel more articulate than usual - like I am extremely sharp, almost a genius (but not in a manic, delusional kind of way).

The only thing that's kind of weird about it is that I think I get hallucinations. In fact, I saw one of the "shadow people" right when writing this report. It's a little strange to me, though, because when I'm on dex I don't feel any paranoia or anxiety, and I thought that those feelings would be prevalent if I am seeing things that aren't there. But, I am simply alert.

I use dexedrine and other ADD meds about once a month to study and get tasks done that I usually can't concentrate on (I have ADD but am not prescribed anything for it). Since I haven't taken enough of a dexedrine dose to get high on, the body high is very minimal. Generally I have to take a shit (lol) and pee a lot, my stomach tightens up a slight bit, and my feet feel very cold while the rest of me feels a little warmer. I don't get the jaw-grinding effect until six or seven hours into it, but I do get some tightness in the jaw at first. My body definitely feels lighter and easier to move around, probably because I'm not tired!

The comedown is not quite as rough as adderall, but it's still bad. I start to feel my heart beating hard, I get a sinking feeling, and my thoughts become more negative and agitated. If I let it go on too long, then I feel like I and everything else is falling to pieces and that the whole universe is just wrong. I'm prescribed seroquel so I can go to sleep soon afterwards, so that's why I've started up on doing amphetamines again, but even with seroquel the comedown is brutal and I'm not tempted to do this stuff too often!

I gotta say that I'm almost tempted to get prescribed dexedrine, but I realize that if I did I would probably abuse them to get me motivated every day. I feel that amphetamines are best used once a month or so just to get extremely tedious and frustrating tasks out of the way (such as writing research papers). Unfortunately, it seems that more and more I depend on them to do just that - the more I use dex, the less I'm able to do those tedious tasks sober... and that's just from once a month use!

i know exactly where u are coming from...but it goes downhill trust me. The first times are always so amazing but the dream doesnt last
 
Its a self controll issue, tons of people use once to a few times a month and maintain for many years. I personally never get bad comedowns, the only negative effects I feel is a burning in my lungs from all the cigs I smoke when high. But if you feel like a script would lead to abuse you are likely right so stay away from too cheap and easy of a source.
 
I agree with everything you guys have posted...Whenever I have a re-fill of the 20's around, 25 of them are usually taken the first week to make tedious tasks and life in general more enjoyable...Also, helps the lethargic feeling from the high dose benzos I've been on...

It's goes downhill fast if you have a script...After I'm done with my week long binge, I never want to do it again.....
 
Yeah it's been a day and a half and my throat is hella sore from all those cigs I smoked! Sleep deprivation in general makes me smoke more too.

No I won't really get a script for dex. I would also probably take too many to get tedious things out of the way. Amphetamines aren't my drug of choice but I do like how smart and motivated I feel on them - until I come down, that is. Opiates are my real love and part of that is because I don't get a comedown from them at all.

I feel so extremely weak and tired today that I don't think I'll do any more for months. Like, at times I can't even lift my head. If this is common I wonder how other people who do amphetamines all the time cope with the day after?
