I'm prescribed Dexedrine IR. I'm really curious. How does Dexedrine IR compare to cocaine and methamphetamine?

Thanks for your time!
 
I wouldn't compare it to cocaine, they're both stimulants but have different mechanisms of action. Cocaine is short lived (30-60 minute) experience. Dexedrine lasts 3-6 hours.

Dexedrine and methamphetamine are approx. equal when it comes to doses (methamphetamine being slightly more potent but much longer-lasting than Dexedrine/dextroamphetamine).

Thanks for the reply!

What are the differences in terms of strength? Is Dexedrine IR stronger than cocaine? What about methamphetamine, Dexedrine IR stronger?

What about the euphoria differences?
 
Like NeighboorhoodThreat said, cocaine and Dexedrine are not that similar. While cocaine is a stimulant, it has very pronounce anesthetic properties as well which Dexedrine does not. I suppose as far as purely stimulant effects, cocaine is stronger but lasts nowhere near as long.

Also, like Threat said, Methamphetine is stronger and lasts much longer than dextroamphetamine.

^^ Hell yeah post #500.

Are you sure cocaine is stronger than Dexedrine IR? I've read in forums that Ritalin is similar to Cocaine, and Dexedrine IR is similar to Meth. And everyone seems to think that Dexedrine IR > Ritalin.
 
Ritalin is not stronger than cocaine. Its harder to make a comparison between cocaine and other stimulants than you would think. While Ritalin (methylphenidate) has a similar method of action to cocaine, they are leagues away when it comes to potency. I would just consider cocaine to be its own thing.

Another thing to consider is methamphetamine and cocaine are both usually encountered in street form, which means their purity is not known, and is most certainly not 100%. While pharm-grade methamphetamine is available (Desoxyn, Methedrine) and pharm-grade cocaine is available for dentistry, these forms are very rarely used in medicine because other safer alternatives are available.

I personally think methylphenidate is the weakest of all of them, even weaker than mixed amphetamine salts (racemic amphetamine, Adderall).

Dexedrine is quite potent and while it's not going to give you the same "high" as cocaine would, it is still a very powerful psychostimulant drug. It is useful for its intended medical uses against ADD/ADHD and narcolepsy and also has very high recreational potential.
 
Dextroamphetamine may not be as strong as methamphetamine but the effects are pretty similar. I would consider both of them to be more euphoric than cocaine, but not the same effect. But I don't really like cocaine. And most people people would not choose Ritalin over any of the above for recreational purposes.
 
as far as i know, cocaine blocks the reuptake of dopamine/serotonin, causing its own unique euphoria, while amphetamines release serotonin and dopamine causing a different stimulant based high than cocaine...dexamphetamine is more related to ritalin as it's the backbone
 
Dexedrine is more like methamphetamine, except meth will have you awake for 12+ hours, whereas with dexedrine, the primary effects wear off in about 4-5 hours. Also, meth is much more potent and deleterious to ones health. Cocaine is a whole different animal. It's more recreational, euphoric, and social to my mind. Shortly after doing it (and it is much more short acting ~ 30 mins) an incredible feeling overtakes you and your heart starts racing up and your mind starts rushing with thoughts, you're basically uninhibited and much more direct, and you feel more powerful. I'd say that coke doesn't make you more logical like amphetamine; instead it makes you much more animated.
 
Pharmaceutical methamphetamine is very slightly more potent than Dexedrine (dextroamphetamine) an a mg-to-mg basis. In fact, the maximum daily recommended dose is 45mg for both. I have been on 45mg of Dexedrine before and also 45mg of Desoxyn and in terms of potency they are very similar. People on here think just because crystal meth (street methamphetamine) lasts forever that Desoxyn does as well. This is not true. Desoxyn lasts on a little longer than Dexedrine (approx. 4-6 hours) and has to be taken three times a day. I don't know what it is that makes street meth (crystal) last so long, maybe its the chemicals used in the process of producing the methamphetamine. Crystal meth also seems so much more powerful than Desoxyn.

You really can't compare Dexedrine to cocaine. The only similarity is that they are both stimulants. Ritalin is more comparable to cocaine then dextroamphetamine is but not in terms of potency, just in their mode of action. Cocaine's strength is much more powerful than Ritalin.
 
Speaking of Pharm Grade Cocaine...

My dad started practicing medicine (Emergency Medicine) in the early 70's when Buprenorphine (Shots) were common for pain and Cocaine was used for Nosebleeds. He told me that it was used all the time (it was a liquid solution )and he remembers one time when he thinks he gave someone a little too much (didnt squeeze off the excess). And he watched as her eyes got "huge" about 45 seconds after he gave it too her. Stopped her nose bleed. But she was "very talkative" and "thankful". I wish I was around to get hurt in the good old days.

Ive only done coke 4-5 times in my life....but I can imagine pharmaceutical grade liquid straight through already broken capillaries. Almost as good as IV.

far as a i know Ritalin (Methylphenidate) and Cocaine effect the brain the same exact way, the only difference between the two is that Cocaine reaches the BBB (Blood Brain Barrier) much much quicker causing more intense euphoria, much faster onset of effects. Pharmaceutical cocaine is in liquid form usually like ear drops for local anesthetic purposes, and its not carried in purer form to abuse...
 
@diggity who said methedrine
methedrine brand pharm isnt around anymore, only desoxyn and a generic of desoxyn are on the market still.
ritalin is a DNRI, like cocaine is, if thats what people in here mean.
as opposed to a releasing agent like amphetamine or methamphetamine
 
cocaine/methylphenidate(ritalin) act by blocking the reuptake of dopamine. Amphetamines(adderall,Dexedrine)Methamphetamine, on the other hand release serotonin and dopamine unlike cocaine. Both stimulants, both very different properties. when i first began using amphetamines, duration lasted 12+hrs. Now im lucky for a 4 hour boost. Ritalin on the other hand does nothing except cause anxiety, and with a duration of 3-4 hours (when it used to work) whenever i get ritalin i sniff it and have cocaine like (85%) effects that last about an hour, i get less side effects sniffing ritalin opposed to taking it orally. Cocaine sniffed, 30mins if im lucky, light euphoria (maybe cuz im used to IVing and smoking it, i expect the instant rush, hate sniffing the crap, too expensive) When i smoke cocaine (crack) rush lasts a good 2 minutes, followed by 5 minutes of a relief buzz, 7 minute duration total. IVing cocaine, rush is for about 60-90 seconds, followed by a duration of an hour, and paranoia for hours, off one dose, amazing how IVing has less negative side effects, lasts longer. Cocaine = short acting, expensive. Ritalin =dirty cheap cocaine similiar buzz, slighter longer duration. Amphetamines=long duration, smooth and clean buzz!

i need help guys! i been sniffing and IVing ritalin all day today, i;d like to take some adderall when it wears off, will the effects of adderall be blocked by doing all the ritalin i did today????????
