Does the dosage of adderall effect duration?

I've been on nearly every adhd pharm out there (started in 2nd grade, lol). I don't think taking amount Y instead of amount X of stims would increase duration past a certain point. However, I know that for most adhd meds that is the case. LSD is a different story, although you would have to saturate your receptors and still have some left over.

I've made that mistake too many times before and have been up for days wishing I hadn't taken all those xr adderalls. Anyway, my own personal rule with adderall is to ALWAYS have something to come down with, like ambien and a benzo, you still probably won't sleep but you'll most likely feel alot better.

The lingering insomnia from all those adderall xr's is hell at times, be careful.

Also, the above poster who said that it's useless to redose after a certain point is dead on, once you reach a certain point more adderall will not get you higher, just more irritated and more unpleasant side effects.

i'd say the worst comedowns come from:

1. crystal meth(only drug that requires seroquel to sleep)
2. i.v. cocaine
3. mephedrone
4. methcathinone
5. snorted cocaine/ritalin
6. MDMA/MDA
7. snorted amphetamine(adderall, dexedrine)
8. propylhexedrine(benzedrex nasal inhailer)
9. oral ritalin
10. oral amphetamine(adderall, dexedrine)

yes adderall comedowns suck, but theres far worse comedowns out there.

I hear you on snorting adderall.....it seems to make the comedown SO much worse.

Orally i really haven't had too many bad comedowns, unless im taking in the 100mg range (then again I used to do mdma like every week so comedowns are a breeze too me anymore)

Snorting it seems to make the comedown so much worse. Really shitty stuff.
 
Probably useless, at this point, but lest you decide to do something along these lines again....

Make sure you eat something. On the rare occasions when I have used stims for purposes other than therapeutic (I take 20 mg adderall xr for ADD), I have found that eating something when you start to come down can really make the whole miserable experience alot better. Sure, you are still going to be strung out and exhausted but incapable of sleeping, but I find eating some decent healthy food really helps take the edge off the misery. Maybe it's a blood sugar thing... I don't know, I'm not a science chick, I just know it always helps me.

Incidentally, the very idea of eating always completely grosses me out at first. I'm generally horrified at the prospect of putting food in my mouth when I'm all spun out

But inevitably it totally winds up being worth it.
 
kudos for taking 120mg of XR's, and you have no tolerance.

Thats pretty fuckin brave.

Ok here's one incredibly important lesson that i hope i can help somebody understand pertaining to adderall , now in the world of substance abuse there is a general trend for more substance = more euphoria. The thing about adderall, (specifically due to the fact that it is a racemic mixture) is that this logic is certainly not true. There is, as mentioned on another thread i recently read a definite "sweet spot" to speak of , in other words there's a point where a larger dose will induce no significant increase in euphoria but will greatly increase all the negative side effects / duration and intensity of the come down so please save your self a lot of grief and be conservative when ingesting this tricky substance i believe my perfect dose for euphoria falls around the 70mg or so range but that's just me .
sorry bout the length but man you'll regret not heading to this advice which i myself sometimes fiend hard enough to break this rule but i have never failed to regret doing so

There is ABSOLUTELY a sweet spot with adderall. There is a ceiling effect and you're just going to get frustrated. And the comedown sucks, but as an ex coke addict and ex MDMA addict, the comedown is nothing (other than boring). Benadryl helps me for some reason. Not to sleep (you're just not gonna sleep) but to help me just zone out for a while.

Not to mention that I did the exact same thing as yesterday. (I forgot to mention that) but i was up all night and i did the same thing today because i still had loads. Basically im fucked, I have no benzos or weed and i feel like total shit :(
Click to expand...

I did that exact thing and stayed up all night, taking loads, then next morning took loads more, dont even wanna guess how much, but holy shit i felt like SHIT the next morning.

Had no benzos, no opiates, no weed, no nothing, and it was absolute hell.

You live and you learn.

Also i find the comedown on XRs worse because they last SO FUCKING LONG

The comedown on IRs is a bit worse, but the fact that Xrs comedown is so much longer and you cant sleep for shit makes it worse IMO

Not to mention you dont speed as hard, but hey at 120mgs, your gunna be speeding your balls off so it wont matter lol

MDMA comedowns are incredibly worse, much, much, much worse than amphetamine comedowns. Methamphetamine comedowns are almost as bad as MDMA comedowns. Amphetamine comedowns are easy.

But I guess that it does have to do with the individual.

Consider yourself lucky man, 120mg would be one hell of a comedown for most people. Espiecially if you keep redosing.

I thought you were responding too me cuz you said ^^^^

I was like o.O

lol and yes I agree. That person should be banned permantly.
 
I used to take high doses every day but cut out because I noticed the comedowns were getting worse.

I noticed one of your other posts and said you barely get comedowns from addys.

I envy you man, trust me your lucky, the comedown can suck ass with no benzos or opiates.

Btw this is NOTHING compared to some other comedowns like coke binges or mdma binges, but its still pretty bad sometimes.

Arient you lucky?
