I haven't taken Adderall or any amphetamine in two years. I have 24 hours to finish writing the conclusion and introdicution to my thesis, in addition proofreading the damn thing before its' due... so i'll need energy! Also, I need to print out copies of it... Actually, I have 23 hours now. I can get Adderall or some other derivitive of equal strength off my friend. I'm just wondering, what you folks think would be the best way of dosing. I have been up since 10AM, (it is now 5PM), I'm going to have a big dinner around 7pm. I was planning on taking it at 8pm, and then heading back to the library and working all night.

I've taken it in the past, and I work pretty well on the stuff. I don't think I go crazy. I make sure to drink lots of water and bring snacks despite not being hungry. I'm wondering, how much should I take? How should I level it out? I usually dont take caffeine or stimulants. I weight 180 lbs, roughly.


(I understand there is no correct dosage. Just wondering, based upon your expertise in the matter, what you would suggest doing. Thanks!)

Danke schoen.

The half-life of amphetamine is approximately 10 hours.

20mg oral Adderall XR should have you set.
 
I'd start low and titrate up. So you don't do too much seeing as your goal is to be able to focus on writing your paper.
 
I'd start around 10-15 mg and see how you felt in an hour.

If you over do it, paranoia and a crash will occur.
 
thank you all for your thoughtful thoughts. i really appreciate that theres a community around the internet that never sleeps, and that we all took the time out of our lives to be here. Turns out it was dextroamphetamine. 10 mg, time released. my good pal told me about the chemical composition before i got em. any how, i took 10 now. in about eight or ten hours, i might crush some of the other pill up and then take it accordingly. im expecting the effects of this to last about 8 to 10 hours. i have a meal, and almonds and a bunch of water nearby. the library doesnt close at all tonight. a bit of what the fuck did i just do after swallowing it, but too late now. here we come. i feel too gentle for this world of amphetamines. any how, my friend said that the effects should not be as tweaky as adderall. im not looking for the high involved or the euphoria. i get enough out of just listening to music, you know. starting out by listening to the spacemen 3. eye wish you all a wonderful wonderful evening. love peace and cosmic harmony.
 
Well those pups aren't too strong. Ive been going off and on crashing, a bit, because of the time release mechanism. Any how, things are more solid now. I still have one more pill, and I'm going to take that sooner or later. Might crush up the beads though so that i'm in control of the dosage and so it doesnt burn off for fucking ever. But we'll see. Any ways, paper is going pretty good, i've been able to read all of it and edit it and shit, and now im just working on the introduction and conclusion and then i beleive i will be done, listening to chill dub reggae (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDHfEBK72L4) so there isn't anything to worry about these days.
 
I was going to say, there's no way even time release dex is going to last 8-10 hours... They hardly prescribe dextroamphetamine anymore because the half-life is so short compared to mixed amphetamine salts (adderall). A time release version after a big meal is going to be fairly weak... If you're still up and working and maybe check this, I recommend taking a short walk before you totally finish and come back to it, especially after taking a second one. Get the blood/digestive track flowing :)

(Been prescribed Adderall 80mg IR daily for a few years now for ADHD and mild general anxiety).
 
Hope you managed to do as well as you could given the time constraint - I assume the deadline's passed now.

What was your thesis on? Just out of interest? Writing mine as we speak...!
