hi guys,

longtime lurker and first post! SWIM just took a 20 mg Adderall IR for the first time (roughly 90 minutes ago) purely for school purposes. Looking to pull an all-nighter to write a 30 page paper (yikes). Read about dosages and assumed it would be enough especially because SWIM is only about 100 lbs. However, SWIM does not seem to feel any effects yet. Possible reasons - taken on a full stomach, taken with a sip of juice (the Vitamin C thing?) and, perhaps most importantly, SWIM parties with cocaine fairly regularly and did quite a bit Saturday night and a very tiny bit last night - today is Monday night, just in case, lol.

Is it possible that the blow upped SWIM's tolerance for the Addie? Should SWIM just be patient and see if it kicks in?

Thanks so much in advance for any advice! <3
 
I doubt blow played a role. you might just be expecting a coke style high though, whereas a dose that low of addy won't do that. try to fall asleep and you'll see that it's working. or start doing some work and try to stop abrubtly, or try to eat some food, both of these will tell you if you are speed up or not. if it's real adderall you will b glued to what you are doing, everyone is different, but these are the effects of amphetamines. amp is subtle at low doses, no rushing, maybe a little mood boost but no real euphoria. just do your work, you'll know if your speeding if you try to write a sentence and it turns into a paragraph.
 
20mg of amp with no tolerance and little experience has a pretty high probability of blowing the person away in euphoria.

As for OP's post, cocaine can interact with dopamine effects of adderall. I feel like the adderall still may suddenly hit you.
 
SWIM took another 10mg on the advice of a friend and still feels nothing :( SWIM would not normally sleep at this hour so that's not a good test but could probably eat and is barely writing anything lol. The Adderall is definitely real, SWIM's friend has a script.. SIGH. this sucks but thank you so much for the replies.
 
Wow, your first time and you don't feel 30 mg of instant release Adderall? Lay off the cocaine maybe, ugh? You stil gotta right your paper though, so get going little girl!
 
wow, Choosing_Positive, not appreciating the judgment. SWIM isn't even close to like a cokehead or an addict, just in a city and scene where blow is fairly commonplace (and free). There hasn't even been a consensus that it was somehow affecting the Adderall.. and SWIM is writing (not righting) the paper, thanks.

Anyway, thank you everyone else for the help! SWIM decided to just take the last half, coming to a total of 40mg, and is feeling it now. Trying to bang out this paper - which, coincidentally, is on the political economy of cocaine in this city and globally. Haha.
 
We don't use the SWIM bullshit around here, because we know who you're talking about, YOU! It's just annoying really.

And Cocaine would play a role in "cross-tolerance" to an extent, due to the down-regulation of dopamine receptors. It shouldn't take 40mgs to feel Adderall for your first time, unless the batch was terribly manufactured.
 
noted. thanks for the tip.

and yeah, I'm confused as to why it took 40 mgs. according to everyone I asked 20 or 30 should have been good. maybe it was the coke.. oh well.
