Stimulants How dangerous is it to take 95 mg of adderall with no tolerance?

[stripedunicorn]

Within the past couple weeks I've gotten a 20mg xr of adderall prescription. One of my very close friends has had quite a history of adderall and meth abuse, but she still enjoys occasionally taking adderall. I'll give a layout of how the night/day went. Just for prior reference, I have little to no adderall tolerance. I've only used it a handful of times, and my maximum dosage was 50mg in a 24-hour period.

3am: My friend and I had made plans to party after she got out of work (which was at 3am) the other night, and I decided to take 2 of my pills (40mg) after I discovered she had already taken a 30mg one while she was working.

3:30am: When we got to our friends house, my friend bought 5 30mg tabs, and we immediately decided we wanted to snort a line of it, split 3 ways (10mg, total of 50mg). We also took about 6 jello shots a piece within the next half hour. At this point, I was feeling quite amped up. I felt like I wanted to be around people, loud music, and like I wanted to smoke about a pack of cigarettes.

4:30am: Just for kicks, we split another of my friend's pills 3 ways (another 10mg, total of 60mg). We each had a mixie. I was feeling extremely excited and have took out my urge to concentrate on something out on sketching.

6:30 am: I split up one of my 20mg pills between my friend and I (10mg, total of 70mg). By this time, we've each drank a couple beers too.

10am: After everyone was ready to call it a night, we called our friend to go over there, and when we got there, we discovered he just got 2 kitties, which is entirely irrelevant, but exciting nonetheless. Before we leave his house around 10:30, we snorted one my my friend's 30mg pills (15mg each, total of 85mg).

11am: We make it back to my friend I was with's house and smoked a couple bowls with her roommate. This was the first time in my night smoking weed. I have noticed that when I am on adderall, and I smoke weed after I feel like I start "coming down," the weed almost seems to give the addy a boost, and the side effects of the adderall are intensified. After this, I felt an overwhelming sense of exhaustion come over me, with thoughts rushing through my head so fast I feel like I can hardly finish a single thought.

6pm: It wasn't until 6pm that we decided to split another of my pills (10mg, 95mg total). We still had not gone to bed and I was starting to feel pretty tired and I got a horrible headache around this time as well. My stomach had been growling for hours prior to this, as if I was starving, but I had no appeal for food. It felt like I had horrible menstrual cramps. After I took the line, I felt much more awake and thought less about my stomach hurting.

4am: I'll leave out the rest of the details, but I didn't go to bed until 4am the next morning, so I was up for a total of about 35 hours. By this time, I was practically nonfunctional. I was lost in thought constantly and couldn't seem to find words to express myself. I still had a headache and my teeth felt quite sensitive, especially while smoking cigs.


I have a tendency to go hard because the people I'm around do it, typically because they've grown a tolerance, so I feel the need to keep up, and I most definitely can. But after I calculated that I had taken 95 mg of addy in an 18-hour periood, I felt a little guilty and fiend-ish. I have hardly anyyy tolerance grown for adderall, but I felt like I can handle myself quite well on it. I'm wondering is it dangerous to take this much adderall with no tolerance, or is it alright if it's spaced out, like how my night went?

Also, the other night I was on one 20mg tab of addy and I had taken several bong hits. Immediately after, I experienced what I assume was my first panic attack. It was quite a scary feeling. I felt like it was impossible to breathe, I got this overwhelming wave of nausea come over me, and I felt immobilized. I questioned if I was having a heart attack for a portion of it. I've got heart and anxiety problems in my family. So, I'm just curious about if the panic attack is something to be concerned about and if this type of adderall use is especially dangerous... Thanks for any and all input!

Yes, too much. Go easy.
You probably won't die, but all that stress is hell on your body.

You'll probably enjoy yourself more and not get so spun out; so you can actually get sleep and not need a huge time to recuperate.

It is a lot for someone with no tolerance but it's not an insanely high amount or anywhere near the danger zone IMO.

I smoked a half gram of meth starting Friday and stayed up till 3pm Sunday. I don't have a tolerance to amphs either, but I had it laying around so I couldn't stop dosing until it was all smoked.

Although I highly recommend nobody repeat that, I feel alright today (Tuesday)

I pretty high dose in my opinion, but I think the weed could also have been a factor. If you're using stimulants, especially like that, I think it's good to have a benzo around for the comedown (or in larger doses "the crash") and it will also help in the event of a panic episode.

Wow. You went at it pretty hard. Like others have said, take it easy. I would cut back on the adderal especially if you are toking and drinking as well.

The first time I did adderal I was 16 did not know what to expect got it for free from a friend and had only done weed. This combination of things about myself lead to me doing 80mg because I had never snorted something and never did speed. I suppose I thought it would hit faster or be a very noticeable intoxication like weed. It wasnt good but it wasnt overly bad as others said it was just uncomfortable and i couldnt sleep for like 36 hours. Definitely learned not to exceed 40mg at most after that.

TLDR:make yourself eat and drink for a better time with less he'll to pay. Sleep during downtime if possible but watch out for benzos

Too much but not likely dangerous as everyone else said. What I have not seen mentioned is thst you should force yourself to eat and drink water regularly. Not only does this prevent horrible aftereffects but will actually make the high better while you're on it. Think abiut it - your body needs nourishment to even produce the dopamine and other feel goods that the amphetamine releases. I actually feel waning effects bump back up if I eat when starving in a session.

And I second sleep even if you're gonna go again the next day for the same reason if not health. All of this will help reduce after effects.

Be careful with benzos for the come down. They are a godsend but if you get into regular tweaking you don't want a gabaergic habit piggy backing along.

Oh yeah and I personally avoid alcohol while on a run but that's just personal pref. I can say alcohol will make the comedown/after effects much worse. I prefer a little bit of bud if I want to turn things in a more "free" or creative direction. Not a fan of tweaking for "going out" to idiot bars or clubs... a concert or edm event sure but I can't stand all the alcohol induced stupidity of a bar full of normies while on a run. Ok I'm going way into personal pref now...

If you're family has a history of anxiety and heart problems uppers probably aren't the smartest thing to be "going hard" on. If you must do addy's make sure you take them on a full stomach and cut back on the dosage.

Yes, the answer is in the question… be careful

save those nights for special occasions lol stick to the dose you're prescribed and that may help you. i used to abuse adderall like crazy. now that i'm on prescribed vyvanse and taking 30mg daily, i feel pretty good and have no comedown.

drink lots of water and go at your own pace! other people's tolerance is obviously not yours. you'll find a good dose for yourself i assume.

i also feel anxious mixing weed and my meds.
