how do I stretch my adderall in the most effective way

[lemongaga]

I started taking 30mg xr once a day in the morning on the 31st of July. I had 9 pills stolen from me so in one week, I'll be running out early. It's out of the question to inform my doctor seeing how the only reason he agreed to the prescription in the first place was because I'm pathetic. My hospital records clearly state chronic alcohol & drug abuse on top of severe psychiatric problems resulting in disability. He's aware I'm not in school or working either. It was a miracle of bullshit the prescription was even written... In the past I did let myself get a bit heavy in speed using 100-300mgs daily for months until my psychosis took over and suggested immortality that ended in a very unpleasant overdose--the cia was still following me for months after completely sober. It's been at least a year since my head has been completely straight and I've decided that I'd really like to address my add properly instead of using amphetamines as an anti-blackout solution for heavy drinking... I also used to drink a liter of gin daily to the point of seizures during withdrawal and have now found got that under control to the point where ive drank mabe 5 times in the last 3 months and each time only 1-2 glasses or less -- (please save yourself the "once an addict always an addict" speech) anyways I want to know what the best way would be to make 7 adderall stretch until the 29th (when a new prescription will hopefully come) I want to do it in a way where im productive throughout my day without short bursts of any sort of euphoria. I'm a bit disappointed to report that I don't get high off this dose. It's way too low. I need at least 60 ir for a buzz (still...does that make sense? for my tolerance to linger that long??) so this is just for treatment-resistant depression, chronic stomach problems, and adult ADD.. should I split the capsules open and eat half on top of something each morning? im prone to nausea should i eat? please dont judge me im so miserable and stupid lately. i just want legit advice. thanks

So you have 7 capsules and you need them to last 16 days? You can open the capsules and split the beads. If you take 1/2 a capsule per day you will run out 2 days before your next fill. So I would take slightly less than 1/2 per day and save up the little bits left over so that you have some for the last 2 days. You can just pour the beads in your mouth and swallow them with some water or you can sprinkle them on food. However Adderall does not need to be taken with food and many people find it works best if taken on an empty (or mostly empty) stomach. Unless you normally feel you need to take it with food there is no reason to take it with food just because you are taking it out of the capsules.

You don't need to feel "high" to have it help with your ADD. Although personally I do find the IR more effective than the ER. You could always discuss it with your doctor when you see him/her if you don't feel it is helping.

As far as making the most out of your adderall - I have found a couple things to work. I think this combination will be best for you:

Like the previous poster said, open up the 30mg capsules and split the pile of beads inside in half. Take only 15mg each day. Just put the dose onto a piece of tissue paper then close it up into a ball, and there you go. You just doubled the amount of time your adderall will last.

Next, take 1-2 tbsp of baking soda and mix it into a small glass of water. Drink this 30-45 minutes before you take your adderall, every day. This will make your 15mg adderall feel more like 25-30mg in terms of potency, as well as make the dose last significantly longer then it normally would.

Good luck!

Or you can take a calcium/magnesium supplement or a Tums or something if you don't like the taste of baking soda. I like chewable calcium/magnesium tablets. Magnesium is also supposed to be good for keeping your tolerance from going up as quickly.
