Hello,
Background about me: Over the past year I somehow developed ADD-like symptoms which are interfering with my work and college. I am thinking it might be due to being overwhelmed with work and not getting enough sleep. Or maybe I actually do have ADD and it only showed up now. The symptoms I get a lot of times is inability to concentrate on task/work/lecture/homework, getting very frustrated because of that, unorganized thought and feeling like you can't put ur mind to work, lack of motivation, feeling frustrated in class to the point where its hard to sit still. Right now I'm just waiting for summer vacation and hoping that next year i can improve my concentration somehow.
For the last week I've been taking small doses of adderall and ritalin from a friend. I usually snort about 5mg adderall and 10 mg ritalin. Sometimes I take it orally or sublingually in slightly higher doses. I found those meds to be VERY helpful for me. It clears my head of the usual frustration I get and makes me feel better. It makes me feel very focused and sometimes almost euphoric from getting work done.
However, I do realize that I can't keep getting the same effects from it if I keep taking it regularly and soon it will stop working and make it EVEN harder to concentrate without it. I also don't want to live on that and be dependent.
The questions I have for you guys are:
1) How often can I take adderall or ritalin for studying without becoming dependent on it or getting a tolerance?
2) How fast will the tolerance develop? It would really suck if i will have to keep increasing my dose
3) Is there a way to prevent the development of tolerance? Maybe taking it once or twice or week, will that do it? I am also taking magnesium supplements cuz I heard they help with tolerance as well.
Thank you!
