I know that if you're an adolescent (14, 15, 16 years old), taking high doses of adderall can actually impair your brain into adulthood, especially in learning or memory. I've sort of made that mistake- at this age I dosed up with 120mg adderall XR about 10 to 15 times, and am not actually sure if now I am feeling any after affects of that abuse. Basically, I would LIKE to keep taking adderall recreationally, but I want to lower the dose to prevent any damage to my brain- I was thinking of chewing up just 60mg adderall XR, as I have been sober for a month.
What's a good dose to prevent this kind of damage?
Any ideal time to dose?
And when should I take supplements to prevent neurotoxicity- how early prior to dosing the adderall?
Thanks!
 
only you know you, so to speak. no one knows your tolerance as good as yourself, but i advise starting out slow and building your way out. i suggest starting at 15-20mgs and working your way up by 10mgs every 30-60 minutes until you hit your sweet spot.


check out the ADD, they have some good threads regarding amphetamine neurotoxicity
 
Here is an interesting article on amphetamine toxicity you might want to read.

I personally think that starting at 60mg is going to be a mistake as it's been a month since you've used, and I bet you can achieve a nice buzz at lower dosages. I personally would not start off with more than 20mg, and not go over 60mg in the span of the day. You'll be surprised at how much of a difference a months break can do to your tolerance.
 
See this thread, also the mega threads in ADD

The best option is to not take amphetamines recreationally. Eventually you'll find you have to increase the dose to get good effects. It's a game of diminushing returns.

That said, 30-60mg should be enough for most people to get a good kick without too much damage.
 
I have taken 150mg seperated into two dose over an hour. Didn't sleep for 2 days and felt like my chest will explode.

Honestly i split a 30mg XR, into 3 doses. Seems i have no tolerance. I just use it to give me a little kick to get going, like a cup of coffee.

Cut back a few days and lower dose.

What is it your doing that you need that much energy?

Sometimes if i am doing something on the weekend or out drinking i will up it to a full cap or 2.

But i hate not sleeping, i love sleep.

Lot's of water will keep it as safe as possible.
 
i got crazy deja vu when i saw this thread... have you posted this SAME thread before?

and IMO you shouldnt take more than 40mg at a time, although others will disagree with me, as it seems like a low dose, but if you're avoiding tolerance, then 40mg is ENOUGH.
 
@ the op: If you are already concerned about a lot of the negative effects use may have had on you, and have went a month without use, the best option is really just to stop. I know this probably isn't what you wanted to hear, but in the end it might put your mind at ease more in relation to your original concerns, to know you aren't doing more harm.

If you do decide to proceed, I think appropriate advice has already been given above.

Agreed. I've been in the same boat a few times and I've always gone back. I now take 200+ mg/day and constantly feel like shit. I'm going to have to go the next 2 weeks without any amps starting tomorrow which I'm definitely not looking forward to.

Unrelated side note: I started this thread with the exact same thread title a month or two ago http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/threads/628733-Amphetamines-how-much-is-too-much
 
i usually take 100mg in the morning on rare occasions that i buy some and i can't sleep till about 4am so i don't care much for stims but it helps me focus and better motor skills and less depressed

120mg XR is ok, it means you only got 60mg IR twice which is about 45mg of dextro amphetamine. I doubt you'll impress anyone here with that much but to answer your question, if it's for occasional high, once or twice a week, you'll die of old age before experiencing any side effects.

I wouldn't exceed 90mg XR for therapeutic dose though. There's a pitfall though. If you take your therapeutic dose daily, you develop tolerance much faster than if you get high on Monday and crash until Wednesday then get high on Thursday again. Tricomb said that "what comes up must come down", if you never come down, you'll grow tolerance. It's more complicated dude, it's not just, getitng high vs. using the drug properly. No one knows what good use or misuse is. They only give you an opinion and make a law about it because they have to. Truth is elsewhere.

Enough is never enough man, every time I take 40mg I want to take 80 more...I don't know how I manage not to abuse this shit yet lol

It's like, if you buy 1 piece of pussy, you get another piece of pussy for free, and for each free pussy you get, guess what: you get a free pussy! ^___________________________^

Not EVERY single day. I may be a bit overboard but there is no way I could sustain that for any period of time. Its more like 8-10 days/month.

And no, I'm not immune to levo-amp at all. Even at those doses I get very little euphoria, probably not a whole lot different than chugging a few cans of RedBull. I do however still retain all negative side effects of levo-amp.

Funny thing is when I first started lurking here when I started amps I thought some guy was off his rocker for doing 90 mg/day, and now here I am a year and a half later doing over 3x that amount on some occasions. Funny how perspectives change over time.
 
That's horrible man, how do you keep on doing it? What do you get out of it? If it's no more effective than Red Bull, why not drink Red Bull instead? 200+mg amphetamine is going to take a horrible toll on your body and mind.
