In layman terms it allows you to reach that same euphoria EVERY time you take the same dose of Adderall, instead of using more and more because you've gotten a high tolerance to the Adderall through binging or even just taking it everyday. Dr Bob supports patients taking DXM.
heres a link to Dr Bobs site.

The combo that i use to Reduce Harm and thats what this site was founded upon goes as follows:
-Chelated Magnesium ( dont get the one w/ Oxide as main ingrediant. It has low bioavailability. Get chelated glycinate or gluconate, about 500mg a day.
-Delsym. Costs
$$$ a bottle. I take 15-60mg a day to prevent tolerance to Adderall, which is key. Dont skimp and get any other brand with a bunch of other active ingrediants. You want ONLY DXM, which is what is in Delsym brand. Get the Orange package.
-Have your Psychiatrist prescribe you Clonodine to kill the physiological effects for when you have to crash. Its better to save the Adderall, get some much needed sleep than spend another 8 hours awake from chasing a high. Tell your Dr that your schedule is erratict and you takle the Adderall not always in the morning. He'll understand.
-Xanax. I take it just to chill out a little when I am tweaking. Like .5mg is a good dose for when you start getting nervous/and or your body is acting erratic like a racing heartbeat.
-Seroquel, Risperdoll, Trazadone are all life savers for when you need to knock yourself out cold to prevent things from turning out badly.
-**If you cant get the scripts for the xanax, clonodine or above listed psychotropics, take 100mg benedryl/antihistamine for when you need to fall asleep.
Drink at least a half gallon of water a day, make sure to eat at least 1200 calories, hopefully not junkfood ( you might as well learn up opn proper nutrition while you're using Adderall ) And you should be aware of higher resting heart rate from using amphetamines. 225 minus your age is your Max heart rate. To get your hearts beat per minute hold your pointer and middle fingers against the side of your neck with your right hand while looking at a clock. Count the bumps coming through your neck for 15 seconds. Take that number and multiply it time 4. Thats your bpm.
And speed will have you doing small motor "rewarding" type tasks. Its common for tweakers to spend days upon days jerking off or having sex w/ random strangers in bathhouses. Just dont get psychologically addicted to all the good porn the internet offers and dont be ashamed/feel guilty about how good 3 hour masterbation session feels on adderall.
This is excellent advice.
I've read all these stratagies mentioned, here and there for the last 2 years that I've been taking adderall IR.
It's nice to see all of it in a nutshell.
Also, i found taking any z-drug ( eszopiclone being the most effective ) as a substitute for xanax or another benzo does an efficient job of chilling me out if I'm over stimulated
