I'm a SAHM mom of 3. I was FREAKING out yesterday preparing to clean my whole house for my son's 1st birthday. My friend gave me a two 20mg adderall to help me breeze through it (1st time taking it). I researched it before I popped it and saw it can last for 12 hours, so I took it early in the AM.

It worked GREAT and lasted.... WAYYYY too long. I was practically up all night tossing and turning. I finally fell asleep for 2 hours from 5-7, but then my kids woke up!

I have no coffee or energy drinks. My two older boy's (12 and 13) are easily handled if I ever need to lay down for a small nap.... Anyways, my question is should I take a small piece to get me through the day like 5mg? Or is that a bad idea and I should just tough it out and save it for a rainy day?
 
Hey there, Oakperk. I am a new member as well, though I've used BL as an information resource for a long time (lurker). I concur that you shouldn't take more Adderall to get through the day: take a nap, eat something nutritious and re-hydrate if you let yourself get parched. My experience with Adderall has been in the form of intense binges, so I've seen both the initial beauty and also the week-later jungle of the drug. I don't have ADD or ADHD, so I get amped and suffer impaired judgment. It's fun, though, for sure. I hope that by now you're rested and feeling good. Welcome!
 
I got prescribed adderol when I was 17. I started abusing it but had to stop taking it after I got into a wreck and had to take other prescription drugs that weren't safe to mix with adderol. But when I would do it, I'd do about 50 mg every day (what the doctor prescribed me) but the way i abused it was I didn't allow myself to sleep much , when I'd get tired I would just pop another and then eventually fall asleep once the second 50mg wore off. It would make me sleep for about 20 hrs. Lol so no, another 5mg won't hurt. U kno college students do way more than that for longer periods of time. One time won't hurt, u will just have a bad come down so just go to sleep when ur able to so that u don't get all depressed lol
