Question on 10MG Dexedrine Spansules (Dextroamphetamine XR/SR)

[raveageddon]

I have considerable experience with MDMA but not much with other stimulants other than caffeine and nicotine. My general rule of thumb when trying any new drug is to start with quite a low dose. I am 140 lbs (male). I am a little unclear about the strength of the drug and the extent to which crushing the beads would intensify the effect. So my question is roughly what might I expect to feel from crushing the beads in one 10MG spansule and administering it orally? Would it be likely to make me feel 'high'/euphoric? Sorry if this was answered in another thread I just couldn't find the specific answer I was looking for.

Also since this is my first actual post in regards to drug discussion, I should say that I made a introduction post in the new member forums if anyone would like to read that before answering.

10 mg of dextroamphetamine for a first timer is not too bad. You'll definitely feel something, but it won't be a strong euphoria or anything like that.

Normally, I'd say a good starting dose of dextroamphetamine would be 15-20 mg. But since you're relatively small (140 lbs), 10 mg might be a very nice dose to start with. Everyone is different.

I myself am on Dexedrine for ADHD, but I get the 5 mg IR tablets (150 of them a month).

Hey thanks for the quick response. Sounds like a good start to me. Sorry for trying to post a pic, won't do that anymore.

Another related question is how much might taking a capsule of l-tyrosine prior to dosing effect the experience? Also is taking l-tyrosine a good way to deal with amphetamine crash as 5-htp can be for MDMA? (dopamine vs serotonin)

You can post any pic you want, just not to ID pills.

As to your question, I am not quite sure as all I take is benzodiazepines for comedowns. Maybe someone with more experience will have an answer for you.

I don't know if 10mg will do anything. You will feel 'something', somewhat stimulated with an energy boost, more alert, but you won't experience euphoria or a profound sense of well-being. At least at 10mg I do not believe you will. I'm keeping in mind those are the sustained release & not the instant so chances of getting high are less. You may want to crush the beads to defeat it.

As I did mention above the beads would be crushed first. How much of a difference is that likely to make? I don't mind not feeling really high or anything my first time just want to get a taste of the feeling.

You should get a taste I just don't want you thinking that you'll get really high or anything like that. Crushing the beads will make a difference, instant release is much more recreational than sustained release. Only a few times have I experienced 'euphoria' from sustained release and this was generally when I first started using them. You won't be able to completely break the time release but you should be able to defeat at least 75%. Its hard to break those beads thoroughly.

cool, thanks for your help!

I had one more question about this. About how long would it last with the beads crushed? I got em' crush real good by folding them up in paper and rubbing them down with a lighter. I would probably just eat the stuff straight rather than swallow the capsule.

It'll last a good 4-6 hours.

^^ i either crush the pills and snort or add the crush mixture to a shot glass, add some water and enjoy...the latter is better for your health as snorting substances can cause irritation and fuck up your nasal passages, but you get a little more rush from intranasal

L-Tyrosine is a supplement that helps support the neurotransmitters in your brain, like dopamine and norepinephrine, stress; drugs; grief can all cause an increase in stress hormones that take a toll on your body and reduce the amount of dopamine and norepinephrine (and others I'm sure). That said, there is no scientific study showing that a daily capsule of L-tyrosine will improve a persons mood, though there is evidence to show that it reduces the stress hormones and could be beneficial to take during a time of need. There is no sufficient evidence to suggest that taking the supplement with anything will help to improve your high and hangover but if you live an unhealthy life by most people's standards it is a good preventative supplement to take to help your brain cope with all the weird shit you're putting it through. Also another note: I know there is another supplement (quite expensive-$60 a bottle) that is supposed to help the seratonin levels and receptors in your brain, it in theory helps to rebuild the seratonin receptor and because taking MDMA actually damages the receptor for a bit, this supplement is supposed to support the receptor rebuilding itself which would aid a hangover or theoretically get you higher because you are cushioning and supporting the receptor being damaged by the drug and then more drug can be absorbed because you have some receptor left. This theory for this supplement can be applied to the L-tyrosine as well.

And SWIM took 20mg of Dexedrine for the first time today and felt a little speedy but not high and now the speedy effect is gone 2 hrs later, but SWIM is awake at least. FYI SWIM is female 5'8" 115 lbs, some experience with ADD meds and a tolerance for other items, and it looks like a tolerance for dexedrine from reading the posts and comparing SWIM's current experience.

So I ended up taking 15 mg crushed up finely last night. Honestly I had a very good experience. Vaguely comparable to a low dose of MDMA but with more stimulation and less emotional effects. I felt great and danced my ass off without feeling as strong of an urge to drink as I normally would. Staying up late was easy. The effect was pretty much exactly what I expected which is nice. Today I'm feeling very tired but not crashing much. For the record I did drink a fair amount while on it and smoked a joint towards the end of the night.

i would have gone with 20mg if i were you, as all my friends without tolerances get high on 20 (i get the same exact pills oyu do, except mine are generic)
but its good to hear you had a good time
protip:the XR system doesnt seem to ACTUALLY work, i never bothered crushing em unless i was gonna snort em, i'd just pop a teensy tiny bit moar........

Would do 20mg the next time I just always aim low my first time on any substance. What do you mean XR system? crushing them? Do you mean that crushing doesn't bypass the time release?
