Stimulants Sleep effects on Adderall

[oxyaddict05]

I have been searching and have yet to find an answer. I am sure it is out there but there are so many search results for "adderall" + "sleep" + "effects."

My question is simple: Due to exam schedules I woke up yesterday @ 6pm and have been awake since then. I just found an old bottle of adderall IR and wish to take some tonight specifically for buzz purposes (I'm done with class for the week, so can afford to catch up on sleep...oOoOo that rhymed rather well). Will having been up for 24-30 hours considerably reduce the effectiveness of the adderall?

I don't take adderall regularly anymore as I have long replaced it with armodafinil (Nuvigil, or the right enantiomer of modafinil).


Now my second question I will no doubt find an answer to using the search, but if anyone feels like answering it as well I'd be much appreciative: I took my daily dose of Nuvigil @ 8:30 this morning. Should I expect a potentiation, degradation, or no significant interaction (both positive and negative)? I would be taking the adderall around 12 hours after I had taken my Nuvigil. I therefore am more concerned with how the adderall would interact with the "state of brain" left behind by Nuvigil, rather than a pure drug synergy/contradiction.

I'm fairly learned in regard to neuropsychology and pharmacodynamics, so feel free to throw in some specifics/jargon if you feel so inclined.


To put it all simply, will I get a significantly better buzz if I reset my brain and take it tomorrow? I only got enough adderall for one good experience, so I'd rather not waste it.

Much appreciated.

when i ve been up for a few days, more stimulants can either get me really high or not at all, depending on my physical health, and whether i've already taken any stimulants already that night. what you should do is just sleep, then wake up rested, and take the adderall, because being up for days and taking adderall makes the high less fun, and shorter lasting.

The nuvigil might make the adderall more uncomfortable of a high, as its not dopaminergic but it does effect the NE, and is really dirty and nonrecreational.

wait till you go to sleep, and then take it in the morning and dont combine it with other stimulants. If you have some benzos or opiates, keep them on hand, because you still may not sleep, and IME when when yyour sleep schedule gets fucked up, the shadow people and general side effects are much worse and prevalent, and if you lose sleep AGAIN after sleeping and then taking the adderall, you may find yourself feeling like complete shit.

Bad idea to dose amphetamines without a full nights sleep.

Thanks for the advice. Pretty obvious but sometimes it helps to hear it from... SWIM! HA! First time I got to use that phrase properly. And it will be the last.

Postponing till tomorrow.
