I need some serious advice/opinions.
Can I manage Adderall/Dexedrine & Amphetamines in general for school & recreational purposes?
I have been addicted to amphetamines & various other substances, prescription and off the street, various times in my life.

In the past few months I have been doing an extremely good job at controlling myself not only when surrounded by drugs (I have family members that also use various substances, and most of my friends at least smoke weed and/or alcohol), but my anger, depression, and general moodiness have all improved a great deal. I've also been sleeping alot better at night (I've been an insomniac literally my entire life). Life is really looking up for me, ever since I met my girlfriend :)

I have enough self control to be able get high off of amphetamines one day, then go straight edge for months. The thing is, Adderall & Dexedrine have really helped me in school, but would I be able to use my Dexedrine (30MG XR) everyday during the week, and be able to use amphetamines (I've got Adderall accumulating on my shelf) maybe once or twice during the week for a high without becoming addicted again, & getting a large tolerance increase? I know that an increase in tolerance is inevitable, especially when chasing a high, I just want to know would my tolerance increase enough to render my prescribed dosage for school too little an amount to get the same feeling that helps me do so well in school?

Do you think that if I use Dexedrine for school 2 days out of the week, I could get high off of it another 2 days, and not have a huge increase in tolerance?

Thanks in advance!! :)
 
You probably could as long as you have moderate sized breaks during the week. Your tolerance will go up from daily use at prescribed doses no matter what, both the working medical dose and recreational dose. A break of two to four days a week will help quite a bit for tolerance if you can manage it. However, it will become increasingly difficult to used the prescribed dose the longer you try to use it recreationally. A very high percentage of people can not take a medicine both for medical reasons and for recreation with any success for sustained periods of time. You'll likely either stop using it for recreation, or stop using it medically.
 
It's possible, but do you have ADD/ADHD? Tolerance to amphetamines will happen sooner or later.

If you take more than two days off(Codones is in the right ballpark, I feel, with 2-4 day breaks) and make sure to eat right, sleep right, and consume vitamins and supplements to help yourself refresh and rebuild after the amphetamine usage. Vitamin C and magnesium supplements are important.
 
If you say yourself you have a problem with amphetamine addiction, the answer is no, you can't use amphetamines for recreation and work as it will inevitably go to shit. It's the nature of things.
 
I guess it depends on what your priorities are, if you are taking the stimulant for lifestyle improvement such as the treatment of ADD/ADHD then I would not advise trying to get "high" on it. It will only raise the risk of potential abuse, and these drugs are Schedule II in the States meaning they are deemed to be extremely habit forming, and potentially dangerous. I myself take Adderall for ADD but I do it in a very controlled dose and as soon as I feel it stops becoming a benefit I will discontinue usage.
However, I digress Dexedrine and Adderall are related, but the Dexedrine is simply Adderall without the levoamphetamine salt, so its actually a bit smoother with regard to the side effect, but it is also considered to be more euphoric than Adderall.
To answer your last question, no you will experience dosage tolerance the more of it you take, now it wont be as rapid as it would be if you were using it everyday, but eventually you will develop a tolerance to the amphetamines
 
I'll tell you from experience, it's easy to let shit get out of hand. I had about a 7 month period my senior year where i was caught up in the exp...sure my grades we good, but partying and being the life of the party is easy.

Just make sure you take breaks, like weekends at the very least, if not Sat-Mon break helped me the most as far as appetite, and maintaining a sleep schedule.

An Amphetamine habit will test how much self-disipline you really have, real talk.
