Ive got a calculus test tomorow that i really need to cram for so I'm gonna take some help from my little buddy dexedrine. ANyways I have 2 15mg extended release dexedrines considering Ill be studying how do u think I should dose these. Cause Im all to familiar with being twacked out on to much amphetamine resulting in no studying. But ya suggestions on dosage would be appreciated. Also if any of u know the mechanism for the XR is half dose to begin and then the other half kicks 4 hours later?
 
Do you say to your doc i need to study and he gives you dexdrine? sounds crazy..
 
Best way is to take one 15 mg spansule together with 5 mg IR dex to jumpstart it. But as that isn't available, taking two 15 mg spansules would be too much IMO so just take one, then take the other 4 or 5 hours later.

The XR mechanism is just polymer coated (and possibly polymer infused) beads of d-amp in the capsule that gradually release the the amp over 6-12 hours.

You shouldn't take more than 10mg and are probably best off taking 5mg doses at a time and you don't want extended release. To get rid of the time release pull the capsule apart and dump the beads in a shot glass then take the back of a screwdriver and grind them up- it's a nice make shift mortar and pestle and takes about 10 seconds to grind them to a fine powder. Then dump the powder out onto a piece of paper and divide it into 3 equal sections which are each ~5mg.

If I were you I would take 5mg at a time and that should be more than enough to give you focus to study without you feeling jittery. Honestly I can hardly tell the difference between 5mg and 20mg of d-amp, the only difference is more jitteryness, anxiety, and tweaked out feeling at higher doses. To take a dose just dump one pile pack in the shot glass, fill it with water and mix around and knock it back. It should hit you in 5-10 minutes or less.

Only take another 5mg dose once the first wears off or if you really don't feel it and think 5mg is not enough for you. This also makes sure you don't take too much and can sleep if you need to where if you took more or XR you certainly would have a difficult time getting any rest. Don't overdo it or you will be worse off than if you didn't take it.
 
thanks for all the suggestions i think im just gonna pop one cause grinding seems like a little to much of a pain and i feel as if popping one will most likely have the same effect do to the fact its xr

If you aren't going to listen to any of the advice here why did you bother making the thread? I don't mean to sound rude, people here took time to give you good advice.... :\

Anyway, XR sucks for studying and is very slow to kick in and will probably last too long and you won't get much if any sleep which will fuck you over for actually taking the exam, plus 15mg is excessive and you will study better on 10 or less. Grinding the beads takes 5 minutes if you drop the beads on a sheets of paper, fold it, and roll something hard of them until they are crushed. A shot glass and screwdriver or similar blunt ended object takes 15 seconds. Take into account that XR will takes an hour at least to kick in and won't really peak for 3-4 hours I think taking a few minutes to grind them up is worth it since I'm sure your study time is valuable and limited and from experience I know you probably won't do shit until you start feeling the effects of the adderall in anticipation of it, so just take a few minutes to make it work better...
 
He could always take it earlier and then not have to wait for it to kick in?

To OP: If you don't have an real tolerance to it, 10mg (when with XR) might make you too restless to do anything but something that's completely useless. You know your own tolerance though. You meantioned you have experience with amps, when then are you asking this question. Is it because you've never done the XR version? It's going to feel the same but less intense and more drawn out. You will easily be able to replicate the effects though (and it will last 1/3rd the time or longer) depending on how much you take...it's quite easy to take too much. I remember when I first got into adderal back in the day how spun I could get off 2 30mg XRs. Enjoy, because you will!
 
I used to be prescribed the Spansules; for studying purposes, the most effective way to use them IME, with the pills you have, would be to take one now. Grind the second, divide into into two equal piles (similar to what Oxymorphone suggested) and eat one 7.5mg IR pile 7 hours later. If you need it, take the second 7.5mg dose as needed after that. I always used to do this, further dividing the last 7.5mg pile into two doses to gently 'coast' off of the dextroamphetamine so I wouldn't feel too drained come time to actually take the test!

Best of luck...

He did listen to the advice. My advice was to just take one. Grinding up the beads from the capsule is poor advice anyway and eliminates any smoothness that the spansule normally provides. Grinding up a dexedrine brand spansule made me feel like crap - even taking only 5 mg at a time, and I tried it several times just to be sure it wasn't just a bad day. Whatever is in these beads, there are NOT meant to be ground up and doing so does not give you the same thing as dexedrine IR.

Dexedrine spansules (if brand) are very smooth and very good for study. The generics may be or not, as I haven't tried them.

Of course they are not meant to be ground up, however when they are ground up it is similar to an IR except it acts much more rapidly than taking a regular IR tablet since it is ground into such a fine powder it is absorbed extremely fast. It's more like instant absorption instead of the slower instant release. That is why you experienced discomfort- the rapid come up was too much for you. For many people it is great and I never experienced discomfort converting XRs to powder awesomeness.
 
That's what I was thinking, that he simply doesn't tolerate a purer form of dex very much. It's not like it's a different drug. In ancient times mandrake was taken as a hallucinogen, a euphoriant, depressant, even a stimulant (depending on the dose), and then if too much was taken it'd just feel like the terrible poison it was and then it'd kill you. lol.. but seriously.
 
Anywho I didnt mean to disregard anyones advice its just as the situation presented itself at the time it seemed easier to just pop one anywho once I feel the need however with my last pill I will be grinding up the beads as suggested and taking the piles accordingly thanks for all the good info
 
If grinding up the beads works for you Oxymorphone that is great, but they sure didn't for me. As for it being a purer form of dex as Dextermeth suggested, that is not the case, as it has all that ground up bead case plastic-like material that is now jagged little pieces no matter how much you use the mortar/pestle rather than smooth balls.

I take IR dex all the time, so I don't have a particularly low tolerance to the degree that 5 mg ground up would make that much of a difference - but who knows. For whatever the reason, I can take 20 or 30 mg of regular IR dex or spansules and feel fine, but 5 mg of ground up stuff and I feel horrible.

The extended-release preparation on the Spansules is different from that of Adderall; instead of being mixed-preparation (amphetamine and time-release wax combined) it's literally a shell of varying degrees of orange (some balls are lighter orange, some are darker). The darker ones have more time-release coating and therefore take incrementally longer to dissolve in the stomach than do the lighter ones. Anyhow, if you crack (not crush) the balls and dump the mixture into a tea strainer (a superfine mesh net), the strainer filters out all the wax shell casings and leaves you with a pure pile of white dextroamphetamine. I may or may not have done this many times in my past!!!

kk new question but whatever if I want to take these same dexedrine for recreation purposes what would u suggest for dosage and this is if I just take them straight as the 15mg xr capsules no prep or snorting
 
Do you have a tolerance to dextroamphetamine? If not, I'd suggest taking one 15mg Spansule; if so, you'd probably have better recreational effects with two of them.
