Tell me about Adderall

I've been trying to do some research on Aderall before I take it again and I'm having a lot of trouble finding the information I need. Alot of the other threads i tried seemed to have gone off topic and google searches aren't telling me anything consistent, so I apologize if I'm asking anything that I can find out elsewhere.

So I will start asking questions. How much should I take to get a decent euphoric high or rush and what are the risks of an overdose? A lot of sources I read said you can't really OD on moderate doses but I also read a few accounts of people claiming to have OD'd on 50mg.

What other risks are there in taking Aderall for getting high? And is Aderall easily to build a tolerance to or get addicted to?

Also, what are the difference between snorting and just eating them? I found a ton of threads of people saying completely different things about methods of taking them. I would assume snorting hits you faster and harder, but won't last as long as eating an equal amount. Is that correct or no?

Any other info you could share is appreciated, i don't know as much as I would like about Aderall and I really don't like to try anything until I know close to everything about it. Thanks.
 
The amount you should take depends on how long it's been since the last time you dosed, and also the extent of your habit at that time. If it has been 6 months to a year, I would take no more than 20 mg.

Snorting Adderall is not a good idea. In my experience, it really does not produce a rush that is more pronounced than the one brought about through oral consumption, but you will get sharp "up" and a sharp "down" in short time frame. Many people recommend plugging Adderall, but I have zero experience in that area.

Take a good chelated magnesium citrate tablet if you start to get into a habit. This regulates tolerance and also relaxes your muscles against the stimulation.

There is an overwhelming amount of information within bluelight on this topic.

10-20 milligrams is a safe starting dosage for an individual with no tolerance. In controlled and responsible dosing, the risk of an overdose is nullified.

I read said you can't really OD on moderate doses but I also read a few accounts of people claiming to have OD'd on 50mg.

Again, this is fully reliant on tolerance. Even for an amphetamine naive individual, and overdose with 50 milligrams is somewhat unlikely, nevertheless, possible. Dose responsibly, and you'll be fine.

What other risks are there in taking Aderall for getting high? And is Aderall easily to build a tolerance to or get addicted to?

The risks are dependence, addiction, and withdrawal. Adderall, is highly addictive as are all other amphetamines. Tolerance also climbs rapidly. All these risks are exacerbated during abuse, and mitigated in responsible dosing.

Also, what are the difference between snorting and just eating them?

The most efficient methods of ingesting adderall are orally or rectally.
 
if you havent taken any before or in a while, a few weeks even, start at 20mg. your tolorance will build quickly. daily even and before you know it your taking 90 to 120 or more a day cuz you aint gettin that "rush", your just getting sick at your stomach. best you dont do them at all but if you must, after a couple days seeing how you tolerate them, take take 60mg at one time after breakfast and go do whatever it is you do. I'm good for about 5hrs that way. I can take 60mgs 2x's daily and that works pretty good. Less is more with Addies, especially the XR's. You havd to figure out at what Mg they go from feeling good to feeling not good, just jittery and take the most you can at one time without feeling bad. Trial and error and when you start eating them like M&M's, quit for 72hrs and then they will work again. I will have to try that manesium sulfate? to lower tolerance cuz it raises fast, like a couple days.
 
Overdosing on amp is rarely fatal but can land you in the ward with serious issues.

If you don't abuse it I can attest that its about as addictive as a two cup per day habit of strong coffee. If you do it can be on par with cocaine/opiates.

Just start at like 10 mg. You'll feel pretty good at that dose if you don't have a tolerance
 
It can be very addictive, I'll warn you that. I've been taking Adderall almost daily for months now. It's off and on, never taken on days I work and I just don't always have it. Being prescribed 90x 5mg Valium a month, so having benzos on hand always make me dose Adderall much easier, as I can sometimes get bad anxiety during the high and more so on the comedown. Lately it seems to have lessened a lot though ? Very weird.

Tolerance climbs extremely rapidly when taken regularly/abusively. The funny thing is my dosage in a single day still is lower than a lot of peoples prescribed dosages.

Constant and continued use will cause down regulation of your dopamine receptors, thus you really lose the "speedy" feeling or any euphoria you might get (I never really got much, just good speediness) after a while unless higher and higher doses are taken, but of course I don't recommend that. Dosing consecutive days, your regular dopamine levels haven't had enough time to replenish back to their normal state, so the high won't be as good as last time for the most part if the same dosage is taken. I never really liked going above 40mg in a single dose, taken rectally (best ROA by far for stimulants), but took 60mg in a single dose this week with 2 30mg IRs. Still wasn't extremely speedy. I'll be doing the same dosage again today, too. We will see where it lands me.

I usually get 20mg Adderall XRs though and they aren't as good as the IRs. They have to be crushed up completely first since they are in bead form, and the time release mechanism still isn't completely defeated so 20mg of Adderall IR is equal to about 15mg or so of XR in terms of apparent effects.

I might have to mix IR and XR today and dose a little higher than usual. Chasing the speediness that I've lost a bit of. I mean I know I'm still speedy from even a single dosage of 20-30mg, but it's just sort of weak.

L-Tyrosine is something I have recently picked up to help replenish dopamine faster and I regularly take Magnesium Glycinate as it helps to keep tolerance from rising as much and more so keeps it around the same level. It also helps with any muscle spasms you might experience and will relieve bruxism (teeth grinding or clenching) that lots of people get when they take stimulants. It's definitely my MOST recommended supplement you take if you're going to take Adderall. It has to be in a form with a high BA, such as Chelated magnesium or Glycinate like I have, or it's completely useless and is just a laxative.
 
I was prescribed to it when I was in high school and I had the 10mg instant release. Sometimes I would take 120mg at a time and get pretty high. Also yes they are addictive, just like any substance. I've IVed them before and had no problems either. I feel like you get more out of it IV.
 
My first time was 60mg, and it was by far the best time ever. Now-a-days, i take more like 5-10mg. I feel like it's mainly because i learned the drug and now i can identify each segment of the experience much easier. The initial time was amplified by excitement and such, but now that i have become familiar with it, a dose that high would be pretty uncomfortable I think. I've been with people on 180+mg and i still can't really believe they didn't die, haha.
 
dont ever snort adderall, u will get a nasty tweaked cocaine induced high, thats short lived, leaving u to crash...when u take it orally or rectally, it lasts for SEVERAL HOURS, you want to talk alot, enjoy life, your 100x happier, your calm, yet energetic and focused..snorting it totally just is a waste
 
How much should I take to get a decent euphoric high or rush and what are the risks of an overdose?
If you are completely new to adderall id recommend between 10 to 20mg as it should allow you to feel the effects, with very low potential for overdose.

What other risks are there in taking Aderall for getting high?
Well as with any substance there is the possibility that addiction may form and im not certain as to which physical changes take place with adderall use, but im quite sure there would be some.

is Aderall easily to build a tolerance to or get addicted to?
I cant speak much to addiction potential. But speaking form personal experience it is extremely easy to build a tolerance to adderall

I would assume snorting hits you faster and harder, but won't last as long as eating an equal amount. Is that correct or no?
In my opinion snorting does hit you faster, but not any stronger, it also doesn't last anywhere close to as long as if you were to simply take it orally. In my opinion you should just take it orally unless you're looking for a very brief energy boost


Best of luck!
 
Yeah adderall tolerance builds extremely quick. The first day I got my script I shot 20mgs and it was amazing. The next day I shot 40mgs and barely felt anything.
 
Ok as someone who has personal experience. I got prescribed 20mg INSTANT RELEASE twice a day a few months ago, and i only use it twice a week. Because as most people will tell you, if you don't know already with using adderall too often or daily (or any drug) will create tolerance meaning higher doses, more health/psychological problems etc.

But if your just occassionally using them (no more than twice a week) than you won't run into much problems, the problem is most people can't do that or don't realize that. Anyways if you get a the instant release pill (not capsule) those are considered to be able to get your higher and a more euphoric high than (capsule) extended release. (In canada they even stopped prescribing the instant release version of adderall). Although you can make an extended release more instant released by breaking the capsule and the beads inside them (too much of a process for me).

You must know that snorting adderall is STRONGER, but it does last shorter with a worse COMEDOWN. Taking adderall is the best most people say, but only about 50% and usually less is absorbed in your body. The way to get the most out of it is plugging it, you get 95% of the drug in your system if done properly and lasts longer with a smoother comedown. By snorting or orally taking the pill you don't really absorb much of the medication and don't feel as much as you could like from plugging. But i'm not convincing you to plug them if you don't want to, i'm just saying the high is much stronger, (euphoria, concentration, motivation) and you feel a lot more from a smaller dose.

However if taking a different way, take it orally. Snorting it involves too much powder, i did it a few times and felt it a lot more than orally (my first few days on the med) but i had to snort like 8-9 lines from just one pill. It is proven through charts through snorting it is stronger, but it also is shorter and has a worse comedown/ after effects.

Dosage depends on everyone differently (im talking non tolerant users like you and in general). I gave my friend at work 20mg of instant release adderall two different times, and she never felt it much. But i gave her two one day (last time she didn't want anymore as she researched the addiction potential) so that was 40mg of instant release, and thats when she felt it she said (energized, talkative euphoric) and she's pretty light too.

First time i did adderall was the only other time i was scripted it a few years ago at the highest strongest dose (30mg instant release) for just a month, since i couldn't handle the comedown. I did 60mg twice a week for till they ran out (same as now just about but i do less than 60mg sometimes since i plug them and they are 3 times as strong). Anyways i wasn't lucky as so many others are who say that even 5-10 or even 30mg of instant release (or even extended) got them speeding and real high. And i'm only 135 5'5, but either way taking 60mg gave me the best feeling ever and on top of the world, i don't recommend that dose since for most people it's too high, and when it wears off you feel like SHIT!. If your going to be doing anytime soon, i'd start with 40mg orally for instant release to "feel it", or 40-50mg extended release.
 
I can kinda help by offering you my opinion on how I like to take it :)


I snort it because the high isn't as long or as intense. I'm not a super fan of it. I'll do it (right now actually mwhahha) so I can get school work done. I wont leave the house, I'll just get spun all night and work.

When I snort it, I do have to keep snorting more through out the night if I want to stay high but at least I have the option! If I eat it then game over, I'm fucked for hours.


I also prefer mixing it in the same line with xanax to take that speedy feeling off. Is this safe? Probably not but doubtfully deadly. But what do I know. I'm just an art student ;)


edit: I only start with like 10mlg too because my tolerance is so low. But if I keep snorting small bits through out the night I prob hit around 60 mg max. That's with about a bar of xanax, too.
 
In my opinion, 40-60 mg XR is perfect. I prefer crushing up the beads and parachuting or just chewing them up and swallowing. This may be too much for everyone but for people like me who have been born with a high tolerance to everything, this is just right assuming you have no tolerance built up to amphets.
 
yes, it is addictive (more so mentally for me) and depending on whether or not you have a preexisting heart condition will determine how much you should take. If you do then I wouldn't exceed 40 mg and I wouldn't snort it. just my opinion though
