I take adderall daily for my ADD.
I took 2 x 20mg Adderall XR orally at 9am.
I took 10mg Adderall IR sublingually at 3pm.
I took another 10mg Adderall IR sublingually at 4:30pm.
It is now a bit after 9:30pm and the effects of all of the adderall I have taken today has fully worn off. (I felt the wear off around 8:00-8:30pm. Although the effects of the adderall have worn off it is my understanding that I still have significant quantities of amphetamines in my bloodstream, as the half-lives of the various amphetamine salts in Adderall are all around 12 hours.
I would like to use some tramadol recreationally (200-300mg) this evening, but I am concerned about the potential risk of a seizure due to the amphetamines that are still in my body. I was thinking of using a benzodiazepine to potentiate the tramadol and realized that benzos are commonly used to prevent seizures in certain types of epileptic patients. I was wondering if my use of a benzo to potentiate the tramadol would also decrease my seizure threshold, thus making it relatively safe (or at least safer) to take tramadol within 5-6hours of my last dose of adderall?
A few other factors to note:
- I have a very high benzo tolerance and have access to a variety of benzos. I would mostlikely take a combination of clonazepam (which is marketed for its antiepileptic properties), diazepam, and alprazolam (it's my favorite benzo and I think it would mix nicely with tramadol). The clonazepam and diazepam would be taken in much smaller doses than the aprazolam (I just believe that they have stronger antiepileptic effects than alprazolam, but high doses I find to be too sedating).
- No, I'm not going to OD, my tollerance is quite high (my blackout threahold is around 20mg Ativan or 10mg Xanax)
- I'm aware of the risks of mixing downers (different benzos & benzos + opiates)... Please don't tell me about the risks of respiratory depression, hyoptension, ect.
If anyone could shed some light on this topic, specifically on the neurochemistry behind the increase/decrease in seizure threshold that these chemicals produce that would be fantastic! Any thoughts on this at all are greatly appreciated!
