Stimulants weird effect from dextroamphetamine

[MrSpeedyG]

Have been taking my dexedrine as prescribed, so far about 8 times. First 3 times were 10-15mg and solved ADHD and gave me euphoria so decided to back off the dosage a bit. From the 4th time onwards I have taken anywhere in between 5-30mg and started taking magnesium the night before. I get absolutely no effect whatsoever, this also includes side effects. The only thing I do notice however is that about 2-3 hours after my mouth gets a bit dry, apart from that pupils do not dilate, I dont get the sweats, I still have a sense of hunger (allthough this slightly dissapears when the mouth becomes dry).

I would put this down to I had a rapid tolerance build up, however it confuses me how for some reason the only effect I feel is 2-3 hours after first dosing the dry mouth.

Say for example 20mg had you, at the first few dosages feeling pretty recreational with side effects including tachycardia, big pupil dilation, jaw clenching and increase in body temp/sweating, if you kept taking obviously tolerance will build to the effects, but does tolerance build completely to the increase in heart rate, pupil dilation etc.

tolerance builds to all the side effects in my experience. I used to snort 50mg of dex at 14 years old. But i was a fucked up teenager.

It's a pity you got that euphoria at prescribed doses.

You did the right thing by cutting down the dose, but that initial euphoria is what your body/mind is craving even though it isn't what you are after. You almost have to program your mind to forget that feeling.

Try skipping a few doses as well, so when you do take the lower dose, only when truely needed, it should do the job it is intended to do.

It's worth a try.

Idk man i have alot of experience with amphetamines specifically dex and addie, and I definatly think you are just a victim of the judgement impairment, or amphetamines atleast dexamphetamine just isn't that euphoric for you. Perhaps you can try a different ROA as plugging is what works best for me with amps, and has the greatest BA. ~95 % if i remember correctly, where as oral about ~75% and hits alot harder increasing euphoria for me. Anyway, amp tolerance forms very fast, chelated magnesium like your doing is great, dxm is a little better IMO, but oh well. You may just be one of those people that body gets acclimated to amps quickly, and your tolerance has already higher. I know 2 3 people that don't do opiates more than 1-2 week maybe and have like 35-40 oxy tolerance which doesn't make sense to me either cause 20-30mg of oxy still is great for me after years, and some stupid periods of daily use. So I don't see how that couldn't apply to dex amp, try 30 with an anti acid like tums a few mins before if dose orally, and if you are determined to get all twacked keep snorting/eating 10 more mg every 45 mins til you hit your sweet spot.

o i forgot to mention, your problem with the duration is an issue of tolerance. That may seem rediculious but amp tolerance is like that it's one of the fast building tolerance of any drug except like lyrica, dxm and stuff.Everyone is different man sorry you may have gotten dealt a shit hand. I've been dealing with that issue for years but that where boosters come into play, but beware of binges when all the fun ends it really blows, esp if you don't have any benzo/pregs/opies. Also beware of amp addiction please its so much more addictive than some people make it seem.

The point the OP is making is not to try to get euphoria out of the meds.
He wants the meds to work for the specific symptoms/condition.

If I misread your post I apologise.

Remember "Harm Reduction".

I've noticed that Benzos and Amphetamines seem to react differently with different people in terms of tolerance. Some people get tolerant within a few days, while others can stay on the same dosage for years. I don't think it is quite understood why that happens, yet.

It seems like the reason for amp tolerance is neurotransmitter depletion, so i would try to use it every other day at most, but more preferably have 1 or 2 "amphetamine days" per week. That way, you should gain max benefits from small doses.

I take Dexedrine and like most amps tolerance builds FAST the euphoria you get the first day is not the same the next day, and so on and so on.

Do yourself a favor a take a weekend off. I don't take them friday saturday sunday unless I have a TON of homework an essays, and then start back on monday at 20mg, another 5-10 around 12. And its just like clockwork, the effects just go down every day. Really is annoying.

I ALWAYS get dry mouth with dex, and I agree with you when it comes to eating (I still eat 3 meals a day) its a pain in the ass. Try eating turkey sandwhiches, and some canned mixed fruit. Always works for me.

Also like to note that while the comedown is...SO smooth compared to adderall, I do get irritated by about the 3rd and 4th day of the week of taking them.

Other than that not much really its incredible how much smoother of a comedown dex is to adderall

And im talkin IRs btw XR's is lame IMO %)

Agree with you, perscription amp addiction hits QUICK if your doin real amps (Dex, addies) and tolerance. And binges can be so bad when the party ends and your freakin out for some opiates or benzos

I'm a little confused, perhaps you can help me. You altered the dose prescribed by your doctor, not knowing what you were doing, and ended up not having any effects. What exact outcome did you expect from randomly playing with your dosage? Go back to your prescribed dose and do what your doctor said because he was right. First dose is always euphoric, no way around it. If you lower the second or third dose because the first was euphoric you fail at life because even if you increase the second or third dose, you will likely not get that same first euphoria. Your body responded to the dose by building tolerance and you ALSO responded to it by lowering the dose...2 responses, only 1 required. Unless you know what you're doing, don't alter doctor prescriptions.

Going back to your prescribed dose will restore focus, mental alertness and will give no euphoria.

What are you afraid of?

Some tiny little dopamine molecule in the reward region? Is it that dangerous?

^^^^LOOOL call the cops he got euphoria off amphetamines that were perscribed, who would have thought?? 8(

What you're describing doesn't really seem like a weird effect from dexedrine. Don't alter your doses. Take the same amount every day, at the same time. You will feel euphoric the first few times you take it - that's totally normal, and it does not mean your dose is too high. You will become tolerant to the euphoria and talkativeness, as you are supposed to, but you're taking this medication to help you focus and accomplish the things you need to do. Building a tolerance to the euphoria is part of the process when using amphetamines as an ADHD therapy.

Make sure you eat a good, protein-packed breakfast before taking your meds, and be sure to eat something with protein throughout the day when your tummy starts to growl.

Good luck!

And after you accomplish the things you "need" to do, what's next? You have a large home, a respectable closet with all outfits, an Acura, a sports car and...a set of...golf sticks to socialize with your co-workers on Friday afternoons. What then? ^________________^

I mean...is that it? You keep doing that and then you die. Is this what all of this...reality is all about brother?

 

[AlphaMethylPhenyl]

There was another thread about this almost exact question which you posted in. Hello?

 

[shreddedlettuce]

Nah, quite the opposite, it's just so elusive for those of us who really need it and can't spark it naturally.

(but i get your post and I feel rewarded for having the "last word")................ damn, it's gone again.

 

[MMMMKAY?!]

I must post just to say I admire your ability to cut down the dose when feeling euphoric x). That's mostly when its hardest to taper for me =/

 

[som3dankbudz]

Oh my bad i miss read the OP's post. I thought he was trying to achieve euphoria. And by all means, I am not enc jouraging recreational amphetamine use. Most of us know the nasty negative effects that has on your life, or at least me. Nor am I encouraging snorting pills, it really wrecks havoc on your septum. It's just when I and many others first started, I like snorting bc the quick onset pretty close to the onset of coke, and it makes the urge to re-dose so much worse, and the crash to bad. I was ignorant to that though and ended up for days. Fuck that, anyways I guess the point is now I think about it, If not just you or anyone who is amphetamine naive, please just take your pills, or plug them. I am contradicting my first post as that's not a great thing to start snorting any amphetamines, for me and my friends the quicker come up and euphoria get you hooked way faster, and hit that switch that turns you into a phien quicker.

 

[MrSpeedyG]

Turns out I had a bad batch... Got a different batch and surprise surprise its perfect now, ADHD treated consistent dosages, no more dirty peripheral effects

I know this is late, and you already figured out why I guess. But I just wanted to mention that my doctor told me, that if you're sick or something it could act like a tolerance. I was asking for a higher dosage, and he told me to wait a few months to make sure It's actually a tolerance, and not just cause I'm sick or something. (he said it looks like I have an ear infection)

Euphoria is a good thing.
