Adderall days

[shark week]

took some of a 60mg vyvanse at 2am.

i promised myself i'd do this and next week's homework, clean my room and study for the quiz i have tomorrow.

but instead i'm reading about the Bolshevik Revolution and watching Doctor Zhivago

[bill murray]

yeah I really miss having a prescription. I don't miss the harrowing anxiety attacks, but I do miss the productivity. and the profit. buy one bottle of 100, which subsidized by the gov't costs $3.50, go to club and sell the whole bottle in one night at $5 a pop. woo.

That reminds me, I have to literally walk my prescription slip from the doctor's office to the pharmacy, I can't get more than 30 at a time, and I have to call the doctor every month to get it refilled. Stop fucking snorting it you assholes.

(Yes I realize the government is the problem.)

Same, except I can wait a day or two before I take the script to the doctor to get refilled. I also have to see my doctor every 3 months in order to keep her writing scripts for Ritalin. And nobody can pick Ritalin up for me, I have to drop it off and pick it up myself. And there's a really bad shortage in Philly (and most cities) so I have to drive to the suburbs to get a refill.

when stupid ass was doing meth it was probably just adderall but then everyone yelled at him what gives

[andrei]

i've never taken this substance, but this thread is making me think it could fix everything in my life

[ghostguts]

fucks with your mood if you do this longterm/prescribed from my experience and friends' experience, so I try to stay away for the most part. had my days when I was strung out on adderall and vyvanse and it's not really fun past the first couple of days of usage, because you're just trying to maintain that feeling, as all drugs go.

[wyatt]

man i love to snort dexamphetamine!

yeah, don't do this.

[southpaw]

At one point I was doing up to 400mg a day.

I was also about 120lbs at 6'3

I used to listen to Hey Jude and cry when I came down

also my job made me go to rehab

Haven't done it in like a year

I want some

Thread should have ended with this post.

So since presumably the day I was born I was the categorical hyper kid. I'm 30 now but if I would have been born a decade later I would have been on like 90mg of this shit per day. One of my earliest memories is being forced to have a conference with a teacher and my mom because I was literally driving the teacher mad by making repetitive beeping sounds ala Beaker the muppet. I always loved being the class clown, weird kid, it definitely made the high school experience crazy and fun...lighting a bus on fire and blaming someone else for it, jumping off the theatre stage during a presentation, having competitive masturbation sessions with one of my female friends in spanish class.
Anyways I got to college and realized that I cruised by in high school because of that impulsiveness and big personality. All the while I missing huge parts of intellectual and emotional development because I'm so singularly focused on getting laughs from everyone and just generally being the most impulsive person I could be.
Finally decided I was going to try to give stimulants a chance and it was the absolute cliched moment of "this is how life should be". It calmed me the fuck down, basically muted all that useless outside "noise", and made me feel like I was making huge strides in my writing and art. Looking back at some of that stuff now, it did help those strides. It was just the perfect drug, I kept feeling so immensely empowered and able to finally deal with all the important life stuff I'd just been constantly avoiding and failing at by not trying.
As I eventually learned through about 6 years of use and abuse, methamphetamines burn you out. I got to a point where I'd need 90 milligrams to even be able to get out of bed in the morning. It absolutely killed my sense of humor. It changed my voice, even, turned it into this dry monotone. And the amazing thing about stimulants are not only the tolerance you get for them, but also the way your brain gets strangely attuned to the idea of them. I still think back to some of the first times I took that stuff, it was just the most perfect feeling, and everytime I've used it since then its just a lesser version of that original experience. Each time the enlightenment and inspiration gets less and less, the chemical effects more and more. But you still crave it, and imagine that the next time you take it, it'll be euphoric fix-all it once was. Its also pretty cliche at this point, but being on a high dose of stimulants and being tired is the worst thing.

When they tested a bunch of stimulants' effectiveness on pilots a few years back they found out that plain old coffee worked best over the short term and long term. I drink a shitton of caffeine nowadays, I guess it goes without saying. I definitely still think about the speed buzz often though. In someways I think of coffee like its methadone.

I wonder what that post would have looked like on adderall

[Gehrig Industries]

ya u gotta keep ur dosage low with this shit.

i take 20 mg a few times a month. when i take one i always get depressed the next day. i know its just the drugs fucking with me so its not a big deal but it usually results in a lost day for me. but id be terrified of how 90mg a day would fuck with me body

[ghostguts]

considering popping one now and just working through to tomorrow night. ugh.

[Coca Cola]

Ha I took 75 mg of this shit one time when I was 13. I couldn't fall asleep for 2 nights afterward. Somehow my parents didn't notice. They also somehow didn't notice when I took it to stay up for an all night flight with them. I refused all food and just worked on a Reason project for 5 hours.

Adderall and meth are basically the same drug. Sometimes I take a 30 XR or two and stay up all night working on one track. It gives me big ideas that are nice to work with but if I took it regularly I'm sure it would ruin me. I need sober perspective + it makes my body feel horrrrible. It also makes my muscular tics go wild, which is very painful, and I grind my teeth a lot and get super dehydrated.

I never took it for school until finals week, second semester, freshman year of college. I had a bunch of papers to write, and I realized that I didn't have enough waking hours to complete them, so I got a pile of 30 XRs off my friend and stayed up for I think 4 days straight. Basically all week. It didn't really work out at all, I still couldn't focus long enough to do the work.

I'm sure I'll take it again with more of a plan in mind but in the real world it is far from the super drug it seems to be. I am still convinced that it can lead to amazing things, but it usually just leads to scabs.

[wyatt]

i like the idea of making lists before you take it. im working on one now.

[wyatt]

i'll be sure to include "boarding hard"

How different are ritalin and adderall?

[bread]

Well, personally, Ritalin does not make me insane. Also I can eat on it and I couldn't eat on Adderall. I metabolize it faster so I take three a day, whereas with Adderall I think I only took it once a day (but it was ten years ago so I could be wrong). And Ritalin doesn't give me terrible headaches.

But yeah Adderall is definitely longer lasting, so if you hate taking pills maybe give that a shot. Or Concerta if you're prone to headaches or being a lunatic.
