Adderall days

[flimsy]

They have their own metric. But yeah, you're right.

[lockheed]

my mother is right now meeting up with my grandma in a k-mart parking lot to hand off a full script of adderall so my grandma can drop it off to me at work, where my grandma also just got a job in a different department. the adderall was prescribed to my little sister, but my mom doesn't want to give it to her, so she's passing it along to me.

not only did i play it cool and acted like i wasn't totally in love with speed, but i pretty much convinced her it was a miracle drug and now she wants to get her own script. and this is a mother who has pretty much never taken drugs.

i'm about to go cold turkey after approximately 15 years of daily use. it all goes down this coming sunday. took the week off of work and bought a plane ticket to my mom's crib. this is going to fucking suck.

[wyatt]

are there really withdrawals for prolonged use? i for the last year i have been prescribed some and i only take it when i need it. i can go a weeks off of it with no problems.

[pink snake]

you're safe wyatt. the most common side effect that i'm aware of and the one that i fear the most is lethargy.

[Locke]

yeah and sometimes your brain doesn't really work for a while but that can be fun

[pink snake]

my plan is to sleep for a week and then see where i'm at. i'm nervous about returning to work post-adderall. a lot of it has to do with fear of change, but there's obviously a huge chemical component as well.

[dookdook]

have heard from my GP that adderall "generics" don't seem to behave the same for everyone- he wrote a letter to my insurance to get them to pay for name brand vs. generic. name-brand also isn't out of stock all the time.

[husbands]

pink snake why don't you taper off

also enjoy feeling the subtleties of emotion again once you're in the clear

[pink snake]

i don't have the ability to dole them out to myself systematically like that. i don't have the willpower. i could do it if someone guarded my pills and gave me one at the proper intervals...and slowly taper down. but, that's not really feasible.

[pink snake]

well, just got a script for wellbutrin to hopefully make the transition easier.

[Spartacus]

i am considering taking about 5mg before the civilian military combine on saturday. that might be considered cheating.

[pink snake]

5mg. so innocent. so beautiful.

[rex]

Some new guy with "dook" in his name posting in a thread about prescription drugs makes me sad

[sleigh]

first all-nighter in forever, adderall-fueled.

taking enough to get me to really knock shit out fucks me up so much though, i become a shivering, sweating wreck. ugh oh well

[mattstan]

I went to a doctor to talk about how I feel my attention span and distractibility has been holding me back in school and at work since I was a teenager. I'd never been to a shrink, school counselor, or so much as talked to a teacher outside of class; I think I inherited some kind of old-world bootstraps-y pride from my family (hella counterproductive). He told me to read a book, and come back to him in a few weeks with thoughts on how much I could relate to its contents. At my second appointment I showed him the book; every fourth or fifth page was dog-eared to mark this or that "holy crap that's me" moment. I didn't bring up meds but kind of expected the discussion to go in that direction. He told me to try to structure my daily activities more, and come back to him in a few weeks to report how it was working. That was two years ago.

ive been taking 5-10mg once or twice a week now and its been great. im sure its been discussed frequently in this thread but im really thinking of going to someone and just telling them "hey i took some and it worked" to say the least. ive spoken to a few years ago and they didnt do much or gave me straterra which put me to sleep for some reason. not sure if the "hey i did it illegally but it was great!" path is a good one to take

[Beyerstein]

grammatron said that his favorite part of the ted nugent concert was when he shot his bow and arrow

[lockheed]

I don't think that is a particularly wise way to go about it l.ambient unless you have already established a strong rapport with your physician.

i dunno, i think i favor using drug dealers and keeping a low stock over getting a ton of pills from a dr. im real terrified of using amphetamines every day tho

step 1: get addy script
step 2: hang around college campus around finals (now)
step 3: ???
step 4: profit

[douchechill]

i can't exactly confirm this, but i'm pretty confident that gehrig industries has secured enough money over the years to avoid peddling prescription meds to college students

[street hustler slokra]

its never about the money, i believe it's about the hustle if i'm not mistaken

[Spoilt Victorian Child]

are there really withdrawals for prolonged use? i for the last year i have been prescribed some and i only take it when i need it. i can go a weeks off of it with no problems.

I've been off of it for about two months because my GP's been a pain in the ass about it. I don't think I experienced any withdrawal. (Or if I did it's lasted two months.)

[street hustler slokra]

to have withdrawal you need to take it like every day for an extended period of time, not every once in a while as you need it for an extended period of time

[Spoilt Victorian Child]

Yeah I'd been taking it every day for an extended period of time.

[G_S]

okay that's it I'm calling this girl who sells even though she's profoundly annoying. want it BAD

[rivalité]

the pharmacy gave me an adderall substitute and i'm not sure how well it's working (taking every day as prescribed). it's difficult to tell, though, because i've been sick since i've been on it and i've been taking an assortment of other medication.

[douchechill]

you know you took enough adderall when you don't have time to go poop because you're too busy writing a paper

[medicore bob dole gimmick]

reading this thread sends me straight to the depressed thread
