What do you guys think about adderall? I know most people only did them in college to get papers done and study and everyone had at least one friend who had a script. But now that your older (talking to people 30 years and older mostly) Assuming you have access to them. Do you use it occasionally for specific reasons like a super busy day, busy day at work like needing to get an important project done? Any coders here use it for important projects or whatever? Basically do you ever use it for certain occasions and only once in a blue moon? Or do any of you guys just like the feeling and take em whenever you are able to get them for the "high"? I never really liked them that much back in college, i'd only take them occasionally to study or get a paper/project done. Now that I am older I recently took a whole one, as I have a stock pile of the 30mg IRs that I've had for awhile, for the first time in probably 10+ years. And wow it definitely worked. But its only good when I'm actually doing something, like with other people, at work or wherever. If I am just at home on my computer I'll find myself just randomly researching random shit and going down rabbit holes on whatever topic im researching instead of actually doing the work on my computer I meant to do when taking it. Anyways do ya'll nerds like this stuff and if so how much do you take when you do take it? Yesterday was the first time I took a whole 30mg IR, before that the most i took was 1/4 a pill (7.5mgs). I mostly have used them if I need to wake up really early and know i wont get enough sleep so i'll set my alarm 1 hour before i gotta get up and pop 7.5mgs go back to bed for an hour and by the time my alarm goes off the dextro-amphetamine should be kicked in for a smooth wake up.
TL;DR: Do you ever take adderall? If so what situations in your life do you use it for?
Amphetamines are useful for working and doing tasks. However, a society where amphetamine usage is required is unsustainable. I didn't read your blog post by the way.
>>944201977What’s your dosage? I have tried 7.5mg and it made me feel super weird and I took a nap twelve hours later. I feel like taking a whole 30 would break me.Not experienced with stimulants. Coffee makes me tired.
The thing is: it can obviously fuck your sleep schedule up and if you cant sleep you're severely undermining your cognition more than the adderal enhances it. So just be careful that you actually are receiving benefits from it. Drugs like this make it easy to delude yourself because they essentially make everything feel rewarding. Boring work = rewarding. Being sleep deprived and masking it = still rewarding. If you have access to an apple watch or oura ring you could track your sleep to make sure it isn't impacted. Otherwise, stimulants are far less damaging than a lot of psychiatric medications (with the added benefit of them being easier to get off should you stop needing them.)
>>944201977I don't blame you. lol but what you said is basically the same thing I said in my "blog post" except you said it in one sentence. I rarely use them except for specific reasons, sometimes.
I want some becuase they make erections physically impossible.
>>94420205530mg of amphetamine is a large dosage. Way too much without an extended release mechanism. >coffee makes me tiredAdrenal fatigue. Lay off the stress and stimulants.
>>944202956Is redosing or microdosing theu the day an option or will that just fuck my sleep further?I felt no benefits. What do you mean by severely undermining my cognition?
>>944203281When I was trying meds for my ADHD most of the ones I tried didn't help. Adderal was like just feeling high but I didn't want to do anything. Ritalin felt weak and sketchy. Even tried some stimulating anti-depressants before finally settling on dextromethylphenidate. Really such an under rated drug. Maybe you just need to find different meds? apparently stims are like 85% effective for people with adhd.For sleep: sleep deprivation is similar to being drunk. It has such huge effects on people that if you consistently experience sleep deprivation it can cause psychiatric symptoms that look similar to if you had a mood disorder. ADHD meds are god tier if you can sleep on them
>>944204012Amphetamine isn't a daily supplement. It's an as needed. If you are told you need to be on amphetamine daily, then there are other underlying issues that need to be addressed.
>>944201897I just assume if you take adderall then you’re a fucking retard
>>944201897Dumb and in college, bumped one off of a dresser at some random dorm room party.Drinking all night, 4am, can't sleep, staring at the drop ceiling trying to count all of the holes in the texture pattern. Drunk as absolute piss but can't pass out. Last time I ever did Adderall.
>>944204365You’re retarded and niggers shoupd slam your hole
>>944204460I said dumb and in college, what more do you want from me?
>>944204532More attention, presumably
>>944201897Don't do it m8.i was prescribed adderall by a doctor and that shit made my blood pressure shoot up to 180/90. it will literally fuck up your kidneys
>>944202117Bingo. Grabbed a bottle of these in college and went from "wow I'm overachieving every day" to "wow I can't even think straight because I haven't slept in 3 days, my balls hurt and I'm having a manic episode where I think my testicle has twisted and I go to the ER only to be given ativan and told to go home". Embarassing shit.
>>944204283That's why I'm rich and you're poor, because I'm a retard that does adderall.
>>944204365Adderall isn't meant for people who stare at walls like a fuckwit, it's meant for people who have potential lol
Those specifically are very commonly faked with meth and caffeine. Don't say anon never endorsed harm reduction.
>>944201897I’m prescribed 15mg IRs. Experience differs based on manufacturer but here’s the gist on my primary manufacturer (Elite)- it’s a stimulant. Like another user said, it makes boring things more rewarding, meaning focus is easier. I still get sidetracked constantly, but the energy and memory enhancement allows me to get everything done anyway. - I do experience a high for the first three hours. I’m happier, more talkative, and more outgoing/socially uninhibited. After this wears off- with the better generic brands, I don’t feel a crash. Usually, if I’m productive during the “high,” I can sustain a “phantom effect” all day and be focused and productive all day. If I squander the first 3-4 hours, though, I am completely back to normal.- for me, as long as I take it 10 hours before bed, it does not interrupt my sleep. However generally if I take it less than 9 hours before bed I end up going to bed a couple hours later. - sex: negligible impact on boner or arousal. - combinations: Adderall + Weed: This brings out the worst of each drug imo. Not a fan.Adderall + LSD was cool the two times I tried it. Adderall + Alcohol: very cool, but not particularly worth the impact on sleep. A 2-3mg bump or two are great, though.
>>944209470are you a coffee drinker and do you drink those on adderal?
>>944202055bro I've blown 20 10mgs in a day up my snozzerdid it a few times buying my friend's sister's script from her for 20 bucks.
>>944201897If I listen to my doctor and use them regularly I lose weight and try not to punch things as much. Really took me quiet a few years before I realized that. I'd either do them once and stop taking them, or save them up and do a shitload at once and really doing a lot of it I didn't get high or anything I wondered why people even like this stuff at all I'd just stay up all night playing video games and then couldn't sleep the next days and played video games all night.
>>944209637Yes, thanks for the reminder. I don’t drink coffee but I take caffeine pills. Caffeine + Adderall is a top-tier combo. Probably my favorite of all the ones listed. I don’t combine them much anymore, but back when I was in school it made me feel like a cognitive God. Nowadays I try to alternate stimulants and mostly stick to 3 days of Adderall and 2 days of Caffeine per week. I prefer to have no tolerance so the drugs have consistent effects. If I take Adderall more than a couple days in a row I lose the high.
>>944209908I mean, if you’re doing nothing of value you’re just wasting the drug. No wonder you don’t get it. Not only does being productive on amphetamines provide you with enduring satisfaction, it also actively makes the experience much more fun.
>>944201897Honestly OP, dont do it. I started with addys in college and eventually got addicted to stims because of it. Things got fucking bad for a few years and ended up having to go to rehab. Thankfully been clean for 5+ years but those were some brutal years, and I consider myself extremely lucky for having made it out
>>944210150Actually maybe I was punching stuff more; I kinda remembered it was more or less punching either way, no biggy what's done is done. Might of been one of those times they tried making me do but that might have been the antidepressants that actually made me feel buzzed. Getting buzzed usually doesn't want to make me punch people more being hung over can sometimes so it probably wasn't the depressants. I just don't think it's a drug for me unless a doctor prescribes it and I try to follow it to the letter.
