I popped them like skittles while I was in school, but kind of weaned off them since I've been working, save for the occasional all nighter

However, I got fat, and my energy was just shot in the mornings, so I started back up this past Monday

and the results have been immediately noticeable...I'm losing weight, only need 4 hours of sleep, more energy, more productive, less money on food, and I get drunk easier

there is that inevitable 3 oclock crash everyday to deal with, but it only lasts for a half hour or so, than I'm right back at it

Anyone else here take adderall on a regular basis who's not in school and is in an office 8-10 hours a day ?

I was afraid it would make me jumpy and jittery, which could be a problem since I'm on the phone a lot, but so far, so good

how does it feel to be doing speed you tweaker you

3/25/2009 9:40:02 AM

well I never did crack but occasionally do coke recreationally and there's really no comparison



[Edited on March 25, 2009 at 9:43 AM. Reason : never did speed either, in the technical sense of the word]

3/25/2009 9:41:36 AM

I quit the adderall and supplement with coffee.

3/25/2009 9:42:45 AM

3/25/2009 9:42:46 AM

notice an increase in sweating?

3/25/2009 9:46:19 AM

damn I took adderall once and it did nothing really.

never even seen crack or coke, but Mt. dew and coffee keep my going.

you people are druggies!!!

you do it every day just about it seems, what do you think adderall is? (i assume that you do not have a valid prescription for it)

Ride the ssnaaaake

3/25/2009 9:49:02 AM

Yeah I used to be prescribed it during school--unfortunately I can't go more than 3-4 days without sleeping 6-7 hours each night or I'll end up sick as fuck.

Needless to say I was sick after most exam weeks

3/25/2009 9:49:44 AM

no sweating

slight increase in heart rate, more than normal, when I'm doing things that would normally make me nervous

(trying to close a big deal, talking to a pretty girl, mooning someone in public, etc.)

but thats to be expected

3/25/2009 9:50:03 AM

I have a subscription for XR but trade them for the quick hitter immediate release ones

3/25/2009 9:51:49 AM

i don't need drugs to be productive

3/25/2009 9:54:09 AM

you'd be a lot cooler if you did

3/25/2009 9:54:41 AM

taking drugs to be cool is kinda pathetic, don't you think? bah, what am i talking about, you don't think!

3/25/2009 9:55:11 AM

I actually can't tell people here that I'm taking it because we have a loose no hard drug policy (weed and whippits are fine) after a guy here went to rehab for smack last year...amphetamine salts are a no no

so I'm not taking adderall to be cool

but I do smoke weed to be cool

I take Adderall daily...and have a valid prescription for it, lots of psych evaluation, testing, etc.

Probably one of the few people that REALLY need the stuff. Mentally, I'm all over the place if I don't. It actually settles me, allows me to concentrate. I can even take two or three times my prescribed amount, and almost never get any rush or jitters.

Once, I made the mistake of taking my morning dose with a sugar free Red Bull. I thought my heart was gonna jump out of my chest.

3/25/2009 10:20:46 AM

I'd stick with XRs. You're an adult and shit.

3/25/2009 10:24:12 AM

I used to get nervous speaking in front of large crowds, but I've sense overcome it not that I've gotten my reps

I got no sleep the night before a symposium last year and was sweating like a slave when I had to make a 40 minute speech about the Foreign Exchange Market in front of about 300 people

My heart was beating like a hummingbird...I seriously thought I was going to faint

Not saying it matters either way but I'd do some reading just to better familiarize yourself with what you're putting in your body. Ritalin is an amphetamine salt, Adderall IS an amphetamine with only a molecule's difference from cocaine. I'm not trying to dissuade you from taking them, they're very useful for some people, just don't want you to think you're not on speed because that's exactly what addy's are

3/25/2009 10:27:50 AM

Yeah, and come on, the extended release action is perfect for an office setting where you're going at it for a while each day. And plus it's what your prescription is for.

So why not just keep it legal?

[Edited on March 25, 2009 at 10:36 AM. Reason : I'm just jealous.]

3/25/2009 10:31:08 AM

I scoff at drugs to be cool.

3/25/2009 10:39:47 AM

XR is like sipping a pinot noir over the course of several hours

AD is like chugging a 40 at 9 AM

Its more fun

True. So just take both. I've got XR's and salts.

3/25/2009 11:07:02 AM

never saw the allure of adderall...most people our age worship the shit

i know a couple people who truly struggle to function without it...if they don't take it, they can't focus on much at all

strangely, a lot of them are artists...musical, sculpture, paint/charcoal/etc...they can't do math or anything unless they're on adderall, but they can work for hours, borderline manic, on their art

weird how the mind works

you don't seem to realize that the XR and IR versions both have the same pharmacokinetic profile (at least initially).

you still get the immediate "hit" when you take the XR... the difference is that it maintains serum levels over a longer period of time. the IR is a one shot deal.

anything you're feeling to the contrary is most likely placebo effect.

i take a 30mg XR when i first wake up in the morning to actually wake me up and it lasts until around 1pm or so, then I take a 10mg IR prn until i go home.

3/25/2009 12:33:35 PM

I understand the basic chemical differences

The main reason I don't like the XRs is that I have trouble falling asleep that night

with the others, they're completely worn off by bedtime

3/25/2009 12:35:48 PM

Aww, sipping on that pinot messes up your precious sleep cycle.

AHA

But, seriously, sell me some of your drugs, please.

3/25/2009 12:38:49 PM

someone needs to sell Bridgit a some sleeping pills and a fucking gag ball

3/25/2009 12:50:01 PM

AHAHAHA WTF, B?

Alright, I'll leave. I got moves to make.

Holla!

3/25/2009 12:53:34 PM

1. open
2. crush
3.
4. profit

3/25/2009 1:36:42 PM

tried that but didn't notice any stronger high

plus I couldn't crush them fine enough and the chunks would get caught in my nostrils
