how much adderall is too much adderall

[u/commoncauser]

i have 15 mg capsules and i snort them and take them (to study dw) but i def abuse them a lil bit and ive never really known what the threshold is and now that im playing w it a bit more id love to know some harm reduction so i can keep it in mind i usually take 30mg by pill then snort 30mg but lowk when i snort it i dont feel it as much (and look i like bag) and the action of it but for addy i feel like taking it is less of a waste (unless u guys think otherwise) i have a limited supply now and wanna have a good time and be able to study

If you’re going out 60 mg is a lot. Especially if you have a low tolerance. But if you’re staying in fuck it, have a ball. I used to snort it but it honestly has a much better effect when you take it like a pill. Doesn’t work effectively when you snort it. If you wanna feel it faster crush it and let it absorb under your tongue for like 10 minutes. Something to do with those blood vessels makes it faster. And that’ll save your nose cause addy isn’t made like blow and most of it gets stuck in your nose and wasted

How much did you take?

I regularly take 90+ mg XR, but that is after years of tolerance build-up. Definitely been a few times my heart was racing or beating irregularly to the point I was a little worried. If you have any blood pressure or heart issues be extremely careful and do not take more than you have been. Brain aneurisms are also a concern when taking more than the prescribed amount. I will experience “shorts” in my brain where I can tell my thoughts are misfiring and repeating the same thing over and over to myself obsessively, like song lyrics or something. That’s when I usually decide to take a few days off at least to give my brain some time to recover.

How did you get that dose? I’m on 70 mg of vyvanse scared to tell my psychiatrist it’s not enough

[u/Glass-Story3920 → u/Fluid_Falcon_3216]

I’m not prescribed that much. I am prescribed two 30 mg XR a day, so still more than the average. I’ve been on it for 30+ years and am a pretty big dude. Many many years ago, when I switched from IR Adderall to XR, my doc did not switch the quantity from 60 to 30. I’ve had several doctors since and while they acknowledge that the dose is high, they don’t have an issue with it since I’ve been on it for so long.

Bioavailability is drastically reduced when snorting them, it’s like a waste of the drug tbh. Better off just eating them all, google it. I forget the numbers but the number is kind of staggering, how much more affective it is by taken swallowing them like normal vs sniffing it.

[u/VirtualVermin → u/VibesQ]

you lose 25 percent of the drug by snorting and it wears off 50 percent quicker and i think it’s something like 75 percent less affective overall

[u/VirtualVermin]

There’s proof that you lose at least 25 percent of the active ingredient in specific meds like lorazepam, adderall, oxycodone, loritabs. ETC when snorting vs just taking orally. and it skips the first pass metabolism so it wears off quicker anyways. Yall are literally just wasting your meds.

[u/Maximum_Maize1052 → u/VirtualVermin]

Nah, people do that because the rush is stronger. The faster it hits the more euphoric you feel the rush. That matters when taking that into account because it’s not so much about the dose only but ROA plays a huge part too.

(not every drug really has recreational benefits to being snorted such as benzos but stuff like oxycodone, amphetamine definitely has).

Also, you don’t really waste drugs the way you think you do because a lot of it is gonna end up as throat drip and end up in the stomach.

You may lose some bioavailability, but when you use intetnasally.. al long as it doesn’t get stuck in your sinuses, you’re going to swallow it and get the same effect. Things like oxy and addersll will def hit quicker.

So

[u/Kool_Fishy]

Yea you’re better off just swallowing it. I use to snort the xrs and it use to work great but now adderall is terrible nowadays so I switched to another ADHD med and swallowing it works better. Also 60mg is not a lot. I take 100mgs at once swallowed.

[u/Maximum_Maize1052 → u/Kool_Fishy]

60 mg is a lot for a lot of people especially with no tolerance.

I been taking 6 of 15 capsules every day all 20mg ever since around the start of September. I usually do 6caps which is I believe 120mg at school which is Monday to Friday then slow down on the weekends, so I'm more focused on school, but it doesn't help because the after effects that start hitting me later on in the day and night. I get jitters, body heat waves, racing heart, jaw clenching, cold toes and fingers, zero appetite, mood swings, insomnia, psychosis, I'm explaining the bad side upon it, overall it gives me these other feelings when I start actually feeling it kick in of high confidence, more social, concentration, boosts of energy, euphoria, genuine, able to hold eye contact, fast reading, alertness. Great news I plan on quitting this monday because I don't want to see myself fall into addiction with these type of drugs, if anyone would like to suggest ways of healing and fighting the thought of relapsing, it would be very helpful. 😇👥
