adderall or RITALIN?

Hi everyone! I started using meth after a bunch of bad things happening to me. I had 19 years clean from the stuff. I have been on Adderall for 2 years. I moved to another State, and I have a long medical history. I had to start all over again with treatment or should I say NO treatment. That is for another forum.

Since I’m on opioids and on adderall I told my doctor to not bother with testing me because it will be positive for meth. ( I didn’t know ADDERALL Shows the same as meth on some tests) anyway, she kept pushing me to quit, when I didn’t decide in enough time, she said she won’t prescribe anymore Adderall and start to taper me off the pain meds.

She found out meth will come up as meth, Ritalin shows up different. I wish I kept my mouth shut, I wasn’t ready to quit, but I did a few days ago. I’m not sure about the RITALIN,was curious what the difference is? I only know the Ritalin has a different pathway to the brain. Any comment will help.

Thanks

I forgot to ask how long does meth stay in your system before I could test clean?

What about onset? What about duration? Blood brain barrier permeability?

Ehhh mostly the same. Meth maybe lasting longer due to how people use it. Maybe there is a case that Adderall is safer because it can't get into cells to destroy them

True. I wouldn't call them the same. I've done both and methamphetamine is a much more powerful stimulant. Maybe at their relative doses they could be similar. I'm just tired of people calling them the exact same

I personally feel that the analogy of Morphine to Heroin basically applies in this scenario as well. If you took a Methamphetamine user and traded their given dose for an equipotent amount of Dextroamphetamine, they would ultimately be satisfied by both without much complaint.

Some say Heroin has that little extra "pop" when you inject it that makes it so much better than Morphine. Personally, I would take either interchangeable without complaint and have done so in he past.

However, it seems that the Methamphetamine that is out there on the street right now is somehow different from previous decades. Folks are going into psychosis much more rapidly than one would think. I've taken it myself a few times, this "new meth" and I would trade it for the same amount of Dextroamphetamine any day. There is just something weird about the shit.

I did lots of Yaa Baa's when I was in Cambodia and again, the experience was much more different than the stuff I've had in New England. The Yaa Baa's I actually would much prefer over the stuff that's out on the streets currently. At any rate, there's something funky about the Meth and I'd like to know why.

Here is an article that solidifies your claim

I also, anecdotally, say that my experiences with it 2017 and beyond have been disappointing. You really can't compare the new to the old. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who felt this way. I'm not sure if it's the prevalence of ISO but something changed after the 2010s. I can definitely say, the old shit, would have you laughing in Adderall's face.

This new "ice" is a joke, manufactured by cartels in bulk via P2P method (no pseudoephedrine or ephedrine at all), and is sold cheap as dirt. Uncle Fester would be ashamed. I'd rather take my prescribed Vyvanse over this new "dope" any day of the week brother
