Any of you guys take adderall?
« on: January 17, 2009, 02:32:24 PM »
I have been taking it for about a month and lost about 10 pounds, which is fine I had put on weight anyway. Why don't more people take it for weight loss? Bad side effects? Also, I can get Provigil and Adipex, anyone ever take those? My Doc won't give me a script for any of these, so they are kind of pricey and wanted some feedback from people who workout, don't feel like going to one of those drug addict forums and asking crackheads opinions. I was thinking of doing something like 5 days taking Aderall, 2 off, then switching to one of the other ones, 5 on and 2 off etc. My tolerance goes through the roof if I take the same thing for an extended period of time. Not sure if this is the right forum, but hopefully one of you guys have tried these.

If your not prescribed it dont use it. Its an amphetamine so of course you can drop pounds on it as it cutts appetite but it also cutts into muscle mass. I get shitloads of concerta 36's legally but I dont ue it just sits in  medicine shelf. its covered by insurance thats the only reason I fill the script.

Danny,  do you think taking adderall is better for you than any other rec drug?  Sometimes I think rec drugs are less harmful in the long run.

Take a look at these, there's more but I don't know how much of it is available on the internet right now.:

What Psychologists and Therapists Need To Know About ADHD and Stimulants
http://www.breggin.com/whatpsychologists.pbreggin.2000.pdf

Cortical atrophy in young adults with a history of hyperactivity in childhood.
A computed tomographic (CT) brain scan study was conducted in 24 young males treated and followed up for hyperactivity since childhood. Compared to 27 matched controls, adults with a history of hyperactivity had a significantly greater frequency of cerebral atrophy. No differences in cerebellar atrophy frequency or in lateral cerebral ventricle-to-brain ratio (VBR) were found. The possible associations of hyperactivity or perhaps stimulant drug treatment to atrophic brain changes are discussed.

(There's far more, but I thought I'd share them with you in the meantime.)

Thanks for the replies. Maybe I will just use them every once in a while, I have to think about it. How about Provigil? Supposed to be less addicting and lasts 12 hours. Has anyone tried it?

Provigil is probably the mildest "brain stim" that you can find.  I don't count adipex/obinex/fastin/phentermine because that is just unrefined garbage.

Focalin is a bit stronger than Provigil and will not have an affect on your appetite.   Vyvnase is stronger still, way stronger than Focalin and it won't affect your appetite.

Adderall is stronger than Vyvnase and will definately hurt your eating.  But if you simply MUST use it, get the XR compound, the regular tabs only give you a seesaw effect throughout the day with their short half lifes.  The XR will last most of the day.  If you take it at 7am, it will last until about 5PM.  Vyvnase lasts just as long but without the sudden crash.  You don't drop, instead you just mellow out.

this is a terrible idea. just take clen. cheaper and more effective and you won't get addicted to it. i took adderall to study for finals in college, it is a drug. you can get addicted to it. 5 days on, 2 days off.. seriously?

in addition to all this, it's going to cut into muscle mass.

I havw taken adderall before for a short period of time. I do not have add, and only took it because I was working on a project and my level of concentration was amazing. I did loose weight as well. Since adderall is an amphetamine sulfite tab. it decreases appetite, and increases your core body temp. causing a thermogenic affect. Weight loss is an actual condition that adderall can be prescribed for, but this rarely if ever happens, but doctors are very well aware that weight loss is a side effect.
With that said, Adderall can be a great Medication, not "drug". However, if you don't have add, I would only use it for a specific purpose, project, a test, etc. But Never over a prolonged period of time. There are better ways to lose weight. And your body develops a tolerance to the adderall. Since you are taking it for it's clinical purpose, this will lead to you increasing your dose. When this starts to happen a Very common side effect is an extreme change in the persons mood. It won't happen right away, but over time you will become edgy, and not want to tolerate other people. Also, when you increase the dose to get the same effect you fall into an "overkill" state, and rather than gain concentration, you will lose it.
Hope that helped. Enjoy the weight loss, but you're better off with clen. or t-4 for that. As for the mental effects of the adderall, enjoy them when it is needed only. Unless you were prescribed adderall by your psychiatrist. In that case, it should be needed, and also should be taken daily, not 5 on 2 off. And if that's the case I would look into the new long acting adderall rather than the fast acting that most people take.
Best of luck.

Provigil is God"s gift to the world! That's why the military gives it to their pilots and soldiers all over the world!  I've been taking for about 2 months now, and its awesome. Say you only have 2 hours to sleep...take provigil right before you sleep and when you wake up you will feel like you slept for a hundred years. It also improves meomory and brain function.

My insurance covers it at $40 per month for any dose. If I do the mail order prescription thing than it's even cheaper...I think its like $30 per month, dont remember. Most doctors will prescribe it for off label use for shift work. I'll I did was tell him I  was working two jobs with crazy hours changing all the time....and I need provigil. Say you have no health problems or history of drug abuse, and it's a done deal. It's incredible. It makes you more alert and functionable than ephedrine and adderal, but no jittery or anxiousness at all. I usally take it when I wake up and toward the end of the day take a caffine pill and it jumps start the provigil again and I feel even better than in the begginng of the day. Also I recommend taking an asprin a few hours after you take provigil the first few days......I didn't get a headache but My head felt different, but after the aspirin I felt great!

I quit them last Sunday. When I started taking them, I would split a 30 mg. pill in half and take half in the morning and half at lunchtime. A week later I needed double. After a month or so I was taking 8 a day, fuck that. I'll stick to ephedrine.

I have tried Ritalin and it does work.

No experience with Adderall, however.

I took 240 mgs. last Saturday. I had to quit them, my tolerance for drugs is different than most peoples. I was tired for a few days afterwards, just took 24 tabs of ephedrine to get me through.

I am not sure. I drink about 5 nights a week, only 2 nights excessively usually. I take sedatives, Xanax or Valium, but not that much really. Usually 10 mgs. of Valium or 1 mg. of Xanax at night. I take ephedrine as well, but that's about it. Is that excessive?

Really? Most people have a few drinks at night and the Doc prescribes me sedatives. Seems normal to me.
