Training on Adderall
Not sure if anyone else on here does this regularly or has any experience with it but I thought I would ask peoples opinions and get some feedback. I made one in retrospect could be considered a mistake or an error in judgment and begin receiving Scripps from a doctor for Adderall. These monthly scripts are super expensive but they are the absolute maximum dose that can be prescribed by law to adults in the U.S. Paying for the monthly office visit is a killer because he only takes cash this doctor and basically charges you a "pay to play" type of fee schedule where if you try to use insurance which he rarely excepts or don't want to pay the full office visit fee in cash you won't get the "Royal treatment."
I tried to justify using these potent performance aids, since I was legally prescribed (no matter how shady) the meds and see no reason to feel guilty using a med that has so many benefits to training. For those who don't know, your focus is a laser locked on to the task at hand and he will continually challenge yourself every step you can, you can work out much harder, longer and with more intensity and focus than u could ever muster from any other means. They last 5-6 hours, they curb ur appetite if ur dieting, and keep you locked onto your task at hand.
Bad news is the price and hassle--no doctor or psychiatrist anywhere near this area will give you a good let alone the maximum amount if you do not "pay to play." Health wise I do have constant concerns about my blood pressure or any damage I could be accruing to my heart. They are addicting at least psychologically and now every task, which are used to find enjoyable is now a chore compared to doing it without the stimulus. That's my biggest gripe beside price and hassle, is tolerance kicks in pretty fast and constantly rises up and up and makes it very difficult to maintain a stable dose and get the same effects u r used to.
I'm told the 20 mg instant release pills I take are pretty much the big bang for your buck and I am worried now that I may be coming maybe not dependent on them but enjoying the extra boost I get from them. I don't see how anyone preps for shows without such aids as the "Devils candy" give u unbelievable stamina and focus, strength gains, ability to push through fatigue and connected with that is a strong desire and focus to work extra hard and strict on auxiliary training such as abs, rotator cuff rehab, abs and waist, intense cardio, etc. etc. Couple that with the appetite suppression properties, in weeks u r leaner than possible naturally and kept/gained muscle cuz you will train constantly.
With all that good stuff, it's hard to go back to training w/o this rocket booster; in fact, the argument to myself is why I should train anyway without them?!? If I'm achieving super results both physically and mentally (hard drive to grind hard, intensity in training, focus, clarity under fire, not to mention the incredible pumps to have your veins sticking out all over your physique!
I went on a 2 to 3 week binge I guess you may call it, and after trying all sorts of traditional methods of losing weight such as double cardio sessions low carbs strict diet and any other over-the-counter supplement to help, I was losing zero way and in the worst shape of my life. Those couple weeks I lived like a militant warrior and with the crotch of the Adderall neglected bad diet decisions and train harder and cardio and weight than ever.
So that's my story and that's why I'm trying to figure out a reason why I shouldn't you something that so clearly benefits the person an athlete??? The reasons I would like to quit a cut Bank drastically is as I said earlier it is an expensive endeavor not to mention that I really do not think it was a smart idea to pair Adderall with the sports I loved w/o any need to a booster, it's almost like classical conditioning type in the sense of activities now are lackluster to me to participate in without the boost from the meds ☹️ . So in order not to be trapped into a situation where I do not enjoy my workouts without meds, I need to at the very least drop dosages and amounts used to every other day and wean myself down.
Anyone else here on the board have any great experience with Adderall and care to share your opinion? Just wonder how you started it, when you noticed it affects focus your concentration on your fitness, and if you experienced any negative side effects or issues by staying on the drugs? Do you think the downside outweighed the good side? Did the hassle and financial pressures of paying for doctors and scripts, plus going to the right pharmacies over and over again every month to get something u have to work so hard for?
A lot of opinions on different boards offer completely different advice, such as taper down and take holiday where u r off, do not use the meds every day, and stagger your usage and dosages to keep u away from the max. Although in hindsight, I would recommend the average person, never starts because it is something we will all have to pay for with doc bills, script bills, missing work to make it to appointments, etc. etc.
I am considering getting ready the 15 or 20 or so I got left, maybe flush them down toilet. They r the big 20 mg Instant Release, so know games, some dudes crush and snort them, others boil them and inject them. It's may be a slightly dangerous drug, shame it works so well to get you completely ripped and in shape in a matter of weeks improve your energy focus your thoughts improve your mood and just make you an animal period.
Any advice or opinions appreciated, I think I'm gonna stay on, there's nothing like the feeling of being pumped full of test and feeling your strongest and let a drug like Adderall give you a laser focus and keep u sharp for days. Good luck all anything I can share message me please!!!!
