the euphoric high also happens in those with ADHD but only when they first start taking it. I would assume if you took it recreationally and not consistently you would have the same effect
- drzaiusx11 1y agoMy problem is I forget to take my Adderall. I've also experienced shortages in my area for 3+ months. When I eventually start back on my meds after a long hiatus, it seems to work just like it did when I stopped. I could use some more euphoria in my life, sadly Adderall does not provide it (for me.)
- notfromhere 1y agoEh. When you take it the first time the euphoria is more that you can focus and the mind becomes quieter. It’s not like a party drug
- pantalaimon 1y agoThe euphoria from amphetamine (in reasonable doses) is also rather subtle - it's no MDMA where it's very much in your face. But lifted mood and energy is why it's taken recreationally, the euphoria can then come what you make from that.
- lazide 1y agoOne neurotypical I know who took 20mg of Adderall IR ended up going into a hyperfocused ‘can’t look away from the road’ 12+ hour road trip without stopping and couldn’t sleep for 3 days afterwards. An ADHD’er I know who did the same thing, took a nap instead, and then actually started their taxes. These are not the same thing.
- FreezerburnV 1y agoNot doubting you but… how? Adderall leaves your system in like 4 hours. The half life is crazy short and it’s extremely noticeable when it happens. I don’t understand how someone would fail to sleep for 3 days, or even hyper focus for 12 hours, when the drug is going to be completely gone from their system and not affecting them a fraction of the time into that period. Are you sure it wasn’t something else or they didn’t take more doses or other things?
- notfromhere 1y agoDrug responses can be weird. Plus if you’ve been told this will make you manic and hyperfocused, your body will respond accordingly even if biochemically that doesn’t make a lot of sense.
- lazide 1y agoThat’s what they described.
- olyjohn 1y agoExtended release. Those fucking things would keep me up for 3 days. If I take a the same dose of instant release, it'll be worn off at the end of the day and I'll sleep like a log. They say it wears off in 4 hours, but a single dose keeps working all day for me. Depends on how you metabolize it.
- shlant 1y agoI got some 10mg Dexedrine Spansule's when I usually take normal 5mg's and I didn't sleep until 4am :(
