My dear friend John came by about an hour and a half ago and gave me 20mg Adderall, those meth- and dextroamphetamines are 'the bomb'. Hard to imagine they give this to kids, it surely does improves your concentration but I don't beleive it would be healthy to be on it for extended periods of time. However it does seem to help my backaches. I don't think doctors ever prescribe it for this reason but it actually gets me off my behind to do stuff. Usually I try to avoid doing things when i'm in pain...
Well that's it,
If you like to know more about me goto:

It surely feels different from caffeine, feels like you have a hudge amount of spare energy, you feel motivated to clean, work, do things, and all this seems to be without any effort. Deffenitly an experience of a lifetime, last pretty much all day but the best feeling subsides after about 4 hours.. Dave, go get yourself some and try for yourself.

Of course you feel good. Adderall/amphetamines are very recreational.I don't beleive that they are suitable antidepressants, however. And yes,they are neurotoxic, and tolerance builds quickly (and possibly irreversibly).

I guess about 6 hours or so, maybe more. It surprised me that way.

}}If you are snorting crank, maybe. I don't recreate on Adderall. Do you only see them as 'very recreational' drugs?
I don't beleive that they are suitable antidepressants, however.
}}Actually, I think they were some of the first AD's. Do you also believe Adderall should not be used for AD augmentation? Say, with Celexa?
And yes,they are neurotoxic, and tolerance builds quickly (and possibly irreversibly).}}Can you back that up? I've searched PubMed and the abstracts that I have read refute everything you've said. What do you mean by irreversable? That you can't stop?
}}They are not neurotoxic unless, again, you are snorting crank. Ritalin is not neurotoxic in the doses used. Maybe if you are snorting large amounts but the psychopharmacologist I see has never recommended snorting.

There's something weird here. It wasn't confirming my post but it sure went thru.

Phil, if in doubt whether it went through, right-click on the previous post & open in new window. If it went through, you'll see your post at the bottom. Even on a fast cable modem, this site can load VERY slowly. If it does that, I always right click to check if it went through & if it did, just go on to the next post & don't bother waiting for the confirm to show up.
This is the end of the thread.
