I've played 90 minute soccer games one day every weeked, with two 90 minute training sessions in the midweek, and i've been fine, but then again I go out of my way not to take my adderall every day, strictly only on the odd day where i feel it might help a bit. I've got every confidence it shouldn't be a problem, but if you feel your heart pumping too fast just stop, and stay hydrated as much as you can. Chadwick 07-04-05, 12:05 PM I try not to dose adderall right before an athletic event. Hyperion 07-04-05, 01:00 PM I've done 90 minute TaeKwonDo workouts while on Adderall before, as we work out in the early evenings on weekdays, times when I'd be on it anyways for school. I hasn't caused any serious problems for me, but I'm also still young (23), with no heart or blood pressure problems. I do find that I need to drink plenty of fluids, though, as it is much easier to become dehydrated. smithxi 07-04-05, 03:29 PM i can tell it hurts my body, especially my heart, but i sometimes take a little before soccer games because it helps me to play better, and think clearer on the field, and see plays, etc. I'm only taking 5mg before games, but still. i know it's bad and i shouldn't. it's something i have to change, i think. your thoughts? yeah, i'm playing soccer also. Chadwick 07-04-05, 04:40 PM This is a personal decision and you'll have to do what's comfortable for you. smithxi 07-04-05, 04:44 PM true. |
