View Full Version : 1.8 grams in just over a month ikgbixcal 11-18-08, 07:02 AM wat tha hells wrong with me SuzzanneX 11-18-08, 09:00 AM nothing. ...you're blossoming beautifully into a drug addict. keep up the good work, and you can have a tolerance like mine. ...120 mlgrms a day,could kill a horse, and is a fleeting moment of clarity for me, and then, i go to sleep. Tominal 11-18-08, 01:10 PM Probably time for a med vacation. Use the time for a lot of physical exercise + good nutrition, and look into tolerance reversal strategies such as partial NMDA antagonists and/or supplements that give the body what it needs to build more dopamine (w/doctor approval, of course). If/when you restart the meds, work hard to take the lowest possible dose needed to do what needs doing that day. Whenever circumstances permit you to feel a little "off," take advantage of it and don't take meds that day (again, subject to doctor consultation of course). Tolerance sucks, -tom Howard_C 11-18-08, 01:33 PM Ikxy - please stop flirting with destruction. 4,000 mg Wellbutrin (!), 1.8 grams (!) When all is said and done, your cleaver little mind is gong to be very black and blue. There are joys to be found in this world, and within your own psyche, but you aren't going to be able tap into them with drugs while still avoiding the harshness of their aftermath. If the world around you is too dismal, try to peer into the future a bit - a future where you will have more choices and more opportunities. When you get to that future, wouldn't it be nice to be able to enjoy it? This self-abuse is like "cutting" - eventually the cutting itself creates a desire to cut some more - because the process will make you hate yourself. Stop now. Get some help. There are friends in this world that you haven't met yet. Do it for them if you don't feel able to do it for yourself. amu_d 11-18-08, 01:39 PM 1.8 grams of adderall in over a month? What's wrong with that? 1800mg/35 = 51mg/day. 50 mg of adderall a day is normal. If you take three doses: 50/3 = 17mg of adderall each dose. chartreuse 11-18-08, 02:35 PM 1.8 grams of adderall in over a month?

That's what I was thinking too, but my math sucks and I didn't want to embarrass myself if I was way off. Even if it was just a month, you're still only talking 60 mg a day, which it seems a lot of people take. Is there a backstory that would make this more alarming? SuzzanneX 11-18-08, 04:54 PM I can't count, disregard my post. ADHDNEWB 11-18-08, 04:58 PM I can't count, disregard my post. LOL.. :cool: GL3NE 11-18-08, 05:15 PM That's pretty steep. Just seems like a rather high daily dose, in my opinion. I do agree that you should go on a "drug holiday." Even three or four days would be beneficial for both the benefits of the medication and your addiction. Furthermore, try a dosage reduction for when you start up again. If you can get through even just three days off Adderall (with its addictive tendencies in mind), you probably wouldn't feel the effects of being on a lesser dose. Ask your doctor, of course. :) - Glen Captain Sanity 11-18-08, 05:45 PM it's easy to want to take it 12 times a day but since you need it, you should try your best not to develop a big tolerance. ikgbixcal 11-18-08, 06:31 PM disregard this whole post. lol im a little on the slower side of life. ^_^ ikgbixcal 11-18-08, 06:33 PM thanks for everyone. now be nice and return the favor or you'll have a bad dream tonight. Howard_C 11-19-08, 10:55 AM No good deed goes unpunished. But really, take care of yourself. Forget about your "future friends", you'll probably grow a little tired of them anyway :rolleyes: - think of your "future self." (but what are you dropping - 180 mg ?) Tominal 11-19-08, 12:43 PM I can't count, disregard my post. ditto. No math here--none. :cool: |
