Adderall

[Back2Good]

I have never tried real @ddys. Are they worth the money? Seem awfully expensive so I'm just wondering how alert they make one feel?

Depends on the dosage and the release method (and your body mass).  Remember, Adderall is nothing but legally formulated, packaged, and prescribed amphetamine salts:

20mg Adderall IR (Instant Release) won't just make you feel "alert" - The first few times you take it you'll feel like you're about to jump out of your skin - It isn't so much "alertness" as it is hyper-stimulation.  You'll lose your appetite completely, and if you aren't at work, where you can concentrate on tasks at hand, you'll end up cleaning your house from top to bottom - sitting down isn't an option.  You'll need to drink plenty of water, as you'll notice your mouth getting dry about an hour after ingesting the tablet - Dehydration is severe with this medication.

30mg Adderall IR (Instant Release) - Multiply the above effects by .33.

The IR versions last about 4 hours, after which the comedown ("crash") is swift and unpleasant.  Doctors typically prescribe 20mg of IR twice daily.

Adderall XR (Extended Release) comes in capsuled dosages ranging from 5mg to 60mg.  It doesn't "hit" one like Adderall IR does, but ramps up slowly over the day. ramping down after about 6 hours for a much more gentle comedown.  Effects are milder, but similar to the IR version.

This is not a drug I'd recommend using recreationally - It is prescribed for ADHD and Narcolepsy, and if used for any other purpose has a VERY high potential for abuse, and as a powerful CNS stimulant, abuse can lead to fatal overdose.
