Amphetamine for studying - good idea?

Hello,

I'm interested in getting some amphetamine for studying. Do you guys have any experience with that? Any dose recommendations, RoI, frequency of use, stuff like that? Does it work/help? I don't want any euphoria, just drive to study and able to stay focused and awake for 6-8h/day easily.

Thanks for the advice.

It's very easy to get addicted to speed doing this, but if you can actually control the frequency you use it it should help. I split a big bag of it from SSB with a couple of friends last year and the results were mixed. The two who used it very infrequently and typically took it orally about 20-30 mg at a time did well. I became pretty dependent snorting it several days a week and had an absolute nightmare time getting off it over the summer but got great grades. The last guy did it every single day probably point a day by the end and failed classes because he'd play videogames and masturbate all day.

All I can say is... 11th grade I started with minimum use of low dosage adderall. By 12th grade I was taking 2-3 (40mg) Vyvanse a day + 2-4mg Xanax to balance out the effects of the jitters and other shit side effects from stims.

Fast forward another 10 months after graduating HS... I was doing roughly 300-400mg Vyvanse + Adderall mixed and some days take between 8-10 bars a day and other days take 12-16mg worth.

Now fast forward around 5 months... I am much better and much more conscious of what I'm doing to my body/brain. I do my best to only take 60mgs of Adderall per my day and limit myself to only 4-6mg xanax now. I'm doing my best to tamper lower and lower.

Don't become a Zombie to these drugs like I did...

Adderall is one hell of a drug!

For me personally stimulants are extremely counterproductive. They lower my ability to eat and sleep which successful studying requires in abundance for me.

That being said I went to school and roomed with someone who was absolutely 100% worthless at doing anything someone could POSSIBLY construe as constructive without amphetamines. It still causes problems with sleep and appetite for this individual despite using it for these purposes since what I'd consider early in childhood for such a hard drug (yes it was prescribed, amphetamine and meth are hard drugs imo).

He has to frontload as much of his caloric intake as possible immediately in the morning. Then takes his daily amphetamine (dextro) and will basically not eat after that point for 10+ hours. Combine that with the poor ability to sleep amphetamines bestow and I am surprised that this is how he is most functional.

Point is your mileage may vary, but I truly believe that amphetamines for study are a poor idea outside of an emergency I DID NOTHING ALL SEMESTER AND THE FINAL IS IN 2 DAYS HOLY FUCKING SANTA-CLAUS SHIT BATMAN HELP ME!

Information is integrated into long term memory during sleep. Your brain requires a good 25% plus of your energy consumption as a human. Amphetamines are a guaranteed negative to these aspects. But if you put off something to the last minute that absolutely must be done and you don't care if you remember a thing about in 4 weeks from now then it is a viable tool.

Dose wise, keep it as small as possible that is still functional for you. Titrate up if you at all have time to experiment. If this is intended as a regular tool for you then I'd recommend keeping it to several days a week and do your absolute best to force as much food and sleep into you as possible on those use days.

I really cannot stress how critical sleep and food are to studying. I'd take 4 hours of studying with lots of food and 8 hours sleep over 16 hour amphetamine fueled study blitzkrieg for anything that I actually consider important.

Or you could be like my friend who has a less than 1/10 chance of being able to so much as wash a dirty plate without amphetamines in his system. I think these folks were damned to this by physicians giving them powerful amphetamines during their developmental years, but I have no source for this.

Any dose recommendations

20 mg of adderall for starters will be good.

Does it work/help?

ummmmmmmm.... Yeah

I don't want any euphoria

You're going to get some euphoria whether you want it or not. Amphetamines trigger a dopamine release, which in turn creates euphoria. You will just feel better and in a happier mode than you were before you took the speed. You'll also be more talkative.

If you don't overdo it with the dosages and remember to eat and drink throughout the day. There is little chance you will notice any ill-effects.

Last piece of advice: you will probably have trouble sleeping the night you take speed (at least the first few times). Go ahead and have a few beers that night, drinking with amphetamine is totally fine and will help wind you down. Or take xanax if you have any (but be careful when combining xan's and alcohol obviously, just don't do that).

As I said on the other thread:

It works really well, if you use it really well. You can't just rely on the pills, you need to sleep right, eat right, exercise and get into a routine of studying. If you do that, then 6-8 hours won't require speed at all, and you can hold off on using it for the times you need it, like 2 days before something fucking tough is due. I used ADHD meds or dexamphetamine when I could get it in combination with a wakefulness drug like Wakalert, somewhere around the 2 hours into studying mark, I would also smoke weed if I had it, and eat before I lost my appetite. From there, I could easily study for 10-12 hours straight, from there I could top up with more speed or coffee but it's best to stop and sleep, then start back up later, for which some diazepam are invaluable. Really, they work BUT you have to use them sensibly, they aren't grades in a bottle and they will screw you over hard if you start relying on them regularly, just like with any crutch.

NO! Use armodafinil instead!

As someone who has done both, I strongly recommend you at least try both and compare. Adderal had me extremely energized, but restless and I could not focus on my work any better.

Armodafinil actually increases your ability to focus, and doesn't make you jittery, and doesn't make you feel like shit the next day. (in my experience)

I had a prescription for Adderall and took 90mg every morning for years. I liked it that way because I got a good kick in the morning but had no trouble falling asleep at night. I've had a couple batches of speed paste and usually end up taking 50mg, and another 50 later. For pure studying purposes you should try 2-FMA. It's not speedy or euphoric, but it works like amphetamine and you will be very focused. Plus it's legal in the US. I took about 75mg up the nose and it worked pretty well. Note, amphetamine isn't good for snorting because of low bio-availability through the nasal membranes, purportedly it's better to plug it (stick it up your ass, although that sounds a bit counter-intuitive.) I just parachute it by putting some in tissue, rolling it in a ball, and taking it orally. But, you can snort the 2-FMA for sure. I've seen 2-FMA for $16/g on the clearnet, but you can find it on the DNM as well.

whats the diff between speed and adderol, is it just accurate doses or is there more to the addiction/high that i dunno aboujt


[1 Points] JailsucksLEtoo:

well this is my experience and the rules that I give to myself. I started using amph last year to pass an heavy exam with a cunt of professor. Use the minimum amount required (from 10 to 20 mg are good enough). Buy PURE amphetamine from well known vendors. Dose it ORALLY in order to avoid addiction as much as possible. Use it ONLY WHEN YOU ARE IN DEEP SHIT and only for 4/5 days consecutive, than take a big pause (minimum 8/10 days) avoid to take it after dinner unless you REALLY NEED IT and don't binge with that shit or you will completely fuck up your sleeping schedule, burning much more brain than required. Don't forget to eat and drink water, vitamins are very important to minimize side effects (fruit juice are good). When you are on amph NEVER EVER turn up videogames or watch porn or you will lose your whole day... Never forget that amph is not cocaine or opioids but this shit is anyway really addictive!... said this, Amph is the ultimate tool for study/work

Take adderall to study. End up in the depths of youtube


[1 Points] droppingwhen:

Very good idea you just risk addiction. I'm on adderall and have been for about a decade, I also graduated high school at 16 w/ honors and was on the deans list several times throughout college thanks to it. Its a great study drug. Also made me pump to do good and be a very active student in the classrooms making me one of my professors/teachers favorite student. Down to getting rides from my polysci professor when I lived off campus and didn't have a ride.
