Hey guys, I have been on and off adderall for 3 years now, I would tally up to say that I have been on it for just about 3 months (legally). Well while I was on it, I would try my hardest to make myself get that focused and motivated without having to take an adderall (30mgxr). Well since I dont health insurance (will be getting it in april) I had to resort to finding adderall on "the streets". All I could find was 20mg nonxrs. I took two when I woke up, took another one after 4 hours, another 4 hours pass by and i take another 1, then 5 hours pass by and i take 2. I never abused this drug period until today. The nonxr's would wear out within 3 hours! Well after the last two that I took, I could not focus one bit, I am STARVING, and wide awake. Did I destroy this medication for my body now? None of the other meds i use to take worked (ritalin, focalin, concerta). Sorry for the long postthanks

Worried and confused

Welcome to A2A, vaioguy.The problem with stuff off the streets is you don't know how pure it is. It may have been cut. However it looks likely that it wasn't, and you've taken too much.The XR is "extended release", with two different beads - half of the drug is delivered immediately, and the other half comes from beads that dissolve slowly, effectively releasing it four hours later. So the non-XRs not lasting as long is normal. You are supposed to take them more often, but not two at a time. You won't have destroyed the effect of this medication, but clearly the XR formulation is better for you.

It's from my friends script, i just like calling it "the streets" heh. But since its a stimulant, wouldn't to much cause me to be super focused?

It's not often as simple as that, that doubling the dose gives double the effect. Often what happens is that the side-effects start taking over.

take too mcuh of a stimulant and your not focused, your fucking scattered. cant think about any one thing, all over the fucking map and jittery. ask any coke addict,or talk to a tweaker, you dont even need to ask them, just observe the bastard for 30 second when they are tweaking.

I suggest you take the doctor's advice first on that.
