Sometimes its hard to differentiate between the "normal" side effects of Adderall and the side effects from over dosing. ive experienced both, many times, and ill just tell you what i know. side effects from taking an adderall dosage that is too high may include: hallucinations (visual or auditory, such as seeing trails of light or hearing voices), sweating, shakiness (like a leaf!), dilated pupils, dissociation (not feeling like yourself, or having an absence of emotion for things or people you typically care about), aggressive attitude, emotional lability (responding very strongly emotionally to things, severe mood swings), careless or apathetic attitude towards friends, family, or anything that is typically of interest to you, Tangential thinking and speech (thinking about little things nearest you, such as cleaning up or reorganizing, and progressively ignoring or forgetting about the big picture), confusion (such as suddenly feeling unsure of why you chose to do something or be somewhere. also, confusion can be experienced as just a general haziness, physically and emotionally), high blood pressure, tachycardia, euphoria, dysphoria, suicidal ideation or gestures, and sometimes death (in the case of an overdose). The "normal" side effects typically mimic the above side effects, but without the psychological factors. Normal side effects could include weight loss (yay who doesnt like that), loss of appetite, headache, hyperactivity or general malaise, loss of sex drive, inability to orgasm, dehydration.

I guess it depends on how much you take beyond what is prescribed. If you take too much (more than needed to provide optimum results) you will feel nauseated, experience increased heart rate, dizziness, and a "zombie like stupor." You will also probably experience a worse crash (process of the medication wearing off) than normal.

Does baking-soda increase the effects of Adderall?

Adderall has a pH of about 7 (basic) so it becomes charged at a pH of 7. Becaues charged particles are absorbed more slowly, taking adderall with a Ph below 7 and acidic with cause the drug to get absorbed slowly allowing for the drug to brake down in your stomach. Adderall gets absorbed faster when the intestine is basic (above pH of 7). So to increase effectiveness of adderall you should take it on an empty stomach and with a little taking baking soda (one teaspoon) or potassium citrate (Tums) a little before taking adderall (5-10 min) to create a pH above 7. Doing this will increase the drugs concentration more rapidly and make the effects last longer.


If you took 15mg of adderall at 3pm and 10mg of Oxycontin at 7pm when should it wear off?

I used to take Adderall XR, but now take Dexedrine Spansules (Dexedrine is like Adderall, but a little different) for ADHD.AdderallIf one takes an Adderall at 3PM, assuming it is instant release, its effects will last anywhere from 4-8 hours depending on external factors such as weight, stomach contents, metabolism, etc. Also, if one have an alkaline stomach or digestive/urinary track, the effects off Adderall may be amplified or prolonged. Conversely, if it is acidic, then effects may be decreased or last shorter than normal.If it is the extended release (Adderall XR) version, its effects can range from 8-16 hours, depending on the same external factors stated before. (In other words, one may be up all night or very late.)OxyContinNow, onto the OxyContin. Assuming one are taking it as prescribed, the effects should last 12-16 hours depending on external factors.If one decides to be an not-so-smart individual, and crushes the OxyContin up, effects will last about 3-6 hours, but much stronger than taking the pill whole.NOTE:The stimulant effects of Adderall may cancel out the Depressant effects of OxyContin. As both substances induce euphoria, the OxyContin and Adderall will produce a stronger feeling of happiness/well-being/etc. Or you may just feel sick. Each person is different, so individuals should know their individual reactions to drugs.I'm assuming your using recreationally, so be safe.

Should I avoid drinking alcohol while taking Adderall XR?

It is recommended by pharmacists to avoid drinking alcohol while taking Adderall. Adderall seems to over ride the effects of the alcohol, the person drinking may not feel that they are getting drunk. So they keep drinking more, and more, and more. But the alcohol is still present in their body and can do damage. Having one or two drinks will not be harmful. Just be careful and don't overdo it.

Adderall is a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant. One of the side effects is an accelerated heartbeat and increase in blood pressure. You should discuss any side effects with your doctor.
