ADDERALL for a preworkout kick?

[Benzi]

My friend was recently diagnosed with adhd. Because it is the summer and he's a workout freak like me he decided to only take the adderall before his workout. He started taking 10 mg's before a workout, now he scraps off the time release and takes 30 mg's. I have never seen anyone have such power in the gym. Be it hih or low volume, he just tackles it all.
Has anyone else ever heard of this kind of supplementation. I researched adderall and found out it is cagetorized as an amphetamine, like a speed. Stronger than any little eca stack and can imagine.
What do you guys think?

Drugs used to treat ADD/ADHD are amphetamines...SPEED. So yes, they will do a nice number at kicking your ass into overdrive.

im prescribed 40mg/day.............rarely will i take them prior to training and if i do its 7.5mg.

i just use em in school. adderrall used to be sold under the brand name obetrol as a treatment for obesity, but i can still eat when i take em......

I've used it preworkout... the non-time released (plain dexadrine) works better, as it is out of your system fast and will not suppress hunger post-workout.

Ritalin also is good. Either of these will be greatly complimented by some coffee or tea (green tea is espec good because it raises nor-ep levels too) or if you really need a kick, ECA.


try not to take this combo later in the day. You will not be able to sleep at all.

I wouln't think that adderal or ritalin would give someone with adhd a kick...as these drugs are used to calm the patient down....not jack them up! Now for someone with a normal metabolism I belive it would jack you up to no end ...the adderal especially, as it is time released...and not a good idea for a 1 hour workout.

sorry if this is an old thread...had to bump. I noticed when i take ritalin before a work out it amps me up hardcore, big time like all i want to do is superset, when i was doing deadlifts i thought i was going to passout though, extreme excercise makes the heart rate freak so i would use caution.

That thing totally kills my appetite and coming off it is terrible. Like said, just like speed

Even if the person has ADHD, the ritalin (methylphinidate) or Adderall, or Dexadrine, etc., will still act as a stimulant. The reasoning behind using these to calm the patient down is that, with ADHD, the patient needs constant stimulation, and have short attention spans. They do this themselves by being hyperactive, and quickly changing their concentration from one thing to another. But, when they take these stimulants, supposedly, their CNS's are artificially stimulated. Therefore they do not need to seek out this stimulation. And thus can finally concentrate.

i have taken it a bunch to study and i will tell you one thing, the next day when i wake up i feel like i had ran a marathon the night before. it really wears you out. unless you suffer from add, adhd, or really need to study some shit then stay away from it. especially if you juice, take caffeine, ephedrine, and anything else. your just asking for a heart attack. so stay away from the amphetamines if you can!

Wow, haven’t seen this thread for a while

Now that I’m actually prescribed adderall for college (I don't have adhd), I use it much more for motivation to study. It works wonders for tests and logic papers, although if you're writing about theory you have tend to ramble and make no sense. As great a drug as it is, it sucks the following day... or should I say later on in the day being that I can't ever sleep when I’m on it. Although it doesn't kill my workouts, because I make up for sleep after my classes, it did make me somewhat of a nocturnal student (as if there were any other kind). In fact, it is about 4:45 AM right now and I have been trying to go to sleep for an hour now.
It's sure not the healthiest thing in the world, and now that I use it, I wouldn't recommend it for anything but studying or if you want to be up all night with your friends. I definitely wouldn't waste it on a pre-workout boost when eca/nyc is adequate enough. On another note, I have noticed that adderall causes penal shrinkage (yea... I’m sure that's the technical term), so I wouldn't recommend to take it when you are with your significant other.

Hey, benzi......back in the old days (I'm 50+) the hardcore always used dex, white crosses, benni's....even crystal. Yes, we could get pretty intense in the gym. I always thought that was where the roidrage stories started, actually. Personally, I found the shit to be very addictive, and counter productive in the end, for a lot of the reasons you mention. Fucked up appetite, fucked up sleep patterns, and no good for sex. And i'd end up getting drunk so I could sleep....not good for BB'ers. But we didn't have the options available now.
