nothing i suppose. then again, neither do all these paxil, ketamine, xanax, vicodin, x,valium,viagra (maybe), etc. questions you see all the time on the boards. i just didn't know where else to ask. i bodybuild too, and i wanted a bodybuilder's viewpoint of these drugs or if anybody else has social anxiety and uses them. Do they hinder gains? Are they effective? How do some feel on them. You're right though, I probably should have posted them on another board so no flame taken. | ||

Hey man, I just started taking Adderall for ADD. It is wonderful. It is much better than Ritalin because it lasts longer and is much smoother (not a bunch of ups and downs). I don't have anxiety but when I am on it I don't have a worry in the world. I know a lot of people who take it recreationally and they say the same thing. If you get on anything for ADD that's what you want. Ask your doc. Hope this helps! ------------------ | ||

In normal, healthy adults, ritalin increases metabolism and promotes your ability to focus and concentrate. It is an amazing fat burner as I can personally attest to. I have had no negative side effects from it back when I used it for short periods of time. So it has plenty to do with bodybuilding as far as I'm concerned. It ranks up there with ECA and clenbuterol with the effects it gives. | ||

I knew it could cause me to lose weight, which I didn't want. So I have worked really hard to gain as much as possible while taking it. My weight has not gone down but I can tell my bodyfat has because my abs are really beginning to show and I have only been on it for about 2 weeks. Kinda hinders your appetite a bit though. My strength has gone up from the test I am on so basically I am gaining muscle while losing fat...and paying attention in class. Ya can't beat that! ------------------ | ||

Adderall is the drug of choice at this time. There is a new one on the horizion that lasts 12hrs. (I believe)...If you are ADD or ADHD, you will definately like it... Curious has really laid it out for you pretty well...if you have other questions please feel to e-mail me (as I stated before) Later, | ||

the doses depend on the need most people take about 10mg 3-4 times a day......20mg 2-3 times a day for ritalin is the highest dose I've heard...good stuff I might add if you really need to study and have trouble concentrating or if you just need an extra kick before you go out...my friends used to call it diet coke. It does have some fat burning properties though. | ||

CapitalR: I had the same initial response to your thread as Juiceseeker. This is not the place to be asking about dosages of psychiatric meds, man. As it turns out, some of the bros chimed in to tell you their experiences on ADHD drugs from a BB perspective, and I guess that's okay, but let's not play Doctor here, recommend doses and such, or even specific meds, okay brothers? Bad idea. Definitely a bad idea. Bchemist: Your point about using these drugs for an unintended purpose, namely fat loss, is well taken. But that wasn't the point of CapitalR's posting the thread. As he first put the question, as indicated in how he chose to title the thread with the word "dose" in there, Juiceseeker's response was an appropriate one, I think, and the question CapitalR raised (the thread title, at least) was a dangerous one, IMO. Don't mean to tread on your toes, Bchemist. I admire almost all your posts. I just didn't think this one was wise. Bjaarki | ||

You're absolutely right, but it was more in response to JUICESEEKER. | ||
