I took my first dose of Adderall(Barr) yesterday about 6pm, 20mg. In one hour I could feel nothing, no euphoria, mabye SLIGHT mood lift... but I started doing stuff... organizing, work, talking... so I know it was working.
Here's the 'problem,' When I got home at 2am (8 hrs later) I was still in the mood to clean/organize... I did things I have been meaning to do for a long time, very quickly and efficiently.
I thought, "OK, 8 hrs because its my first dose" I was able to go to sleep fine(felt tired, but still 'ambitious') But when I got up in the morning, 10am, SAME THING. I was taking my time do "Do things right" If you know what I mean, THIS IS NOT ME, I AM A LAZY **** so the stuff still had to be in my system. even at 6pm(24 hrs later) I was working on things much more systematically. I did not take a dose this morning because I was still feeling 'up'
Is it possible I am a slow metabolizer? and the stuff stays in my system waay too long? Mabye this is why for some folks stims work great for 2-3 days then lead to poopout/depression? this is why I went w/o taking an additional dose today. I have not experienced any sort of crash.
or am i going insane?
