so here is my story. last night was my first time ever tryin the stuff and my friend gives me 3... big mistake... i was driving too cause everyone said it wasnt bad at all... another big mistake... no accident just really hard to handle 3 or more things at once. so i finally get home and i lay down on my couch for literally the entire night staring at the same floor tile. my heart began to race extremely fast... to the point where there were huge impressions... then i started hallucianating and drooling constantly. by this time i was scared out of my freakin mind. so i made it through the night and i manage to walk to the restroom and i noticed a change in size... like 2-3 inche difference... !**@!... and ive had this before with surgery but everything went back to normal. but i have a bad feeling about this... plus no erection or anything... so yea im freakin out and in need of some hints/tips or explanations if this is gonna turn out alright or not. all my other symptoms are gone except this one. oh and if you were wondering how much i had it was 3 20mg... please reply

Adderal is nothing to fool around with. Trust me. I have done research on this addicting medication myself and was not happy with the results. You always have to look at what the studies on the drug found. Placebo vs The real drug.
Just like with the ED drugs. They say if you have an erection lasting more then X amount of hours to go right to the hospital. I'm sorry but, with a warning like that, I would not want any part of it. But, then again I am a lady speaking.

reply to monkey guts
im a new user so i'm not sure if this is how i'm supposed to post a reply..anyway...i have a script for adderall so my boyfriends takes it sometime to stay awake at work or just for fun..anyways, when he takes it, he can't get erect or stay erect...i've read before that adderall WILL do that to you, so i guess i'm just trying to say that it's normal for that to happen when you're on that drug...and a lot of other drugs too...i dunno hope that helped or gave you reassurance.

Learn from this and don't do it again. Taking three adderal at one time when you never been on adderall before and even if you have thats a very high dose. Trust me i had an adderall problem before, I have adhd and had wonderful success with the medication but discovered how good it made me feel and so I'd be taking 1 pill every 2-3 hours as the one before it started to wear off and for awhile it didn't seem to do anything bad to me but eventually scary things started to happen and I quit the medication cold turkey nbecause I didn't want to die of a heart attack or stroke and stuff but my adhd was such a pain in the but to deal with without help that I had to make a choice, take my meds like I should be taking them or struggle with the adhd and I straightened myself out on my own and havent talked to any doctors about my problem to much pride and worry that I'd have to live with the adhd symptoms and not getting help for it. Every once in a while I'll take an extra dose of the adderall but I don;t do the stuff I was doing before and I'll always struggle with this but you have to ask yourself what is more important to you??? And is the dangers of abusing stimulants worth it???

I'm surprised that I havent developed high blood pressure or anything like that I'm lucky buit I know others havent been. Just figure out what is most important to you.

CAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED I WILL NEVER DO OR ABUSE ANY DRUGS AGAIN!

I have ADD so the doc says but I my self thinkg ADD/ADHD is fake, any ways I was first put on strattera which made me crazy and I would litteraly be in prison right now for murder or drug dealing if I didn't get off them but finaly some how did. The pills also made me sleep all day in class and I was constantly swinging fists and didn't care about my life any more. My blood presure also went high from being mad 24/7.



Then the doc put me on adderal xr 20mg. He had me taking 1 pill every morning and it helped me so much in school but not by calming me down cause im very calm what it did was sped me up and I felt happier and was doing really good in school on the adderal but had some side affect that I hated and kind of scared me cause it made it hard for me to pee for some reason so I decided not to take them after like 10 days of using.

Well one night I had 2 whisky drinks with my friends and they talk me in to taking out the pills. I got talked into doing 1 and then I did another. I lost controle of my self and wanted to get higher and higher an ended up taking 11 pills (210mgs) with in 4 hours and I was only 130lbs and 5'8 at the time. I felt like I was on top of the world and could't stop talking. I felt so much that I could do any thing that I decided I was going to try t od oa back flip in the air with my 4 wheeler and a merical happened cause when I tried to kick start it the clutch went out making it not start which safed me from getting hurt bad. I was also running around in the woods all night and till 10am wanting to smash windows and steel game farm animals and it was the mittle of winter and I was all frozen with water in my shoes and couldn't feel my toes cause I was so cold. Well all's good till I get in my house. I go to the bathroom and see how big my eyes where I looked scary but what was weird when I went to go pee my dick was really small and hard and was hard to pee! But that wasnt what scared me much cause that for some reason happened to me half the time I took 1 pill as perscribed. Well I sit in my room watching tv. My chest was sore as can be and my hart was racing so so fast and I felt short of breath and was having hot and cold flashes. At that point I was scared. To top it off my sister yelled for me to come and help her burn a CD. I get up out of bed and could't walk right I kept draging my toes. When I got to my sister I thought she for sure knew somthing was wrong with me cause I kept studdering and couldn't talk right or remember what she was asking me. Well I walk back to my room and go to put my hand on my bed and I halusinated and my bed dropped down 2ft below my hand which made me almost fall down. Then Im laying on my bed watching tv and started seeing flys fly out of my tv. I was up for more than 2 days. I went to school and my eyes where all black around em I looked so bad. My teacher asked me if every thing was ok and i said ya. Then day after day went by and I was astill kind of studdering and felt really odd almost a fealing of being helpless or mentaly retarted. I started doing research and found that abusing them can affect you for any where for a day to a week to a month to life. That scared me bad at that point I hated my self for being so stupid and my plan was to kill my self if I wasnt back to normal with in a month. Well finaly after about 2 weeks I felt about normal. Thank god! Cause of that I tole my self I wil never abuse drugs again.
