My Adderall Tolerance

Posted by SyntheticSoul on December 9, 2005, at 14:23:59

Hi All,

I thought I would take some time to post some findings with my Adderall tolerance--something that seems to come up frequently in this group. First, I should state that I have been taking Adderall for just over a year at the dose of 20 mgs per day, instant release, one in the morning and once in the afternoon. Needless to say, my tolerance has hit the absolute "this medicine doesn't work" point.

In fact, you know that you have hit major tolerance when stopping the medication produces zero side effects...there is no difference on or off the medication. At least that has been my experience.

So I started searching around on the net and found some interesting information about tolerance and ADD (I have inattentive type), in regards to natural supplements. First let me state that I am NOT trying to sell anything, I simply wanted to share some success I have had with them.

I will also start by saying that my adderall tolerance has not necessarily gone away, but I have managed to obtain more focus, energy, and motivation despite the tolerance. I believe that I may be maximizing what little Adderall I currently take and augmenting with a good cocktail of supplements. It would require me to do a massive post to show all of my findings but if you search on NMDA Antagonists and Adderall you can probably come across something.

Like I said earlier, this week I have been super-focused, alert, awake, motivated, and feeling fairly good about life. Having inattentive type produces just the opposite when completely untreated. I basically went out and spent around $100 at the vitamin store and developed the following regimen:

Country Life's Beyond Food Multi (4 daily)
GNC Fish Body Oil 1000 mg (2 daily)
Source Naturals Ultra-Mag (1 daily)
Vitamin Shoppe Vinpocetin (1 daily)
L-theanine 100mg (2 daily)
Huperzine A with Ginko (2 daily)

If you want to try this combo, please make sure that nothing mixes badly with your current meds or condition. Nothing sucks worse than anaphylactic shock from an allergy (I know because I have been there).

So why does this stuff work? I don't completely understand but I do know that Magnesium, L-Theanine, and Huperzine are apparently all NMDA antagonists which help prevent adderall tolerance. Again, Google this for details. Magnesium in particular has shown to be out of balance in people with ADD, and can supposedly help the body retain stims for longer than normal periods of time. This was my exact experience when I started the magnesium...I seemed to be "on" all day long after only taking 10mg of Adderall. That was Monday, it's now Friday and I am still "On". So much so that I have been awake late most nights from the excess energy. THIS IS NOT NORMAL FOR ME AT ALL. I am crediting some of this to my cocktail. I would love to see if anyone else can try this and report their findings.
