Is Adderall ok during cyle?
I am not ADD but I do use adderall to help me stay up and study. I just started a D-bol/Deca/Test ctle and was wondering if it is ok to take the two together? Since Adderall is an Amphetamine I don't want to have a heart attack or something while on ASS. Does anybody know or have experience in the matter?

Nahhhh . . . Been there, done that. :D
Two items worth mentioning briefly . . . First, two writers have essentially confirmed what I said above - amphetamines affect ADD'ers (and sometimes, kids in general) differently than they affect people without ADD. Rather than making you speed, they simply help you focus. They are not as addictive to ADD'ers as they are to non-ADD'ers, but they are still addictive.
Second, the long-acting versions of Ritalin and Adderall were actually developed for two reasons. The first is that most ADD'ers taking regular Ritalin would do so three times a day - say, at 8:00 AM, 12:00 PM, and 4:00 PM. They would not take an 8:00 PM dose because it would keep them awake at night. The long-acting versions were designed according to this traditional dosing schedule - to get you through the school day, but to wear off before bedtime.
Second, of course, the long-acting version (of Ritalin, at least) was designed to produce sales for the manufacturer upon the expiration of the original drug's patent. This is the same reason that many new drugs that are variants of old drugs are released. Before the U.S. patent on Glucophage was about to expire last year, the manufacturer relased Glucophage XR (long-acting) and Glucovance (GLucophage combined with another drug). Ditto the manufacturers of Prozac and Fosamax. That's how drug companies attempt to keep their market after generic versions of their proucts are released.

So basically, your telling me that I am simply some guinea pig for the pharmacutical companies in a brand new drug which was created simply in order to keep them from loosing money to generic drug manufacturers? Now I'm pissed. I have to pay 25 dollars either way though. The only generic right now for the long action versions are methaphenedate er 20mg which doesn't vary at all. Everything else that people usually take, such as concerta, ritalin (la now I suppose), and adderal don't even have a generic, I don't think. The only generic I have been told about was the one for ritalin SR... its interesting that they JUST released the ritalin LA 2 weeks ago, and they won't have a generic for it until about a year.
This whole thing is bullshit in my opinion. I don't think I need treatment for it, I have managed pretty well for myself so far in my life without any help. When I move back to cali, I will try to see a specialist that might recommend something that might be a little better for me. Another thing about the ritalin LA is that you get a kick right after you take it... then it goes down and then another kick. This is how the drug was intended to work in order to relieve you of a second mid-day dosage. The SR on the otherhand was a steady, small dose all day long, without any peaks or anything like that.
I will look into concerta when I get get back, www.concerta.com. They are supposed to have a 12 hour formula which people seem to like very much.
I'm not taking ritalin la again, its not all its hyped up to be.
Thanks for the reply TNT. Everyone you said is fact from what I have researched and from my own personal experience. Its amazing that you have the ability to verbalize the situation so flawlessly.
You must have a ba in journalism!
