Effects of Adderall?

[chest6]

Not sure what forum this goes in but here it goes. Anyone know if adderall has negative effects in regard to protein synthesis, or has any catabolic properties. I think I have heard it is appetite suppresant, but thats not a big concern for me right now. Its finals week, and I can't concentrate for sh*t normally, and this really helps. Any thoughts?

it is very catabolic. It will raise cortisol quite a bit.

[chest6]

Well damn, I dont need either of those.

Will it make a huge difference if I only use it once a month or so? This is the first time I have ever used it.

damn, i was thinking of taking some also for finals. =\

[chest6]

I was wondering since it is catabolic, if it has any relation to fat burning, like a thyroid effect or anything. I doubt it, just trying to find the basis of which it is catabolic.
Pump-shit works great, I would have studied for like 30 mins tops w/o it but I studied til like 530am last night haha.

Not What Everyone In Here Would Say, But i Think It's Worth A Good Finals Grade To Take It For These Couple Of Weeks...

spotty use is fine. it can be very addictive. I took adderall for 4 years. If you can keep it to using only a couple times a month, then it really shouldnt affect your gains. It will kill your appetite and dehydrate you. Drink plenty of water, and maybe try eating some protein bars, as most food is very unappetizing when taking adderall.

I just took one pill last night and 2 today. I will take one more next monday. That will be it until major tests next semester. I have drank at least 2 gallons of water a day now for at least 4 years or so..its basically the only liquid I drink besides a shake of course. I don't know if its this quick, but I was already wanting more for this weekend...but that is prolly just cuz u said that.

it's catabolic effecs derive from an increase in corticosteroids. I've been on it since highschool and I've managed to do okay.

man im glad im done with finals....finished today...adderall=college students' crack

[hawktribal]

yeah, just make sure you're still eating while you're on it, that stuff kills the appetite

but you've had a bit of a hormonal assistance though correct?

why don't you get better study habits than relying on something like this........

I have ADD...I know some of you will say blah blah thats crap no such thing, but I really have trouble concentrating. Things distract me so easily. If it is not peace and quiet, I cant get anything done. Sometimes I read 3 pages and dont remember a thing I read, I'll be thinking of something else. I am eligible for a prescription, but the time I wanted to get it, it was too late for it to be sent to me.
Oh, and it didnt seem to effect appetite at all, I would just take small 20mg capsules. Only took one night, two the following day, and one a week later.

You mean other than my testes?


I have but even in times that I've been off (I was off for almost a year and a half) I've managed to make gains. it is definitely harder with the adderral.
