Reply to comment by Claym0ar in Adderall? by fourposterity

How do you maintain a stable tolerance?

I got to the point in about a year where 60mg of adderall barely felt like it was doing anything, and that’s not sustainable at all

Well sadly I think a lot of it comes down to body chemistry/metabolism. I have a pretty slow metabolism. If you can, I would suggest taking the weekends off, and whenever you are on vacation (activity permitting). This can help to reset your tolerance and get you back to baseline. I know there are also a bunch of non-stimulent medications that have come out, which are likely to reduce/eliminate the tolerance factor. I tried 2, both were a nogo for me. But that doesnt mean that one wouldnt work for you.

I’ve tried strattera and it worked for a day then didn’t work since then so I’m kinda skeptical of nonstimulants except maybe like modafinil which is almost a proper stimulant at that point lol. It still might not work for me who knows, never been on it and my insurance will find a reason to deny coverage

maybe focalin would be better because it doesn’t cause the NT efflux like amphetamine

Ironically the long term tolerance was much more noticeable with adderall than with desoxyn for some reason
