have had add  my whole life, but my parents refused to medicate, and i have still been successful (though i think i could ahve been more so). i went from never having been medicated, to taking i went from taking 10mg adderall/day...slowly increasing, lying to my doctor about losing my pills (i know, it is bad)....today I don't even know how much I took but I'd say it's over 100mg over the last 10 hours because i keep getting interrupted when trying to focus. but im scared, i dont want to have a heart attack. i know it was wrong but i am just wondering now what i should do...should i remain still? do you know anyone who has taken this much? please answer me and i know i need to seek help, balh blah blah, but that is secondary.

has anyone had this experience? i know max dose is supposedly 60. im so scared please help!

I don't want give you bad advice and cause more harm than good. I can say I've taken that much and felt really high, but was okay. You'll probably be up all night. A downer could be dangerous. A racing heart and respiratory suppression are a bad combo. You need to give your meds to the wife and have her give them to you, if you can't stop taking extra. Taking them for stress release from work is definitely addict behavior. It's not what we take but why we take it. Are you pretty healthy otherwise?

thank you both for responding.

i am okay, just still very awake and angry at everyone for no apparent reason...thanks for the responses. i was not and have never been an addict but i'd say over the past few months i may have become one? i didnt jump from 10 to 100, it was a slow progression, i just have been doing it now for the past few days and that is a first...i usually take a downer to try to go to sleep which is also terrible, so since it's friday i am trying to wait it out...i am up for a promotion and overwhelmed at work, in fact, i am still here....ahhh. thank you for the response. i have never felt this crazy before. my dad is an addict and i always said i wouldn't become one. i will not let myself but the pressure of work is so stressful, it's just at this high a dosage it isn't even effective anymore...i am medically prescribed 30/day. do you think if i am still okay now i will st ilkl be okay later?

Adderral is amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, I'm sure you heart is racing and are feeling anxious. I've taken that much before, but I took more and more over a few days. If you jumped from 10mg to 100mg too fast it could be trouble. ImDone is right, you should go to a doctor. Do you think you are an addict or just made a mistake? You're probably coming down a little by now, sorry I didn't see this post, had a bad day yesterday. Relax as much as you can as the stress just amplifies the problems caused by amphetamines. Let us know what happened. Your story could help someone else.

I wish someone had seen this earlier and I SO hope you got yourself checked out by a Dr. since you posted this.

It would be impossible, not to mention negligent, for someone here to surmise your particular situation and be able to help.

Please seek medical attention if you haven't already.  I hope you're okay.
