Vyvanse or adderall for studying?
    #19095601 - 11/06/13 02:14 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

or meth?


I took ~20 mg of vyvanse but instead of studying, I went and ran.  Then talked to my friend for about an hour. 

Is it this specific drug that makes me want to do these things instead of studying?  Or is it that I naturally prefer doing these things and this drug only potentiates that?

I think the thing with amphetamines is, that while they help with studying and coursework, you can really just do whatever it is that you decide to do. IMO it's just because you decided to do something besides studying. I could just as well decide to jerk off for 12 hours as write a 15 page term paper when I pop a bunch of vyvanse.

Vyvanse is a D-amphetamine prodrug.  Adderall is racemic amphetamine.

Read about the differences here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2265273/

Adderall.

Although neither will make you study. You have to want to be studying and be focused on that to begin with.  Popping amphetamines with no discipline will lead to what happened with you.

Adderal for studying; Vyvanse is okay, but I find the later half of the experience is very unenjoyable for studying and leaves me unmotivated but stimulated.

Adderal I just want to work work work work owkr work work work even if I should sleep and I'm coming down, I can still work.

If I just wanted to take some pharmaceutical stimulants recreationally, I would go with vyvanse hands down. If I want to actually study and get work done, Adderal all the way.

I've never tried vyan, but adderall works wonders if your motivated and stay focused on the task. Don't take a recreational dose to study, try 10-20 MGs

I've taken vyvanse for 4-5 years now. It's a great motivator under the right circumstances. In my experience, vyvanse works best when you create a goal; not too soon after dosing but not too long beforehand. Another tip is too work on whatever it is to the point where it is the only thing on your mind, at least an hour before you know the medication is going to kick in. I'm a little weird tho, and I've been taking add meds since 2nd grade :shrug:.

I know exactly what you are talking about though OP, been there, done that... several times.

I prefer vyvanse.

Honestly though both of them tend to make me extremely focused on overly ambitious side projects that I never end up finishing rather than on my homework. I also tend to take too much, often in excess of 100mg. If I were to take a lower dose, like 40mg, it would probably help me study.

Haven't taken any stims since June.

Adderall.

Didnt look into it but I know for a fact that Adderall IR (Amphetamine salt combo) is part dextroamphetamine. Is dextroamphetamine a racemetric? if thats what you meant by racemic?

Knowledge: prescribed adderall  for 10+ years.

To answer OP's question.
From personal experience and collected anecdotes of friends, It is a great tool to study and will help you retain and recall information more efficiently (especially while under the influence) This is IF you are not one of those people who get calmed down by adderall. But adderall wont MAKE you study, only YOU can MAKE you study. It will just aide in studying by making you able to focus more intently for longer periods of time than when not on the drug.
  On the other side of the coin, amphetamines make time fly ime and If your not intent on studying you wont get shit done. You can be easily distracted when your focus is magnified.

Vyvanse is weird in my experience, I was prescribed that for like 6 months. It def. helped but vyvanse straight TWAK'D me the fuck out. Way to sped out to do much of anything, and it last a decent amount of time.

This is just anecdotal references 95% from personal experience. YMMV though.

I find low doses of amphetamine (~5mg or less) puts me in a good spot to do work. Any more and I'm smoking pot like a dutch chimney and getting off task. Vyvanse is good in small doses too (~10mg), but makes me feel tired and unmotivated during the last few hours.

When I used to smoke good old herb a lot I actually would not take adderall some days  even though I was supposed to because something about speed makes it like impossible to get truly stoned.
I smoke cigs like a chimney when im geeked.

Heres the thing about vyvanse:
It lasts far too long.
If youre just trying to study for a few hours pop an addy.
If you are going to school for the whole day take a vyvanse.
Also, i feel like when i take vyvanse in doses lower than 40mg, my desire to work/study decreases a bit compared to 40+ Try a 40mg and see how it affects you

The backend of vyvanse is fucking horrible; No motivation, foggy headed, stimulated but no desire to make use of it, hard to absorb information.

I've really found that less is more with amphetamine. So much so that I don't use it at all now, but I never was a big fan of recreational amph.
