Adderall?

[gyro1635]

Anyone have any experience with adderall long term? Any negative effect on building muscle? Any negative effects in general? Iv heard that its does affect muscle fullness, but that could just be due to lack of food from a decreased appetite.

Well, given that Adderall is a combination of two different stimulants, and since stimulants are notorious for decreasing appetite, yes, Addrell does have a negative effect on one's ability to build muscle. My advice would be to simply avoid it if at all possible,

Adderral is terrible for bodybuilding. It will increase cortisol levels and kill your appetite. It is also extremely addictive. I have had friends in university use it as a study aid and eventually they weren't able to study without it.

If you want a cognitive boost before your workout, take a b100 vitamin and drink a cup of green tea. It'll rev up your central nervous system with no side effects.

I tried Adderall a few times way back. It made me crazy gittery seeming to be bouncing off the walls but not in a good way. It completely killed my appetite and I would go all day without eating. And the crash was horrible, felt like staying in bed the next day or two. I would also feel that if I tried to workout on it my heart would give out.

"Much larger doses of Adderall are likely to impair cognitive function and induce rapid muscle breakdown (rhabdomyolysis). "

I personally hate the stimulant feeling,

A good buddy of mine who was trying to put on some mass was struggling so bad while he was on adderall, it was sad to watch

Unfortunately my youngest son has to be on it as he has severe ADHD. It does not make him excited or hyper at all since he actually needs it. It would have this "stimulant" effect on someone taking it who did not need it. The side effect I see from him is lack of appetite. He will come home from school barely eating anything all day. On the weekends he does not take it and he eats everything in the house. He gets blood work every few months and has checkups with his specialist the same frequency. There are no issues as far as health is concerned. Blood pressure and everything else is great. So for bodybuilding I would not recommend the drug because you will have issues getting enough food in each day.

I should probly verify that I'm actually prescribed adderall for diagnosed ADD. Not taking it for bodybuilding, just wondering if anyone has any negative experiences with it, both with bodybuilding and just anything negative in generally.

The only people I know who take adderal also abuse other drugs like painkillers. When u was younger the kids prescribed adderal were either into drugs or they sold it for pot money. lol. And no one else I know who is even semi-serious about working out would ever take it.

If someone were to offer me a handful of them I would pass, amphetamines aren't my thing.

I've used it twice, once to study for my thermo chem midterm and again for my thermo chem final. Dry mouth, slightly buzzy after. I wouldn't take it if you don't need it. Heard of people really getting hooked on it.
