adderall
I currently take 35 mg of Adderall XR for ADHD every day. I was wondering if this has any affect on my freediving. I would think it would have a negative effect since it increases heart rate but when I work out I can do like 50 pushups which is almost double my normal amount. I usually just dont take it the day I go out freediving.

Re: adderall
anything that speeds yor heart rate up is going to effect your diving, especially freediving.

Re: adderall
We call them "Genius Pills" at the office. Nothing like being able to knock out a 1,000+ page government contract in one day. They were also really handy when I drove from Venice, LA to NPR, FL for the SBO two years ago. Dove all day, drove all night and partied the entire next day with the "Captain". I did sleep most of the ride home.
Hell, pop away! You gotta die from something. (My way of saying that you probably shouldn't zing while diving/biking/jogging/etc.) Zz

Re: adderall
Rather than Adderal, which is an amphetamine (as already stated), you might want to talk with your doc about modafinil, which is a non-amphetamine stimulant. It's commonly used to treat narcolepsy, and doesn't cause the same degree of physical stimulation (i.e., increased heart rate), yet it does provide increased alertness and concentration.
Just trying to help.

Re: adderall
Man i used to take that same dasage and then i switched to concerta but i dove while still on them and i know that everytime i dove i would end up having the worst headache ever and i would have to sit on the boat. It affects everyone different man i got ADHD also it helped me a lot in school but made me like a Zombie out of school and i would just like doze off and i would always be sleepy. My say in it from experience is that i would not dive with it in your system. And Christof the time release deffinetly does not last until the next day it wears off over night. But i wouldn' dive with it in my system again it really f's with your body. And ontop of that u get really depressed when your not doing anything. Haha

For the older crowd here, remember the "Cross Tops" days?? Same difference, but back in our day you went to jail for that... Now you simply have to shop around for a Psychologist that loves to hand out scripts for your "disorder".... When I was a kid, I was called "Hyper" and fit to a T what nowadays is considered ADHD.... Thank god back then we didnt have the slew of drugs available for kids today, or I surely would have been on several... I shudder to think of caring for critically ill people while on amphetamine, but could legally do so... But should I smoke a joint while on vacation for two weeks in Jamaica and it show up in my pee? Loss of license, job, etc.... The pharmaceutical companies are the ones we need to be fearing more than many Govt entities IMHO.... The power they wield is scary. Christof

Re: adderall
If one chemically analyzes the structures and physiological effects of both Crystal Meth and Adderall, Yes they are very similar and certainly affect the same receptors in the human body. However, the difference Rick is alluding to is real. In reality one can NOT compare crystal Meth vs. Branded Adderall. For one, Crystal meth is generally referred to the street product. Home-grown Crystal Meth is usually done in someone's garage and certainly not in a controlled environement as you would expect to find in a laboratory where Adderall is constituted. I wonder how many laminar flow hoods the everyday crystal meth maker uses.
Crystal meth is made by using Pseudoephedrine, Iodine crystals and Red Phosporus with a shit load of other ingredients such as acetone and muratic acid. It's not unrealistic to think that crystal meth has many impurities. However, Adderall is made in a tablet form by trained laboratory personal. It is mixed salts of amphetamines along with its enatiomers (mirror versions). It's main inactive ingredients are usually benign fillers such as gelatin or methycellulose. Also, as Adderall is made in tablet form it will usually loose some of its "strength" or bioavailability to the liver, where as Crystal meth can be snorted or injected for an immediate and 100% effect. Thus, there are many real differences between the common street version Crystal Meth vs. Adderall even when the chemical structures are basically the same.
