Oof, that feels so much. Bumping up against the max rec of 70.

I'd usually break them up into halves or thirds(pop open the capsule, poor some into some juice). A full 60 was a "oh shit final tomorrow plus a report due" dosage. You really feel super-human if your body isn't adjusted to it.

There's a lot of danger to it. My friend who'd give me them would regularly take two, at 120mg. He's extremely successful, has since stopped, but a doctor let him know he had some scarring on his heart from a minor heart attack.

Really amazing albeit dangerous drug. he took them since he was 8 or 9 and had no issue with stopping. It doesn't have remotely the same crash as straight adderall(dextroamphetamine). After over a year I still forget to take it. At my current dose it helps me through really rough ruts. When taking breaks, the withdrawal lasts about 1-2 days and then I'm back to "normal".

All this being said, I really wish these rise-n-grinders would cut this abuse out before it gets further restricted. It's been life changing for me in my normal therapeutic dose.

It's actually quite likely op was taking 60mg. In my country they start you off at 20mg and if that doesn't work they increase the dose. If you can take up to 70mg with no real result they pivot to faster acting substances.

The adhd brain that sees results on 60mg would become able to focus "normally" for a "normal" amount of time, get tired as usual, then go to bed at a regular hour.

A lot of hyper productivity people take more than the therapeutic dose but the truth is more complex. Medication that can "fix" the executive function in a lot of adhd brains for a brief period will do crazy things for a non-adhd brain for a longer time, because the non-adhd brain doesn't require fixing or support in that way.
