    I got 20mg of Amphetamine, do you think that is too much
    In a few days I need to study very hard, and I got 20mg of Amphetamine. I never took Amphetamine before, so do you think it is too much or should I just cut it in half. How long does the effects last for?

    Personally, if you have not been perscribed something or if its not an over the counter medicine you shouldn't take it at all. You don't know if you could be allergic to it. And the sale of perscription drugs is illegal. Therefore unless you have a perscription I wouldn't take this at all, ever...

    Amphetamine is "Amphetamine (USAN) or amfetamine (INN) is a psychostimulant drug that is known to produce increased wakefulness and focus in association with decreased fatigue and appetite. Amphetamine is chemically related to methamphetamine and lisdexamfetamine, a class of potent drugs that act by increasing levels of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain, inducing euphoria.[2][3] The class includes prescription CNS drugs commonly used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is also used to treat symptoms of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and the daytime drowsiness symptoms of narcolepsy, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Initially, amphetamine was more popularly used to diminish the appetite and to control weight. Brand names of the drugs that contain, or metabolize into, amphetamine include Adderall, Vyvanse, and Dexedrine, as well as Benzedrine in the past."

    Yes, but if I don't take it, I will fail my last year of high school, and I will waste another year of my life.

    Hello S:

    If you DO take it, you might waste more years than that.

    Wow! How did you get it? I sure wouldn't mess with that stuff! When I was your age, young people could get it easily. That's why it's prescription only now -- too much can go wrong when taking it.

    I'm sorry but that's not true, all you need to do to successfully finish high school is a lot of hard work and studying. Don't try to cram all that knowledge into your brain over one night, it just doesn't work. Think of it this way, if you take this drug, and you have a possible deadly allergic reaction you could die, would worrying about one year of high school be worth that much to you? I dropped out of high school, regretted it, I went back to adult schooling two years later and I now have completed it. Failing one year happens to a lot of people, no one is perfect but if you work hard to attain what you want you can do anything

    Yes, it will not help you study, it will make you nervous, and when you start coming down, you will be of no use taking a test

    And you will not learn a years study in one night, you either know it, or you don't, if you wasted the year it was during the year. Now it is time to find out if you did waste your year or not

    He's talking about side effects and aftereffects.

    You're a fool if you take it. And if you haven't kept up with your studies, one night of doped or undoped cramming won't help. Been there, tried it. Didn't work.

    And there are perhaps 1 million other 'but's' you haven't done yet either, BUT there just might come-a-day when you will(or won't), living in denial of the possibilities and taking chances, well,it's your life, none of us are going to tell you to take this,I actually wonder why you even wrote this thread?

    Hello minor:

    I wasn't talking about hard time. I was talking about addiction. I know, I know - you're different.

    I wrote this thread to ask if I should take 10mg or 20mg. Now you people are saying its wrong and I will screw up my life if I do. I have seen people do several times, and they didn't screw up there lives. Most of them are in college cause they did take it. It is not life I am taking heroin or crack. It is not life I am committing a huge federal crime. I am just trying to study.

    Why then do you need 'help' studying?

    Are you behind?Trying to make more effort?Where are your priorities?Studying or partying?

    None of us are saying that you are going to become addicted, but the possibility is always there, it does happen.You can't know how many people have thought just as you are and have ended up where I am, or worse.

    Recovery after a long career in the drug world isn't all that it's cracked up to be.. we are just trying to let you know that using speeders for study can progress to more and more use,the use makes you come into contact with others who use or sell,etc,making it easier to get more,or something different, but again, it's your life, we have been there,we have already experienced what we needed to and some of us don't want to return to it.

    I hope you don't begin this course, the study time and career path isn't one of higher learning,

    Just a note:

    Have you noticed your wording?

    I'll highlight the ones I see that you might not be aware of that are suspect.

    Actually you are. If this was not prescribed for you, you are committing a felony and so is the person you got it from.

    Absolutely not under any circumstances.
    It will make you irritable and anxious.
    Your brain will be working a million miles per hour and you won't get any work done because you won't be able to concentrate.
    Plus, when you come down you will feel awful and in no mood to do any kind of academic work.

    Throw it down the toilet and study hard like everyone else; trust me things are never as bad as they seem, well, unless they are, but, where exams are concerned, everyone gets nervous.
    Get revising and leave that rubbish alone.
    Good luck :)

    It will also put your brain into such overdrive that you will get confused as to what the right answers are.

    Shinokiba, this is a stupid idea. Plain and simple. What you should be doing is studying at least a little every day up until your finals. Putting it off until the last minute is the first bad idea. And then taking drugs is the second, much stupider idea. Is that what you plan to do all through college too? Depend on drugs forever?
