Default Staying up for 60 hours on adderall

I want to stay up for 60hrs to study for finals. So this means not only staying awake, but also being able to function at a normal (preferably above normal) rate. I don't want to stare at a text book for 20min and not learn anything, or fall asleep during my final.

I have 285mg of addys.
I railed 15mg about 4hours ago.

I think my plan is to pop a 20mg pill every 10hrs to stay awake. The pills are nice because its a slow release. Then I'll mash up and rail 20mg when I feel tired or not functioning as well.

I suspect Ill do ~200mg over the course of the next 2 days.

Good plan, or will I die/tweak out?

When you finally do sleep, plan on being out of it for at least twelve hours. And you might want a Valium or something, because you'll be tweaked.

And you'll probably build up tolerance, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Have fun, I guess. :)

Oh, and why do you need to stay up for almost three days just to study?

Or you could have a heart attack and die.

Or this. Tachycardia is always fun.

I hope you aren't planning to go to the exams after you stay up for 60 hours, you'd be lucky if you managed to study effectively after 30 hours, never mind take an exam. The comedown will probably also last a couple days if not more, you're probably going to want some benzos and weed for afterwards if you actually go through with this.

I don't advise doing this, but if you do...

TAKE MAGNESIUM PILLS. Seriously, go to the store (most any semi-large grocery store will work) and buy either Magnesium pills or milk of magnesia. Take one magnesium pill (or 5ml milk of magnesia) every 4 hours. Mg prevents the shit-tons of brain damage and oxidative stress that would happen by doing adderall for 60hrs. Look up NMDA antagonists and neuroprotection, seriously, YOU NEED TO BE TAKING LOTS OF MAGNESIUM. Milk of magnesia (and Magnesium stuff in general) acts as a laxative at high dosages, but don't worry, those dosages are triple what you'd be taking.

Also, somewhere in the middle, you'll run out of neurotransmitters (mainly dopamine). Look into JoePedo's Phenylalanine cocktail. Or just buy a few "5 hr energys" (these http://www.5hourenergydrink.com/previews/5hourenergy_1_ad_450pix.jpg). Alternatively, if you live near a dollar store, they might have an imitation "5hr energy" drink that's way cheaper. Take a phenylalanine cocktail at about the 24, 36, and 48 hr mark, or, if drinkin' 5hr energy, split each bottle into 2 doses, take (1/2 bottle) at 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, and 52 hrs (every six hrs starting at hr 18).

60 hrs on adderall is probably dangerous, but the magnesium should prevent any long term damage, and the 5hr energy should prevent nutritional deficiencies. On the other hand, you might die of a heart attack. Hopefully not though....

Ive done 40hr 75mg trips before to study, several of them.

I didnt think a 60hr 200mg trip would be so bad because its spaced out over a long time.

Ill be monitering my heart rate, at what rate should I be worried?
Ill also monitor my blood pressure if I can find one of those blood messure things (where could i find one?)

Maybe it cut it down to just 20mg every 10hrs, is that safe?

you'll get more done if you actually sleep. tweaker noobs commonly make the mistake your gonna make by staying up too long. hey bud, after 24 hours your retention is lower than without amps all together...


the mind has to recharge ya dig? plus a crash after 60 hours really sucks, you don't have enough addys to stay up that long, and you'll loose 12-16 hours in sleep recovery, where as you could sleep in 6 hour shifts and get more done in the end...

Yeah don't do this. I did this earlier this year thinking it was a good Idea. I had a lot of work to do and I figured it was a good plan to stay up multiple days. By the end I was significantly dumber. I then slept through the classes I was preparing for. I would suggest trying to sleep some. Definitely do not go to exams after being awake for many days. Your brain will be in auto pilot.

First off, ^^^this. Sleep does so much shit adderall could never do. Not nearly as much fun though... But yea, take breaks. 18hrs up 6 hrs under. Rinse and repeat.

milk of magnesia will make you shit your brains out for 60 hours...

But, if you do go the way of speed binging, follow my advice. Milk of magnesia (or any magnesium supplement) will have this effect at high dosage. For instance, the laxative dosage on milk of magnesia is 20ml. I said take 5ml. It won't have that effect at 5ml.

Also of note - once you're stretching past your normal amount of hours awake, it will take more and more adderall to keep you up, let alone keep you alert.

If you do decide to do this, you will need some kind of nutrition. A multivitamin a day, plus milk shakes/smoothies/health shakes. They're easy to get down when you're taking amphetamines and can't put down solid food.

If you don't get an actual night of sleep(6 hours+), at least take naps. When you're getting tired, take an hour or two nap if you refuse to sleep solid, then pop another when you get up.

Its not a great idea, but if you can fall asleep fast enough, take an adderall right before you lay down. You'll wake up in an hour or so once it kicks in fully. It won't be good, deep sleep by far, but its better than none at all.

Most everything else has been covered. I'd reccomend just using the adderall during normal waking hours and sleeping like normal. Then eat when you wake up and repeat.

The only times ive heard of people staying up for a time period like 60 hours straight is when they were in combat, and your mind goes into survival mode. Right afterwards they crash and sleep for days. You will definitely get a lot more done if you atleast get 5-6 hours sleep. Even 4 with a coffee and im ready. But trying to stay up even 30 hours is hard on me, i do it about once a week as i work night shifts, and weekends i sleep at night so im constantly going back and forth. But for college i always made sure i slept.

My entire life since my sophomore year in HS has revolved around 3-5 hours of sleep every 2-3 nights. I've spent 4-5 days awake at times with only 3-5 hours of sleep after. It really sucks, but I'm stuck like this. Take it from a person who now has a fucked up pattern and has only slept 8 hours consecutively twice in the past 5 years... DON'T DO THIS. I cannot stress how dumb this is, even moreso with adderall scooting you along.

I think that's a potentially dangerous dose if you took it all at once, is that what it added up to be once the binge was over or was it really all in a single sitting? How did you take it, in the nose or orally? Also, do you have a tolerance to amphetamines from repeated use or natural insensitivity to them?

I'm just curious how much someone would actually have to take to cause serious complications. I think the LD50 for an average human is around 400mg orally, but I don't remember the exact numbers in terms of mg/kg. If I'm right though you were coming pretty close assuming you're non-tolerant and average weight.

My e-dick doesn't compare, the most I've done in a short period of time was 60mg orally and 40mg insufflated over the course of the night/morning of the next day, and then another 60mg orally when the first dose wore off. Your actual dick was probably a lot smaller than mine though.

Not such a good idea, you'll be hallucinating form lack of sleep by then. 24-36 hours is about the most you want to stay up with full functionality. 48 hours is pushing it, 3 days the hallucinations start, and days 4-7 you see spiders and such.

In my experience drinking alcohol to stave off the comedown works for a while but then you feel worse once that hangover kicks in on top of the comedown. Relatively small amounts of benzos and weed will be enough to make it go away very nicely though, like 20mg Valium and a bowl or two. I like to take 50mg or so of diphenhydramine with the Valium to increase the chances of getting some decent sleep, especially since at least for me the weed seems to bring back the speedy feeling a bit and makes it harder to sleep. The thing that weed helps with most on the comedown though is making it a thousand fucking times easier to eat, which is the main thing you need to do to feel better besides sleep. If you can manage it jacking off can also help you feel better, probably because of the endorphins that get released or some shit of that nature.

My strategy is usually something like take the Valium and diphen, wait a little bit, smoke a bowl, do my best to eat something with as much nutrition in as little material as possible, take a warm shower, and then lie down, try to relax and let the diphen and benzos do their job. Make sure you've got plenty of time to sleep, especially after being up for that long. Even with the assistance of other drugs it'll probably take you a while to fall asleep and Nothing sucks more than finally falling asleep after lying there all night and then having to wake up 2 hours later.

Good advice man, I just came across some valium last night and did 20 mgs but really didn't get retarded. I was pretty gone though since I had smoked a lot of weed and drank a couple shots and a beer. I could just tell thats the best way to relax from the shitty adderall comedown.

It depends on a number of factors more than just sleep...food for example.

I agree though, it would be a little more than 48 hours, probably closer to 56 or so depending.

If you can force yourself to eat while you're on the addies the comedown will be so much lighter, I know its hard as hell to eat anything on them but it really does make a huge difference. Make sure to stay hydrated too, obviously.
