So I was talking with this kid at school and he offered me a couple of his "Adderalls", free of charge since he knew I was looking to get my hands on a few and because they are prescribed to him. Anyways, he gave me a little blue and white capsule that said 50Mg on it. Now the kid isn't too bright, and says "those are adderall 100mg" I first off know he's lying by reading 50mg on the pill itself and I have seen my share of pills to know that that's not what adderall looks like. Before deciding to mess with them I looked them up and it came out they were Vyvanse a pill similar to adderall and when I asked him why he said they WERE adderall he said "oh my bad their basically the same anyway." So I came here to check this out, are these really the same thing? And for a first-time adderall pop for someone with no tolerance, is 50Mg too much? What's the best way to take these, I have 3 50Mg pills right now and I'm wondering how to go about getting the most out of them. Thanks for the help, and sorry if this is kind of a not so intelligent thread post but I figured some of you would have answers to my questions.

Yeah they ARE basicaly the same anyway. It is still an amphetamine ut it has lke a amino acid or something attached to it that makes it active only orally. The strong acid in the stomach cleaves off the amino acid. But i have heard talk about people using a strong acid like hcl to cleave off the amino acid outside the stomach. the best way to take it is orally because that is the only way it wil work unless you cleave off the whatever it is with a strong acid.

Thank you very much for your honest and insightful information, I appreciate that.
I have heard stories of Vyvanese being pressured onto people who take adderall, by their doctors. And I wondered "Why are they trying to sway people onto this, there's gotta be a reason that makes it obsolete...". And you had the reason I was looking for! Because it only works orally, this will decrease street use (not by much but quite a bit) because a lot of people I know like to snort it because of the "up" feeling you get from it being insufflated. Again, I appreciate your answer. I'm not really sure how adderall works when taken orally, I only have heard great stories from people snorting them.

insulfation only makes the onset faster. You get the same stimulant effects from oral use of adderal as you would from snorting but it just takes longer to kick in.

yeah vyvanse was created to decrease abuse and diversion but it can still be abused anyway.

That is true. I did a little more reading up on them (I am a precautious person and am very paranoid about getting in trouble for stuff like this). I found out that if you take adderall, if you get drug tested amphetamines will show in your system (because they are a branch of amphetamine) and I don't think that would look too good on me...Because it doesn't say (on the test) "METH" but it says "Amphetamines" and that would be seen to the tester as "METH" or a similar class of drug. That's not really good. I think I will try to get a lil coke (even though the price is much higher) at least that's out in 3 days and will probably do me a little better. Thanks.

^^^it will show up on a drug test as amphetamines not as methamphetamine worry not
