  • Over the past few years, I have taken 60mg/day generic adderall IR to be functional at work. I don’t usually take any when I go on vacation or when I have time off work.

    While the drug is effective, the only side effects that I have noticed are a sharp drop in my appetite and minor dry mouth. After the drug has been metabolized, I haven’t noticed any lingering effects.

    I have had the best results with amphetamine-dextroamphetamine produced by Teva. My pharmacist once provided amphetamine-dextroamphetamine as a substitute for Amphetamine Salts Combo, and I learned that the salt-combo was not as effective, and the side effects were less tolerable. I asked my doctor to specify my preference when writing my prescription. There is some controversy about whether the manufacturer affects the effectiveness of the drug formulation, but I detect a clear difference in my performance.






  • I’ll share my recent experience with this: I’ve always wanted to ride a motorcycle, but up until this year, I’ve never been able to fully trust myself that I wouldn’t do something stupid with it.

    After some self-reflection and review of how I drive my car (No distractions, fully focused on the road and other drivers, no accidents), I decided to treat myself for my birthday (oh shit, I’m 35) and take a Motorcycle Safety Course. The experience was challenging and a lot of fun, and I decided to buy my affordable dream bike instead of going for a beater and upgrading later. I bought a 650cc Kawasaki and all the safety gear before even taking the dmv riding test, and I spent the next week in a nearby (empty) parking lot practicing the low speed maneuvers taught in the safety course and went on to pass my riding test and get licensed.

    I love to ride my motorcycle, but it is so disconcerting to realize just how absolutely invisible you are to every other person on the road. High beams during daylight hours helps a little bit, but holy shit other drivers are stupid. Every time I think about how hot/humid it is and consider skipping my armor, I think about 2 weeks ago when I was making a protected left turn and a stopped vehicle with a red light decided to proceed through the intersection while I was still in it. All the gear, all the time.
