Is insufflating Adderall dangerous?

It is dangerous in that it would damage the nasal/sinus cavities. Also, most probably your friend is NOT getting a larger dose as the pills that he is snorting are at most only 10% active drug, by weight, which means that 90% of inactive material is coating his nasal/sinus cavities. It would be a near-impossibility to recieve all 10% active material in a pill this way, which as you said, since he is not exceeding prescribed amounts, might only allow for a quicker onset of action, yet nothing that would be worth the damage to the cavities incurred. Due to this 10% active material to 90% inactive material ratio, your friend is really just cruding up his nose. He will receive a more consistent and readily absorbed amount of his prescription taking it orally as it is intended. Also, the other responses seemed to be in response to your friend hurting himself by taking too much, which you clearly stated he was not doing. It is highly probable that your friends prescribing doctor took the effects of Adderall (amphetamines, as you probably know) on the cardiovascular system into account when prescribing them.

I don't think this much Monster Energy drink is good for your kidney's plus you would be bouncing off the wall and probably have a stomach ache. It would be system overload.

This is a load of crap, Diphenhydramine is just the generic name for Benedryl an anti-histamine in fact the most powerful member of its family. if this were true then most people that use these drugs for allergies, etc. would show weight gain which they don't.  I will tell you that as an insomniac one drug that will cause you o sleep-eat is Ambien.  If you go to bed slightly hungry you will take the drug and fall asleep wake up in a trance like condition hit the fridge or start cooking.  My wife used to be afraid I would burn down the house because I would leave the stove or oven on.  She would get up and clean up everything at 3am.  Lets just say I don't use that anymore now that lunesta is on the market.

I had a friend that was addicted to adderall.  She would take like 200-300mg each day.  Then, one day when the adderall seemed to do nothing anymore, she turned to Crystal Meth.!  Whatever you do, don't do that!

I agree with LFGX3.\n\n\nRitalin affects a normal brain differently, and it can make you sick.  For the person with normal brain function, there are many potential side effects including elevated blood pressure and heart rate, nausea, agitation, headaches, and insomnia.\n\nEven for those people who do need it the side effects are a lot.  I am taking ritalin and have experienced many of it's side effects.\n\nHowever, even short term use can cause long term side effects.\n\nThis is a good book to read:\nAttention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. Williams, J.(2001)

No, I don't use it in that manner. It's a great cough suppressant, though. You can actually kill yourself "Robotripping". I know of several deaths caused by it. You might want to rething that.

I burned a hole in my stomach from taking NoDoz and Vivarin (another caffiene pill) for a few months...the job I was working demanded that I stay awake until 6:00 a.m. every night.  These aren't bad if they are only occasional but don't take them on a daily basis or you too can burn a hole in your stomach...and let me tell you, it hurt really really bad.

Doesn't sound safe.  Try Benadryl instead

It can be dangerous, yes.  It can trigger a dangerous drop in blood pressure and resulting dizziness and confusion, plus it can cause heart palpitations, shortness of breath, convulsions, and a number of other bad things.  In high enough doses it can be fatal.  However, a small dose, like the normal amount a patient with a heart condition might take,  in a healthy person isn't particularly dangerous, and will probably have no noticible effects.\n\nMedical attention should be sought if the person feels dizzy, short of breath, or has a rapid pulse.

Definately call your doc.  However i CAN tell you that you'll prob want to avoid cold meds with decongestants like pseudo-effedrine (sp?) because it can raise your heart rate, cause/aggrevate heart arrythmias, and raise blood pressure.\nEither way, def call your doc or his nurse to be sure!

Adderall is brand name for a mixture of amphetamine isomers and salts.\n\nIt contains the D-dextro and L-levo isomers of the amphetamine molecule and 3 different salts, including saccarate, sulfate, and aspartate.\n\nIn simplest forms, Adderall is nothing but a big SPEEED concoction.\n\nIt is prescribed to people who have Attention Deficeit Disorder, or as an anorectic (to make fat people not eat so much).\n\nThese other people have obviously no experience in amphetamines at all, and are just trying to encourage you not to do it.  They talk of it making you sick and hyper, that is absolutely untrue.  It will make you completely stimulated in the task that you choose.  Basically, amphetamine is a miracle substance.  It can give you the ability to concentrate in depth, even in extreme situations.  Also, It doesnt necessarily make you "hyper".  It makes you "stimulated".  You wont be jumping off the walls or anything of that nature.  You may talk more and persue more physically demanding tasks then normal.  Infact i think amphetamine actually has somewhat of a calming, chill effect.  It allows you to completely focus your attention to where u please it.  Complete control while under the influence.  \n\nThe main positive effects of Adderall are euphoria, heightened sense of awareness of all senses, ability to concentrate for extended periods of time.\n\nThe main negative effects of Adderall are slightly raised blood pressure, illegality of the chemical, and when the experience is over,(usually 4-5 hours after ingestion depending on whether it is Immediate release or XR extended release), you will feel slightly drained or in drug terms, a comedown.  The harshness of the comedown is directly proportional to the dosage.\n\nWhat strength do you have, I would recommend as it being your first time take no more than 50 mg immediate release, and no more than 75 mg of the XR capsules.  Enjoy, I know I do.

Theoretically, I suppose if your attention drifted while you were crossing the street you could get hit by a car and die or something of the likes. ADD in and of itself will not kill you, no.\n\nThe ADD medication, ritalin is an upper, and if you OD or if you have heart problems, yeah it could kill you- kind of like cocaine or speed can kill you.

Cocaine and adipex are both stimulants.  Depending on the dose they can cause hyperventilation and when you are hyperventilating you are breathing rapid, shallow breaths.
