My sleeping schedule is f**ked up again so I'm pulling an all nighter. I usually have adderall to keep me awake and alert after an allnighter, but I don't have any right now. My friend is giving me some focalin, which I've never tried. Tell me what you think of focalin, is it as good as adderall or is it better or is it not as good? I usually take around 30-60mg of adderall, so how much focalin should I take?

Never heard of Focalin. Did it just come out? I am usually up to date with the amphetamine group drugs but Focalin is new to me.
I am an Adderall girl myself.
How did it work, the Focalin?

I took the focalin, and while it was good, it wasn't much compared to adderall.
I don't think it's new, my friend had it and didn't take it anymore because it made her mouth dry.
i think its a brand name more a new sustained realease ritalin (methylphenidate) but don't hold me to this its a long time ago i think i read this. ritalin will never beat adderal although i have only used rit and never really liked its effects due tounsmoothhighs and lows(sorry if this is nonsensei'm really f**ked at the mo) but from wot ive heard adderal is much better. also if i'm rite focalin is sustained realease so wont produce a real rush high like instant pills do. but u could crush it. Now to go off topic a bit. I am very high on a large dose of ritalin at the mo not sure how much sorry. and normally i get a real anxiety feelin afta an hour or too but i took about 15 -20 mg of diphenhydramine and i think 25mg of salacylimide (sorry about the spelling) which are both calmuatives and 4 or 5 hrs later i'm still rushn and no anxiety. ive never had this effect before. there are sum other possible reasons now but ask me about them if u want or i'll bable for eva. sorry bout any probs with this

oh i know about focalin. I do both, focalin and ritalin. The diff is that focalin is (in my experience) a longer lasting, yet not as strong as ritalin is. But still same effects. But focalin also is twice as potent as ritalin also. But when i do focalin, i snort a 10mg pill cuz thats what i get when ido get it.

As far medicinal use of Focalin ( dexmethylphenidate HCl) goes it is short acting version of ritalin, used by some to study after their daily medicine wears off. It is essentially ritalin except that only the most active/important isomer is in it .Focalin is a refined formulation of Ritalin (d,l-methylphenidate HCl). SWIM has never snorted it but taking just 2 pills (40mgs total, i think)Is likea short durationmeth/dexamphetamine. It builds tolerance super quick,or at least thats what SWIM has experienced. IT is pretty cool

Ur thinking of FOCALIN....this is a form of ritalin with it's active ingridient of methylphedinate. Not completely sure about the difference between focalin and ritalin but google focalin and you'll find the info needed. not the same as adderall but surprisingly better effects than ritalin, research for yourself first

Focalin is much like Ritalin, the difference however is that while Ritalin is composed of methylphenidate, Focalin is strictly dextromethylphenidate. It has more powerful effects but nothing to get worked up about.
if i have ADD will it take a lot more to F#$@ me up
