Effects - Does adderall tolerance minimize the effects of ecstasy

[dandan55]

if swim takes adderall regularly will the effects of taking ecstasy be weakened?

SWIM used this logic... which ended up getting him a two and a half day stay at the hospital for ecstasy OD.

SWIM is very interested in the different effects of the many amphetamine isomers. SWIM found a government article regarding the topic. The experiment is nowhere near conclusive, but it should open the floor for some discussion.

The study involves MDMA, MDA, and MA(methamphetamine).

According to the study, cross-tolerance only developed between MDMA(methylenedioxymethamphetamine) and MA(methamphetamine), while the MDA(methylenedioxyamphetamine) cross-tolerance was non-existant.

It seems that while seperate isomers of methamphetamine will create a cross-tolerance, there will be no cross-tolerance between the much broader group of amphetamine isomers.

So, to relate this back to SWIyour question, Adderall(dextro/levoamphetamine) should NOT create a cross tolerance for Ecstasy(methylenedioxymethamphetamine); BUT it will if SWIyou have pills that contain just MDA(methylenedioxyamphetamine) because they are both just different isomers of plain amphetamine.

Hope this helps.
