I’ve got kind of a complex question here, and I’m not sure if anyone can answer it, but I’ll give it a shot anyways.
Okay, so I’m diagnosed ADD (age 17, not a little kid… we all had ADD in 1st grade) and take medication to regulate it. You can banter all you want about whether ADD actually exists, but I don’t care. Point is, I take a prescribed amphetamine that focuses my mind and speeds up heart rate (which is strange, as its supposed to calm the user, but whatever).
I’d read in K-Train’s journal that A314 has a focusing/calming effect on the user. I’ve heard that IG (which is a Phero I’m looking into testing) is like a watered down/little brother version of A314. So I was wondering if IG would at all conflict with my sense of focus when used at the same time as my medication.
You pose a good question here. The A314 actually helps me to stay focused when I wear it in conjunction with taking adderall. I haven’t used the IG in the same context, but it shouldn’t cause any issues.
Also, the effects of the amphetamine based product you’re taking (increased heartrate, etc) are common. The goal of the stimulant in your system is to help balance and focus your mental processes, not your physical.
I was diagnosed at 16 yrs old w/ ADD and was put on Dexadrine. That shit helped me to get through school… otherwise I would have never graduated.
Yeah, I’ve had a number of people recommend IG in lue of A314 due to my age, so thats what I intend to use.
I’m on some new sort of time released medication thats only been on the market for like a year or two, so I try to make certain that there aren’t any known problems that I can avoid, but from what I read it looks to be all clear.
I think you’ll do well with IG The main phero in IG is androsteRone and though I don’t use IG myself, I have played around with pure eRone and I find it calming. Not in a sedating way but very centering, it’s an internal type of calm.
Im an ADDer myself, and I’m on Dexedrine. I haven’t found many phero’s that I react badly to, the only ones that I don’t seem to do well with are ones that are specifically calming, they have a very sedative effect on me. P86 is one of them, it makes me really dopey & I crash in the afternoon with it…makes me absolutely pooped. TAC is a bit similar but not in such a zombie like way, it’s very relaxing both physically & mentally for me so I often use it to unwind before bedtime when I’ve had a stressful day at work…it helps me get to sleep
One other phero I must mention is TAF. I absolutely love it! It’s great for sharpening your senses and giving you that extra focus boost. On days that are super stressful and I pull long shifts TAF is a great complement to my Dex.
The new meds you’re on…slow release and relatively new on the market. Is it Focalin XR you’re talking about?
