Adderall and Muscle Hardness

[Rush2112]

I have been prescribed 30mg per day of adderall for ADD. I take 15mg in the morning and another 15mg after lunch. I'm trying to gauge how it's effecting my workouts. I don't feel like my endurance is way up and there certainly aren't any strength gains but I do notice that I have a better mind muscle connection and can really contract my muscles harder if I think about it.

The other thing I've noticed is that my muscles seem to be much harder as well. I'm probably leaning out some but I have a long way to go before you could actually call me lean. It's not killing my appetite right now. If I'm really busy then I don't notice being hungry but if I stop to eat once I start I don't have any problems finishing a meal. At a higher dose that might not be the case but from what I understand 30mg per day for an adult is a starter dose.

Anybody else on adderall and notice anything similar?

Becareful with it.
Your probably loosing some bodyfat by taking it. Speeds up your heart rate.
I remember watching Rich Piana and he said that it restricts blood flow. meaning it would be counterproductive to muscle building.

I wouldn't take pre work out with it.

I did a couple times and it was an aweful feeling

I notice a similar effect I take 5mg during the semester and I notice a drier harder look. Also as you mentioned if I don't watch the clock when it's time to eat I could easily forget to eat. I do feel that I more endurance while taking adderall.

It's definitely a vasoconstrictor which is why even though it can make your horny you have a tough time getting it up. It also (at least temporarily) acts as a prolactin inhibitor which means it can reduce the refractory period. Unfortunately, coming off adderall can cause prolactin rebound and can actually cause your nips to leak.

So, yeah, it's not really something to mess with. I don't think I'll be pressing my doc to try me out on a higher dose.
