I have been taking amphetamines for approximately a year now and tolerance has inevitably developed.

 

Now, it seems no matter what dose of Adderall I take it doesn't work. There is no focus, motivation, euphoria, not much appetite suppressant effect. Nothing.

 

But taking even a minute dose of Chelated Magnesium with it and it is back to what it was before.

(Focus like the first month I took it and getting things done.)

 

So is it

Increasing the absorption of Adderall, or potentiating it, treating a magnesium deficiency I may have had or

 

somehow reducing the tolerance to Adderall. (But I am taking it almost the same time. Can it do this?)

 

Does anyone have any ideas to the answer?

Magnesium is a NMDA antagonist albeit a weak one. NMDA antagonists have indeed shown to be effective for Amphetamine tolerance reversal. Most people don't notice much on Magnesium though and need stronger alternatives like the pharmacologically dirty drug Dextromethorphan or the prescription drug Memantine. Consider yourself lucky Magnesium does the job for you.

Interesting. I was thinking it may have just provided an alkaline environment in my stomach thus potentiating it, so I was wary about adding it in as it may actually increase my tolerance to drug.

 

I have searched for the reversal effect you are talking about but all I could find was that it prevented the development of tolerance. Probably it's anecdotal?
