I've got ADHD, I am medicated with Dextroamphetamine sulphate. I abuse the shit out of the pills to try and 'get high' but I don't get high. Matter of fact, this week that has just passed, starting from Monday to Sunday, I've consumed 110 5mg Dexamphetamine tablets.

I've gotten sleep, eaten food every single day night/whether it be for 1 or 2 hours to 6 hours, but nonetheless I feel like absolute fucking shit whenever I take the pills.

I'm paranoid, my vision is fucked up, high anxiety, headaches, physical agony/pain, can't communicate with people because I'm so fucking anxious so when I speak I come off wrong and look retarded/shy, I don't get any euphoria, I have stopped exercising even when I exercise every single day regardless, depressed, cold like symptoms, feels like liver/kidney's/stomach area (abdomen) is being poisoned, grey shit's when I do shit, decreased muscle tone, tinnitus, fucked up thoughts and the list goes on and on.

I get the complete opposite reaction to a normal person who takes D's.

Is something wrong with me?

yes.

don't expect a rational response from this site. there are no medical professionals employed by this site to determine your problems/needs.

go and see a different doctor, who may be able to offer you a more complementary solution to your current needs.

always get a second opinion!
 
You probably do not have ADHD and have been misdiagnosed...or try taking your medication as prescribed by your doctor?! ;)

That line just there should make you stop, whats the point of taking that many dexi's if they do nothing for you? It's just destroying your life mate, go see a doctor and talk it over with them.
 
If you really want to "feel the high", maybe try plugging the pills? I couldn't tell you a dose as my experience with dexis is very limited and i have no experience plugging. I understand it to be second only to IV though.
 
Uhm, maybe try lower your doses a bit? Sounds like you're taking a lot of those pills and what you're experiencing sound a lot like a typical stimulant overdose.

Try tone it down a bit, take a few at a time and don't go on long binges, see how that goes for you.
 
Yeh im also going through benzo withdrawal aswell. from 6mg clonazepam down to 20mg diazepam in less than 5 weeks.
 
This can be tricky.

You're taking too much and you're not going to get anything out of them until you have a decent break. It sounds like you'd be much better off without the dex. at the moment. I'd consider just forgetting about this drug altogether at this point.

Things are just going to get worse if you keep taking that amount. The more you take the crappier they work. Lots of people have reported that after abusing dexamphetamine the original therapeutic effects never return.

If I were you I'd tell my doctor everything that's going on. Yeah, you'll probably never get another dex. script again but you'll be better off in the long run. If you're finding the symptoms of ADD that debilitating you could always try something else with less potential for abuse.
 
yep, anybody can see there is something is wrong with you. You're addicted to your Dexies.

You need to cut down how many you take, simple as that. The addiction is psychological rather than physical so you NEED SOME SELF CONTROL.

What I suggest is when you get your script filled, get a heap of little plastic snap lock baggies ($25 bag size) and fill each one with 9 pills (1 days doseage for u) Then each day just grab a bag and off u go. Seems to lower the temptation to take more cos u have to dig into the next days dose. This worked for my brother.

If you still live with parents or have an understanding partner, you could get them to keep your pills and just give you your dose each day, then you cant take too many.

You need to recognise that you have a problem and also that the solution to the problem is in YOUR hands. You have to have the strength to say no. Besides who wants to be strung out all the time.
 
This is a thread seen too many times, sadly. It goes like this...."So, guys, I have been taking 10 pills of (Insert drug name) a day, for the past few weeks. I have been abusing the shit out of it, but for some reason, I know longer feel the effects? What the hell is going on?"

Word of advice, take a drug holiday, ASAP. Thinking more logically, would do wonders as well.
 
yea u need to re evaluate if they are worth more to you as a medicine or as a means of gettign high.
 
Here's a suggestion you may think is odd but worth a try in my opinion:

Change your diet.

Drastically. Do you have a varied and healthy diet and do you exercise regularly? Are you fit? Do you get enough sleep? Sleep deprevation can really really fuck with your head.

Maybe a mod could move this to the Healthy Living forum? Might get more helpful answers there?
 
Smells like a troll too me. Did you actually come here looking for advice, or for someone to validate how badass your dexy habit is?

Yeh im also going through benzo withdrawal aswell. from 6mg clonazepam down to 20mg diazepam in less than 5 weeks.

This probably has a lot to do with it too. Benzo's are a bitch
 
I'm going to assume that everything you said is true (however unlikely it seems)

Firstly, all your symptoms sound like your coming down from a hardcore binge. Which 115 dexies in a week would be. If your going to take a months worth of medication in one week you should expect this.

My brother has severe ADHD. H is also prescribed dex for it. He went through all the testing and stuff as well and was eventually put onto 3 x 5mg dex a day. I know everyones brain is different but perhaps your dosage is too high? you could talk to your doc/psych/specialist about lowering it gradually.

PS- I dont think i've met anyone who's taken 100+ dexies in a week, thats fucking excessive.
 
take your prescribed amount, stop trying to get high off them it isnt going to work.
122 in 7 days is extremely stupid. thats 18 a day...
 
Addictions:
1979 to 1981: d-l- methamphetamine. 1 gram daily (1.5 grams at peak of addiction). Cannabis daily. Tobacco daily. Most I was awake: 12 days. Used for 7-8 days and burned for 2 days.

1999 to 2001: crystallized d- methamphetamine. 2 grams daily. Cannabis daily. Tobacco daily. Most I was awake: 7 days. Used for 4-5 days and burned for 24 hours.

Education:
Yes. During final year of high school in 79. Already was using during weekdays. Warned about dangers of cannabis + addiction, cocaine + addiction, heroin + death from overdose. Speed freaks weren't an issue to the teachers. Shrugged it off.

Sources:
Older speed freaks who had been using continuously for 4 years prior to me. No surprise, most of my sources were methamphetamine-addled clandestine chemists for criminal groups. Use your searching skills to find who were responsible for the masses of 1970's methamphetamine manufacturing. Nowadays, Erowid and drug forums.

Peace and good health.
 
howdy all,

i have unapproved a few posts in this thread because they were unnecessary and against the forum guidelines, if this continues there will be no choice but to close this thread. People come to bluelight to seek advice from others who may have been in the same situation and ask their experiences.

if you have nothing worthwhile to add please feel free not to post, as for the original posters questions;

from an AOD social work perspective i highly recommend you go and see a mental health worker and discuss this with them, over use of prescribed medication can lead to even more negative physiological/psychological side effects.

if you cut your psychiatrist out altogether you are running the risk of further deteriorating, like someone said above seek a second opinion, also within the public health system you have the right to make a complaint; i would ask to speak to a social worker in the area and get them to assist you to do so.
 
thanks madmick. Im a tough dude. and barclayton, that post was obviously a fake. i stole that info from some guy in The Hive archives and made it look like i was hardcore. this is just my second account, im really Anon Ymous but i got banned for a bit.

SImple solution, stop taking D5.

Easy, not physical withdrawals.
Benzo's on the other hand....fuck them!
