Quick run down - I barely used stims but have recently been using amphetamines a lot lately

I will usually snort between 20-80mg of amphetamines each day

Yesterday I did 80mg of amphetamines and started having side effects

After laying or sitting in one place for an extended period of time I get dizzy to the point of nearly passing out after standing up or moving from that place

My first thought was I'm dehydrated but I've been drinking a lot of water all day

Does anyone know what the reason for these side effects could be, and are they somehow related to the amphetamine use?

Thanks hope to hear back from you all soon
 
It could be due to one of a few factors:

-Amphetamines cause vaso-constriction, which can cause problems with light-headedness and fainting.
-If you're not eating enough - and its to forget to eat when you're on amphetamines - you could be having a diabetic (blood sugar) crash, which could cause some of the symptoms you're experiencing.
 
If you are drinking enough then yes the most logical conclusion would be you aren't eating properly. Either cut down on the amphet so you have more of an appetite or "force" yourself to eat on speed. You WILL feel better for this and it will in no way ruin your high.

How are you sleeping?
 
What NT said or it could've branched from an anxiety attack. Do you often expirience anxiety from repeated amphetamine use? A lot people that illicility use amphetamines repeatedly can form anxiousness from being stimulated all the time.

I personally have an anxiety disorder. Although Dexedrine/dextroamphetamine is somewhat of an exception, I find that amphetamines definitely make my anxiety issues much worse. Stimulants in general, actually.
 
Is this using street speed or pharmaceutical amphetamines?

80 mg amphetamines is a bit ambiguos and the difference between 80mg adderall, to 80mg Dexedrine to 80mg of street speed is pretty huge.

Make sure you are eating healthy, drinking regularly (water) and sleeping.
 
I second what NeighborhoodThreat said.
I'm prescribed Adderall and have the same symptoms as you, and I go into hypoglycemic episodes very easily which cause lightheadedness and dizziness every time I stand or sit up.
Are you eating enough? It's impossible for me to even drink enough water let alone eat food while on Adderall, so I'd make sure to eat a decently healthy breakfast as soon as you wake up, and wait about an hour before taking any amphetamine. This also helps reduce the crash later on.

If I had to guess, you've not been getting enough essential nutrients lately and your body is getting a little weak.

Try taking a multi-vitamin (the gummy ones are effing delicious), and if you have a hard time chugging down water, try to drink some Gatorade. And eat a little something beforehand, like I said.
I did this, and after months of me nearly passing out and fainting every day, I felt normal within a day or two.
 
Thank you all for the thorough response

Sleep is alright. if I'm doing a larger dose then I'll be up all night and nothing helps. I sacrifice the sacred herb on a nightly basis but when I run out in the next couple days I might have some trouble sleeping if I dose really high again on the speed

The first and second time I did experience some anxiety but that has since gone away. When I'm on I lose a lot of emotion and have blank stare when I'm talking to people

This is all using adderall

I might not be eating enough or drinking as much water as I thought I was. I'm going to shoot for at least a half gallon of water a day
