Down the rabbit hole
So yesterday, exactly 24 hours ago, I consumed 60mg IR of Adderall at once. This is my first time taking it in at least 4 months. I had/ a having a horrible reaction to it. I came up pretty damn fast, faster and more intense than ever before. I knew I was in for quite a long unpleasant ride. About 12 hours ago, I started having constant panic. Racing thoughts. Reading about amphetamine psychosis online and freaking out. Very uncomfortable mentally and physically.

Now, my pupils are still huge. My heart is still somewhat racing/ pounding hard. I cannot sleep. Still a bit anxious. I have Doxylamin (antihistamine), which may or may not help for sleep....seems to be russian roulette by reading up on it. Any input? And why would I still be all tweeked out? I'm getting worried about brain damage or something. i usually never use stims btw.....Have been drinking loads of water; but cannot stomach anything the whole time.....

Sorry for being so scatterbrained.....
 
Don't worry about brain damage from taking 60mg of Adderall at once. The first time I ever took Adderall I took 90mg IR (I was young and didn't know anything about drugs, and my friend thought they were the 20mg pills and told me to take 3 only to find out they were the 30mg pills, although I was going to be tweeked either way) and was up for almost 3 days straight.

Keep your thoughts positive. The Adderall is going to magnify whatever you are thinking about and lock your mind onto it, so keep it positive. Playing video games can help with this, and if you wanted to be more productive you can study if you are a student. Cleaning also works if you want to keep busy and tire yourself out a bit.

You are staying hydrated which is good, and if you can't stomach any food then I suggest trying some soup or stew. I was always able to eat that when my appetite was super suppressed from the Adderall. Any type of bread was impossible for me to stomach, but I could eat meats, fruits, and soups.

As for finally getting you some sleep, the doxylamine should help. I wouldn't mess with any melatonin which some people suggest as an OTC sleep aid, so doxylamine is probably your best bet. If you have any herbal teas around I suggest taking the doxylamine with some sleepy time tea or chamomile.
 
Thanks for the reply dude. I am in Ukraine at the moment. Dosed on my adderall yesterday(like an idiot), walked to the pharmacy, and asked for the almighty phenazepam.......which is RX only now apparently (wasn't a couple years ago last time I was here). So not having a cushion is rough right now, ESPECIALLY after that adverse reaction. I am just beggining to get really giddy/my vision is starting to mess up and I feel totally out of it. (Just thought I saw a person.... was the smoke from my cigarette....) Going out to try and get some food now....then I'll take the doxylamine with chamomile tea and try my best to pass out. Thanks for the response.

Tried to bribe the cute pharmacist. Nyettttttt. No phenazepam. But she gave me Seroquel. I'm having second thoughts. I was given Seroquel (300mg) once in rehab for sleep once coming off of benzos and dope. Worst restless legs EVER. I literally almost had a psychotic episode. And I'm pretty sure I WILL snap if I get restless legs today. And I have no idea how to dose this stuff anyways.

Shadow people are on their way though.... gotta do something.

Only thing to worry about is your anxiety. Nothing happends when you take 60mg IR...

Seroquel will work well. You don't need 300mg though. Start with 50mg or so, it should knock you right now.

May cause sleep paralysis which can worsten the anxiety.
 
Yea guys, i ended up taking the doxylamin first to test it out, and I feel asleep for about 2 hours. Woke up feeling a bit better actually. But I was drenched in sweat and it's the most foul smelling odor I have ever experienced.....it smells like death. Still feeling out of it though...my anxiety is not near baseline yet, thoughts still kinda racing (I'm not bipolar/ manic)

One question...... if you don't properly eat whilst speeding, (haven't ate in about 50 hours), does that cause brain damage? I thought I read somewhere that it really strains not only your whole body, but also your brain., which can cause damage.... and I'm kinda OCD and worrying about that. Don't just tell me what I want to hear lol :-P

You have to eat. You think you cannot eat, but you can trust me. While on Adderall, you just can't eat solid foods, like, chewing and swallowing is...hard to explain, it's like you got no patience to do that and you got no water in your mouth, no saliva. In this case, you make liquid food by combining fruits, vegetables with some glucose, vitamins etc. and you drink it. You will be surprised that drinking it is super easy even when you're really tweaked.

I just have a bottle of that shit next to me and drink from it from time to time, everything the body needs is in there. If you start cooking and eating solid foods, fuck that, you won't make it. I picture myself on Dexedrine trying to eat a bowl of rice...fuck that man I'd rather run 10 miles.

Also, toss in some ranitidine hydrochloride 150mg if you don't eat, your stomach will thank you especially if you take Tylenol.

Yea, you're right it it absolutely impossible to eat solids. I usually drink protein shakes and all liquid calories/ milk when i use. I got wayyyy too anxious and paranoid this time to even think rationally and try to attempt to eat anything, but I did my absolute best to keep my water level high. By the end of last night, I straight up thought I was right smack in the middle of the Crimean Offensive and Nazi's were prowling the street. Wasn't too bad as I was prepared for it; but I think if I had good nutrition in me, it would not have gotten to that level...especially only on the second day with only one single dose......
 
Man, I would placey bets that you will be fine. I actually react to adderall just like you, that's why I don't take it anymore. I take like 30mg of of it and im up for 2 days anxious as hell and on edge, usually glues to the computer chain smoking cigs and bud. Best bet is to try and get some food in your sysyem even though it'll probably hard, and drink lots of water (runs straight through ya on addys).
 
This is getting absolutely ridiculous. So I ate food, drank more water, took a warm bath......took the doxylamin and only got 2 hours of sleep in what is now 50 hours. The doxylamin gave me a bit of restless legs, so I definitely did not take any Seroquel just in case that worsens it.

I am so FUCKING BORED of being awake. I am so loopy. So depressed. I just want to sleep.....

Glad to hear others react the same way to Adderall though.

Can someone give me suggestions of what to do? How to occupy my time?

Will alcohol knock me out? My pupils are still dialated...and I'm still on edge....slowest metabolism everrrrrrr

To state the obvious benzos would help. If it was ME I would drink. Alcohol doesnt really knock you out but it will slow your repiration and heart rate and should chill you out.
 
^ Getting drunk is quite neurotoxic, almost as neurotoxic as abusing amphetamines. The OP is quite anxious about neurotoxicity, so he should do his best to just fucking eat already.

This is why it's bad to abuse amphetamines, especially L-amphetamine containing Adderall. You're starting to reach full-blown psychosis with the shadow people, you need to STOP thinking and just put some gas in the fuel tank or else you're gonna have problems with your adrenergic fuel pump! ;) Yeah, man, just eat some food, preferably whole wheat toast with a good fat olive oil dip with a water-based whey protein shake, this is what I eat when I'm on amphetamine, but Dexedrine doesn't inhibit my appetite, it actually allows me to eat faster instead of zoning out halfway done with a sandwich or something, but my ADD is quite bad when I'm not on either a small dose of amp or a regular dose of kratom(4-5g)/opioids.

L-amphetamine is so shit that I can't take more than 10mg of Adderall IR at a time due to anxiety and HBP. If I have to take more, then I'll take something like 7.5mg Adderall IR, 5mg Adderall XR, 10mg Dexedrine ER (or 30mg Vyvanse in place of the Dexedrine ER).

If you can find Chelated magnesium in Ukraine, taking 400-600mg/day can help with sleep and improving sleep structure, as will Melatonin at 0.5-1mg doses (more is counterproductive). I'm sure you can find L-Theanine, but if you can't find it try using herbal tea, preferably Peppermint due to its GABAergic active ingredient.

As far as Seroquel goes, I would never use it for sleep unless I had to, but a 12.5-25mg dose supposedly knocks you on your ass, and taking 50-100mg is so powerfully anticholinergic that it will induce serious restless leg syndrome if you're prone to it. Doses of Seroquel higher than 100mg actually start acting as antipsychotics, and will not help with sleep.

Best of luck to you, OP! :) Keep your mind positive, and remind yourself that you will be perfectly fine, you just need time.

Avoid alcohol while on an amphetamine binge if at all possible.

Did you take Seroquel? As mentioned before...try 25-50mg, and if that doesn't work, 100mg. But Seroquel is so powerful you probably won't have to go above 50mg. Do not go above 100mg.
 
I actually convinced the pharmacist to give me Sonata.....and i took 4 of those (10mg). Having a pleasant little trip at the moment, and I'm sure sleep will finally be found.
this is nuts. Words are flowing into one another.... the wallpaper and carpet is dancing to my music.... good farewell party for the worst experience of my life.

Yea, alcohol and serquel were definitely my last straws. Made the trip back up to the pharmacy, but a beauituful face on, and got what i wanted.

I do have l theanine and chetlead magneseum and melatonin with me. I honestly thought none of them could do any good to me from the place i was recently at.
 
I was just worried about Seroquels restless leg thing.....because it does give it to me, and i already took that anthistamine earlier which did my legs in.

Taking all 3 now...... I think we're done here guys.

Thanks everyone!!! :-)
 
I personally find 100mg of oil based Coenzyme Q10 to really help me with comedowns, you might want to look into that.
 
Also, many advices are given here so becareful only to take ONE advice. Make a choice of who you think is right and go with that advice but don't go with all the advices or you might end up in a drug cocktail that will only worsten the situation.
