Stimulants Stayed up for 3 days (Adderall+Dex)

[Depressicaa]

I stayed up for 3 days on Adderall and Dexedrine. It was simply an experience. I'm not sure how to deal with the after-effects. I feel tired but can't sleep. I would take a benzo, but it will ruin my sleep quality.

Is it a good idea to take L-tyrosine? I don't know what it is used for, while taking it during the time, it made the effects stronger (but not as good as baking soda did).

I feel somewhat strange as well, this is a day after a day's sleep and then some. Theres a bit of a headache and I just feel weird in general. My thoughts feel somewhat disconnected, not always bad, but just abnormal. I don't know what the cause or what to call it. Its just a bit different I suppose.

Would also know how you guys dealt with it, and what happened from it.

Thanks!

I don't understand how you're worried about sleep quality after staying awake for 3 days, in my opinion I'd take the benzo well before you went to sleep and enjoy the effects for a while and it shouldn't affect too much of your sleep

I've slept maybe 2 hours in past 3, about to be 4 days. Any sleep was riddled with sweating and other problems Can't wait until tommorow because I've got 2mg of Kpin left, and it's been over a week since I had any.

Staying up for days is going to to make you somewhat delerious, it's just sleep deprivation, probably the simplist reason you're feeling weed. I feel like a mess, would love to just pass out

Ha, I thought the same thing. You have been up for days and you are concerned with the quality of sleep you will get? Just take your benzos and pass out for 14hrs..

Dont waste your benzos. You will naturally fall asleep. If you feel anxious so you cant sleep, take the lowest dose of benzos that will work.

 

[JamtasticX]

Also I don't think there would be any additional things from L-tryosine, I don't know many normal things that it does either

 

[LonE1]

Save the benzo and take 4 tylonal PMs, or just wait till you can pass out naturally

 

[JamtasticX]

I'm about to be 96 hours with maybe 2 1/2 hours sleep max, feel like shit No alcohol, no tylenol pm (diphenhydramine sucks), no other drugs. I hate the tracers from sleep deprivation, eyes kill.

Don't know why you'd want to purposely stay up so long, it sucks. Sleeping is where it's at

It was just an experiment. I have never been addicted to it before, but during this session, I didn't even count how many I took.

I had some severe problems during this time, and I would not redo this again under the same circumstances.

I managed to doze off for about 3 hours. I didn't wanna take benzos since I don't want to sleep for the sake of sleeping, I want to re-energize.

Jamtastic, why did you choose to stay up? I don't think I will do that again for a while at least, its not something worth it in my opinion. My judgment was shot, my sleep was off, and my brain told me to stop.

It's not a choice. I've been almost completely out of all my meds. I have 2mg of klonopin left that I'm saving until tommorow morning to take (should wait longer, but really can't). I have had a tiny bit of suboxone left that I've been stringing out, has to get me until tuesday around 5pm. No other pharms left (gabapentin/hydroxyzine), and can't do any other drugs because of a drug test monday (also why I have to take the Kpins and suboxone tommorow - need to fail).

That and when I do sleep, even with suboxone, I often wake having night terrors/sweating my ass off, so that's unpleasent. Overall it sucks big time, my body hurts, eyes hurt, everything is blurry. Yet combined with the other problems, my insomia is massive, I'll pass out for like half hour, but wake up so uncomfortable won't want to pass out again

You could just try to take a warm bath or shower(always helps me relax), if you have camomile tea you couple sip that while laying in bed listen to music or whatever. There's a lot of alternatives to taking benzo's.

But if I were up for 3 days and couldn't sleep I'd take the benzo fuck my sleep qualitly, I'd just sleep for almost 2 days and be fine.lol

I love staying up on stimulants, I really like the feeling of being scattered, as long as I don't have to do anything.

Don't take tyrosine, I don't know how it affects you but it always stimulates me, and not in a pleasant way, more an anxious jittery way. Take that in the next few days, after you've slept, to help boost your dopamine levels back up.

I hate sleeping after stims. I do anything to avoid it, even if I know staying up has no potential for improvement, I always don't want to lie down and try and sleep more. The longer I stay up, the harder I find it to go to bed and sleep too, strangely...it's like I've almost forgotten how to do it and it feels unnatural.

I usually like to take no downers and come down naturally, and just chill out, maybe with a couple of beers. Benzos are good for relaxation, and anti pysotics are great if you just need to knock yourself out.

honestly that's what happens when you stay up for a few days on rx stimulants. you're going to feel scattered for AT LEAST a few days. if you're worried about sleep quality, you'll sleep a LOT better if you take the benzo than you would otherwise. however when i stayed up on addies for a few days i usually just would smoke some weed and then sleep for a few hours. at this point you should take whatever sleep you can get. it's the only thing that's going to help with the scattered feeling.

 

[laetoile]

i should add that the only time i'd recommend smoking weed on stimulants is on the comedown. don't do it if you're high still, unless you really want to fuck your head up.

i've been taking adderall for over 8 years now so i should tell you that you'll be just fine, you'd do best if you went a few days without taking any more stims though.

I'm just glad to hear I'm not alone in this mess. I felt so lonely, knowing that all my friends are all partied out and sleeping and I decided to go for the long haul and the epic crash and had to resort to concerta and speed by the end.
I just have another little bit before I ought to go to sleep in order to reset my circadian rhythm properly, but I've got a somewhat important exam tomorrow morning and I have no idea how I'm gonna get out of bed and study today. I'm still on too many amps to sleep, but too tired to do anything and not really very high.
Sorry for hijacking but I didn't think I should've started my own thread about it... I have a few questions:
-How should I deal with the back pain? I got a headache eventually and took an advil, but the lower back pain won't go away. The best I can do is lie on a cross of pillows until it hurts the least but it's still pretty bad.
-I regularly take selegiline 5mg, which seems to be a drug of much debate, but I find the slight mood improvements, stimulation and balance without much, if any, psychoactivity are what I need. Can I take my normal 5mg dose, or even 2.5 or 10, or will this cause problems? (though it's an MAO-b, not MAO-a). Little rusty on the neuromodulators involved here, but I know that it fucks shit up on phenethylamines..

e: I'm currently on 54mg concerta (as I thought it would keep me going all day, guess that was stupid) and about half a gatorade ice (pretty clean amphetamine) and the tail end of some aMT and have taken two ibuprofins. I'm just trying to be careful as I need to stop fucking myself over.
and if i took the concerta and at about 7:00am (when I got home from the previous night and have been doing bumps of speed since, although I think I'm stopping now...), when can I take benzos/ should I at all?

 

[dramatica]

I also used to get the incredible urge to stay awake all night once I started taking amphetamine. I would always feel incredibly shitty the next day. You need to write yourself a big freakin note reminding yourself NOT to do it. Sleep is sooo important to your health and well-being.

Your awful feelings will go away quickly once you start getting some rest.

 

[punchednthenose]

Duh! Benzo your brain then sleep.

 

[JamtasticX]

ha, funny someone bumped up this thread i posted in a while back, i was up the past 2 days on some adderall, which i hadn't taken in years, good times i guess, but eh, pointless discussion as this topic happened months ago , but

take the benzo and go to sleep

 

[Hedgeclipper]

yeah, I was more asking about the interection with selegiline, but I ended up just skipping my selegiline dose for today, taking the 54mg concerta, which kept me semi awake and has pretty much just stopped working. So I've taken .5mg xanax and .5mg clonazepam now and I'm going for at least 14 hours of sleep. All should be well. i was in a terrible state of mind when I made that post though.
With amps, it's a crazy journey of epic highs and epic lows...

 

[canucka]

usually by the fourth night without sleep, i'll just naturally pass out on my couch whether i like it or not, as well whether i use speed or not.. its gonna happen..
infact, if i use any type of sedative after 2 days without sleep on meth.. i will almost be guaranteed to black out and do something harmful; whether it be to myself or others..
