Hi guys,
So I?m currently at the point where I?m trying figure out my dosage.
My psychiatrist started me with 5mg pills and said I should increase my dose by 5 until I found the dose that helped.
So I ended up realizing that taking four 5mg (20mg) is what makes me feel the effect. (5, 10 and 15 did nothing -I really have an attention problem)
I read somewhere that some individuals take up to 60mg, and like an idiot I thought that meant per dose, not per day.
So here I am, taking 20mg at 4 to 5 hour intervals, thinking I?m on the lower half of the spectrum.
Usually I?ll do this twice during the work day and everything is fine. (Been doing that for two weeks now with no issues or symptoms at all) - However one day (yesterday), work got so busy I literally started at 8am and planned to work through the night. Long story short I took 4 doses total throughout the day and by 10pm was at 80mg - that last dose took me over the edge and I overdosed.
So now my questions:
For anyone who has experienced this - about how long until you felt 100% ok? I experienced fast heart rate, high blood pressure, a hazy mind, and then later started getting these very annoying yet fleeting pings of pain in my abdomen.
I stayed over night at the hospital, Now everything else is gone but the small pings are lingering. (Didn?t get an IV or anything)
Did you experience symptoms into the next day?
Question 2: plan to give myself a break and maybe start and end with just one or two spaced out doses of 20mg in a day and never go past that - but how long should I wait?
Thank you guys in advanced.
