Amphetamine Overdose

[DoseLuck]

Last night I crushed up 90mg of Adderall IR and snorted it then popped 10mg right after(I have a decent tolerance to it) and it kept me up the remainder of the night cuz it was pretty late, like around 2 or 3, then the first thing I did when I finally got out of my room was get 4 more 20mg Adderall IR and crushed it all up and parachuted it. (I don't have a script I bout them from a friend) I was still feeling some effects from my previous does so when the second does kicked in I felt pretty good, you know the typical euphoria and wanting to be really social and so on.

About 30-40 minutes later I got the kinda downer feeling you get when you first start coming down and I was kinda confused but then I thought it must just be from my first does. All of a sudden I got dizzy and alil nausea but I tried to ignore it and do other stuff to keep my mind of it. It started get worse then my heart started pounding so hat it felt like my chest was gonna explode but only like every 3 beats pounded that hard and my heart beat was not consistent at all. My legs went from that tingly energetic feeling it gives you to a really numb feeling so I decided I was gonna go back in my room and sit in my chair and watch tv.

After I sat down I noticed my heart was still beating the same as before but faster and I was starting to sweat like crazy. I was getting bad Cotten Mouth from the drugs, my mouth was started to hurt. I tried to swallow but it was very difficult, it took a lot of effort because my throat and tongue were beginning to swell up. At first I got kinda scared but I just went and got water and drank a lot of it.

I then started getting mad at random noises through the house that were barely noticeable. I grabbed my water I went to go outside and walk around. I started walking outside and my legs were still numb and it was kinda weird walking so I just leaned against a wall a started trying to text someone but it was very difficult to figure out how to word what I wanted to say so I stood there for a few minutes trying to figure out how to say it.

While I was standing there my mom walked past me and I just like lost control of my body and jumped back and yelled and then I got really mad again, but she didn't notice cuz she was listening to music with head phones. I kept on losing control of what I was doing. I would get mad and throw random stuff for no reason. After this "angry phase" past I sat down tired and had a heavy feeling and I started thinking... I was wondering why I do so many drugs at this young age, "why do I need drugs to make me happy?","why can't I just live a life the normal way with out drugs". I started to get very depressed about my so far wasted life.

My heart was still beating hard and my chest started to hurt really bad. I laid over on the ground and grabbed at it. While all this was happening no one was around me cuz I walked over to the side of the house and it never crossed my mind that I should get help, that this could be fatal if I don't get help. I was in pain everywhere, my mouth, my teeth, my jaw, my chest, my heart, every muscle that wasn't currently numb. It was very agonizingly painful and on top of that I was still in the depressed state of mind which confused me considering Adderall is used as anti-depressed in some cases.

I just wanted this to end. I managed to motivate myself to get up and go back to my room. It was hard to think, my thoughts were very unorganized. I was semi-delusional from lack of sleep from doing these a lot recently so as I was walking to my room I kept hearing sounds like voices kinda but I couldn't find where they were coming from and again I got very angered and I yelled "SHUT THE **** UP" and went straight to my room. Right after I went in my mom came in and asked who or what I was yelling at and I lashed out at her and told to get away from me. She slammed my door and left.

I then laid on my bed for I dunno how long but it felt like ages. After laying there for a while the effects of the drugs began to wear off so I stood up and my legs were no longer numb bet the felt like I ran a couple miles, my legs were so sore. I walked outside and got the water that I left there and went straight back to my room. I was very tired but I knew I couldn't sleep even if I tried so I just laid there till I decided to get some food and attempt to eat it cuz I haven't eaten for three days. I tried to eat crackers but I put one in my mouth and bit down one it and it hurt my teeth and it was very difficult to eat with the horrible cotton mouth I had so I had to wash it down with water.

By this time I have come almost all the way down. Still hurting everywhere but my heart was not pounding so hard or fast and I was beginning to be able to think clearly again. Currently I am laying in bed, I feel like I have a horrible flu and I can not sleep. I attempted to use the bathroom multiple times but i couldn't do it. I think after this I am going to lay off on these pills for a week or two and I don't think I will go to the hospital unless my heart starts beating really aggressively again (as I've read after overdose you heart can randomly start beating really fast and hard again)or the swelling in my tongue and throat don't go down.

Sorry Guys for the story being so long and I hope it wasn't to boring to read!! Thanks this is my first thread!!

Hi mate, try and get some paragraphs and separate lines in there to make it easier to read

 

[DoseLuck]

Ah sorry I was tired when it typed that and didn't even think about it. I will be sure to do that next time.

 

[Uncle Robert]

If you look at the bottom of your first post you should see an Edit button, this will allow you to sort it out

 

[DoseLuck]

Thanks. I just fixed it

 

[Uncle Robert]

Sounds nasty. Definitely lay off them for a while.

 

[DoseLuck]

Oh yeah. It was pretty scary too

 

[bronson]

moving this NMI --> BDD...

 

[Dysphoric]

You didn't call the ER why?

I will never understand taking absurd amounts of drugs.

Or better yet, never again.

I know you saw my other post in your RoA thread, but this is exactly what I'm talking about. More does not equal a better time. This is what that kind of thinking gets you. Less is more.

^Agree with above, just lay off the shit for good if it all possible. My possibilities with stimulants are limited now, not so much adderall but anything like coke, it will start to cause heart murmurs. You can really damage your heart with uppers, it will just lead to degeneration over time. I have seen far too many that are too young to have those problems, 20 year old rich white kids who did coke or speed really heavily for a few years, when they went and got echocardiograms it showed permanent damage. If you are experiencing overdose like symptoms you need to stop, now. If you have ABSOLUTELY have to take speed again be safe and have some benzos on hand, preferably fast acting one like Xanax. They give benzos to people oding on coke and speed in the ER to slow down the heart, bring down blood pressure, prevent ataxia, etc. Just be careful! I have felt like that before and I knew it was time to cut that shit out for good.

I didn't call the ER cuz it is NOT worth the rehab and all the other crap you have to go through. I will take my chances. I try to lay off but my urges get the best of me.

I agree fuck the er it gets u in way more trouble then nessisary. And to the op... that blows I've done a lot of adderall....

here is an example of where most people would have gone to er got sent to rehab and probabl
y some kind of suicide program...

.now when I say I have done a lot of addy I mean A LOT my max dose was over 600mg within 24 hrs and and that was after being up for 2 days doing a min of 200mg a day and then more the following day, but wwhen I did the 600mg. And was crashing, I thought Iwas having a heart attack and a stroke... Ialso thought I had baking soda eating through my body down to my feet lol it was an interesting 4-5 days

no hospital and I've turned out fine. but yea man as I was saying that really sucks... I guess I'm just very tollerantto amps... idk I love anythingspeedy especially meth

This was last week basically when I first started taking adderall. Right now I am not on adderall cuz I took all of it around 9 this morning. My insides feel like they are one fire and I'm just so depressed all I wanna do is go home and take adderall. Is this how you felt when you used it a lot and came all the way down?

With regards to calling the ER, the prob ive often gotten into with bad stim effects, prob real OD symptoms is that logic trap and uncertainty if its real or if its just anxiety paranoia. The first time i took meth i never knew, it was in huge doses accidently thinking it was cocaine. When the comedown suddenly hit like a ton of bricks, the panic attack felt like i was dying, couldnt breath, heart attack, pain etc. Only realizing my mistake and knowing what anxiety and panic attack feels like, did i know it wasnt real and never called the ambulance.

But now my question is, how do you know if its real trouble or just SNS/anxiety/etc? For me, i have decided that actual pain means real issue. The worst panic attack, never actually causes real heart chest pain, so for me that will be my sign.
Others seems to get "pain" though so not sure what can be used as a real measure.

 

[ddeakle]

Doseluck... yes that's exactly what a heavy addy crash feels like for the next day or 2 u need to eat and rehydrate and sleep and the pain and ddepression goes away

And blight12... tbh I've felt pain but I'm not sure if it was actually there or not but it has always eventually gone away. Always have someone sober who can check on u and make sure they think ur not ok. Sometimes its very hard to tell what's reak and not :/ but imo Iwill never goto the er and that's just me I donot encourrage this way of thinking by anymeans it is incredibly dangerous. The only eason I live this way is 2 reasons.

1 I know what my body can handle... I've pushed it to every limit I can and I know what Ican or can't handle

And 2. If Ido to much to make it out ok then Ifucked up and its my time to go... again Idont think anyone should ever live this way its very risky

I'm starting to get so annoyed at the boo hooing and it being a waste to take drugs with a low oral ba. Adderall has a low oral ba and 90mg is overdosing my limits and I been taking it half my life. Just cause a drug has better ba than orally doesn't mean YAY I CAN SAVE AND USE MY COUPONS, the effects can be totally opposite of oral effects , too intense , not as rewarding , plus shorter duration so before u know it your coupons will be spent and your arm card will be over drafted

My friend overdosed on cocaine, the real Danger is when u see symptoms of stroke or heart attack, convulsion , bleeding of ears eyes and nose.. That's when I knew this was a real =~

Man I dunno why but I decided to come on here an read all my old threads. I wish I could say I was still on adderall. At least adderall wasn't tearing my life apart. I don't really no what else to type I'm hella strung out an no ones awake so I'm just trolling for shit to do other than keep getting. Ahah well I don't got anything else to type so imma hop to another thread a post on it too.

 

[DoseLuck]

Ah in thought of something to say. Just a tip to anyone that's reads this an is kinda new an not super experienced with stimulants like I was when I made this thread. If you find a stimulant you like stay with that stimulant don't be dumb an think it's a good idea to go do stronger and stronger stimulants cuz adderall feels just amazing right? So imagine how something insanely stronger than adderall would feel.. Something like meth. It does only get sooo much better an the better it is the less likely you'll ever stop. Stimulants are extremely fun but only when you are doing them on occasion. It may sound like it'd be fun to stay up for hella days and shit but it's really not. you think it feels amazing or whatever when you get high an you just wanna feel like that as much as possible so why not just do it constantly right? Nah it's fun for alil but but after a while you get use to being high all the time an you kinda get to where you aren't doing the drug to feel good anymore you are doing it to feel normal. Doing it cuz you don't wanna come down and feel like shit after how long you've been doing it. Well now you kinda feel trapped an just keep doing it cuz it's the easiest solution. Then some time in the future when you decide you are tired of living like this an decide you are done you go to quit but you'll just give back into the drug over an over. You got too deep. That right there's exactly what I did an what I've seen so many other people do too. I did adderall every single day for four months I believe. At the time I thought I had a bad drug problem an my life was going down hill an blah blah blah. It wasn't near as bad as I was telling myself. I stopped doing adderall for like 8 months or something like that. After that 8 months I started doing meth. Did the same thing I did with adderall. Jumped straight to doing it everyday. Pssh I thought my adderall habit was bad? Within two months of doing meth I dropped out of school, just forgot about all of my good friends or anyone that wasn't doing meth really, got put in jail. I threw everything away for this shit. I didn't even think twice about dropping out of school or the people I left behind cuz I was to busy getting high. My life literally revolves around it. Just get meth get high go get more get high again. Just a cycle. The same thing every. Single. Day. I thought adderall and meth were gonna be pretty similar so I treated them the same and it ruined my life. Like just look at this post! It probably makes absolutely no sense cuz I'm high as shit. This is how I am stuck being24/7 all the time cuz I was stupid an thought meth would be nothing and now I can't stop. I hate it now. It's just shit. It grabs a hold of you faster then you can imagine an once it grabs you it don't let go. By the time you realize it has grabbed you its all pretty much gamer over. You'll be able to quit for a few days or weeks or maybe even a couple months. I got clean for three months an thought I was done for good. Then the FIRST time I saw it I didn't even hesitate I got high again an got stuck right back in the cycle. Fuck this drug. Fuck this shit no ones even gonna read this non sense. I'm done typing imma go get high

 

[DoseLuck]

Wow fick my last two post ahahahaha god damn. I'm higher now then I was then, due to the stronger ROA IV, an I still think that shits stupid without reading it.

Frankly this sounds like it should've been an ER trip.

It sounds like you ingested ~180mg of amphetamine in the span of a few hours, which is an extremely high dose unless you have worked up a hell of a tolerance. Remember doctors rarely prescribe more than 40mg/day, and usually dosages are more like 10-20.

Inability to urinate is no joke (especially if you feel the need to pee) this is a telltale sign of amphetamine overdose and a classic sign of shock. It's essentially acute organ failure, which is always considered life-threatening.

The rest of your symptoms like chest/jaw pain and sweating are signs of acute cardiac arrest, and alone should warrant a 911 call.

Please be careful in the future, unless your goal is to kill yourself and ruin all your relationships, you might need to really cut back on this kind of drug abuse. Adderall is fine, but keep the dosages reasonable - and don't go chasing some feeling because you probably aren't going to find it with pills.
