hi, im prescribed Desoxyn (only previous stimulant prescribed was Vyvanse for ~3 months, im very persuasive with my psych lol) and i also have anxiety along with my ADD. i was wondering if there are any natural ways to prevent the increased anxiety (mostly chest pains caused by the anxiety) caused by amphetamines, regardless i still take them because i love the euphoria, tweaking, and how much more i talk to my friends(especially my gf) but i just try to avoid higher doses but even at ~20mg desoxyn (i dont take it regularly to avoid tolerance) which is the dose i need for the optimal euphoric rush i tend to get chest pains and if i went any higher i'd probably have a full on panic attack (use to happened to me somewhat regularly when i smoked weed while on amps[learned not to do that anymore]) or when i would chew a friends daytrana patch. 1st post btw

edit: cigarettes also increase chance of chestpains/panic

(the only thing i panic about is the danger of my increased heart rate and the chest pain increases how much i worry/panic about my heart, common case of a panic attack, right?)

and yes im tweaking right now lol
 
why are you so worried about your heart? do you have any related problems with the heart that makes u panic?
 
no problems with my heart that i know of but for a reason i dont know (maybe higher heart rate/blood pressure) my chest/heart would start to get a constant sharp/tight pain

are you an idiot or do you think everyone on here is? you take desoxyn for euphoric rush and complain about after effect deal with it or dont get high. ..... Closed/


Im not hating but your Obviously trying to get info on how to get a benzo from your idiot doctor....it strikes me as pathetic....everyone gets anxiety from amphetamine some more than others grow up. You probably dont Need Desoxyn and would be fine with Dexedrine or Adderall. Stupid.
 
Take less methamphetamine. Amphetamines (and abuse thereof) are notorious for causing panic attacks, racing heart, chest pains, and so on.

You shouldn't be abusing your ADD medication, it only makes it harder for people who actually have ADD to get their pills, and reinforces the stigma of people who are medicated being relentless pill abusers. Plus amphetamine abuse is all tears in the end anyway.
 
As sekio said, reducing the dosage will give you the results you're looking for.

Also as sekio said, quit abusing your medication. You're quite lucky to receive those pills. Abusing them will do you absolutely no good. Pretty soon all those effects you love so dearly will diminish, leaving you an empty soulless shell. Then you'll probably move on to street meth.

Take your pills as prescribed, lower the dosage (by at least half), take it less often.

You could also try something like kava kava.
 
i never try to exceed the amount of pills im prescribed (4 a day) but if i do abuse them i just go a day without taking any then take 8 throughout the next day for the purpose of making the effects last longer (also tried tums to reduce acidity but doesn't help much)
 
Try something like grapefruit juice for potentiation, and reduce your dose to 2 pills a day. Also, try taking them not all at once. One in the morning, one in the afternoon sometime, and leave it at that.

Like I said, reduce your dose though because it will slow your livers metabolism of the drug, extending its effects. This applies to the negative effects as well.

Space out 1/4-1/2 of your current dose. Wait at least 4-6 hours in between re-dosing, taken with either whole white grapefruit, or 100% white grapefruit juice.

Of course you could just do like sekio originally said and reduce the dose by half without adding GFJ, this is the best advice, and it is certain to do you nothing but good.

Be careful because if you over do it, you are certain to compound the negative effects as well, and could even have newer much less pleasant ones. This is methamphetamine you're fucking with, and it doesn't play no shit. You've been warned.

I get some pretty bad anxiety from adderall, If i'm taking a low dose like 20 or 30mg, I just calm myself down and tell myself that its the speed making me over think everything.
 
If you're anxious, I don't recommend continuing the use of your medication. Do you also have trouble sleeping?

A common tendency in people who develop stimulant anxiety is that they do not need stimulants to begin with. You may actively think about seeking out a non-stimulant type ADD medication if you're hoping to solve your problem.

fuck off flamer. im not trying to get benzos thats why i said a natural way to cope with/prevent it. i have been prescribed both xanax and klonopin by the same doctor and chose to stop because of withdrawals.
O.K. Then why are you taking Desoxyn for recreational abuse if your dork self cannot handle the anxiety. Its unavoidable. Dont be an idiot with the Desoxyn. . Its not hard reread what you wrote "I just use desoxyn for a buzz" "i cannot handle anxiety". You sound childish. Liar liar pants on fire


You also did not mention a word about add besides the fact you were doctor shopping and found a pill mill. Im not trying to make fun of you but if you know anything about really having "add" you wouldnt be using the pills for just a buzz which is all you talked about. Anxiety gets worse and worse as you continue. I was just trying to understand your point of posting this trash? ;-)

Forget it lol....heres some Better advice


kava kava is relaxing as well as some teas in reg grocery stores the herbal ones.....theres no war if he would have left add out i wouldnt have replied like i did lol
 
try a small amount of sleepy time tea or any other similar herbal relaxant/sleep aid. I have no clue how powerful these teas are but I highly doubt any tea that you can get from a grocery store would kill a meth high. Having chest pains is IMO a pretty good indicator to slow down/discontinue your stim use though.

go troll somewhere else

on topic: i tried taking oxide's advice and at 12 i took 1 pill on an empty stomach, didn't feel any effect (probably tolerance) so i took another one 10 minutes later and i felt slightly happier so i took another 5 minutes later (3 total) and its 2:20 now and im still feeling pretty euphoric/elevated mood even after a meal with no signs of anxiety. The anxiety never bothered me after the effects wore off, it always tend to come on in the middle of the positive effects and completely got rid of any euphoria/stimulation resulting in a waste of my meds.

thanks again
