Misc Cannot Sleep At All, It's been over 10 days, nothing is working. What's going on?

when i was using meth my psychosis got to the point where id rest for a few days , have a shot and the shot would make me straight away feel like im half tripping , then after 7-8 hours id basically be haluicinating alot , extremely paranoid/anxious and incoherent sometimes , depending on the quality/amount of the meth .

after a few days of not sleeping , i cant look anywhere without seeing intensly vivid haluicinations , like walking down the highway and there was about 50 people walking single file on the footpath , that i was next to , they dissapeared as soon as they got to me , literally staring into my eyes till they got about a metre away , then i saw about 8 people morphed into some wierd thing , with heads/arms/legs randomly coming out of the morphed whatever it was , i could see faces and all , i got close and it didnt go away , they were literally people looking at me , morphed into a ball sorta thing with arms and shit going everywhere , wearing orange/black clothing ... i stood infront of it like wtf for about 3-4 seconds then it turned into a bush lol with orange bits on it and shit .
 
A possible imbalance.

I would definitely seek psychiatric help. That much not sleeping could be a sign of a bipolar like disorder. Maybe temporarily drug induced, maybe you triggered some latent mental illness. But your story also has tell tell signs of a common but not well researched or understood phenomenon of poly-pharmacological induced paradoxical med reactions that could lead to a miss diagnosis of ADD or ADHD. When we are reckless with the big boys of mind altering chems, most speed all opiates and sometimes hallucinogens we not only cause brain damage we may forever alter how our brain works. Actually creating a situation where hard drugs are needed to feel normal. I would stop pushing the fun button long enough for a somewhat accurate psych evaluation. min 6 mo no speed, even limit caffeine or a team of the best docs (the ones that spend over 15 minutes a month with you) will never be able to truly help you. The fact that your energy or what you describe as no longer needing sleep sounds like it feels natural not tweak related-leads me to think you brought on a latent condition that involves mania to some degree but that's a stab in the dark. So if you have real concerns seek a psych eval with a doctor you can be completely honest with about the role of chemicals in the evolution of your situation. That would mean a doctor that probably won't prescribe you a controlled med, but might be able to treat the probable chemical imbalance in your brain. "Doctor my symptom cluster doesn't neatly fit into any diagnosis, do I have something new?" . . ."Yes, a referral to someone that believes in that kind of thing."
 
I am surprised that you are still coherent enough to be able to write these posts. I know I'd probably be hallucinating without any sleep for that long. You later mentioned using more amps (not meth), but why the fuck would you use anything at all stimulating when you haven't had sleep for that long? Take temazepam or phanazapam and if it doesn't work, go see a doc.
