Ok, so i woke up sunday at 7am. Its now thursday at 5am.

I had been taking 30 mg IR adderall at a medicinal dose. The last dose i took was at 1pm wednesday. ( 1 30mg IR tab)

When i went home i took a perc 10 - no come down. I then took two 250mg somas and just felt like i took a tylonal pm.. nothing

My functionality is actually decent but damn.. I really would like to sleep . Should i just fuck with benzos or z-drugs?
 
You may want to see a doctor or something?

Staying up for 5 days is not normal. Are you on other drugs of any sort? Any other stimulants involved? Coffee or nicotine?
 
^ this! If a medicinal dose of a medication is keeping you awake for 5 days, something's not right and you definitely need to change your dose/medication.

Taking a benzo or z-drug is probably a good idea at this stage, you really need to get some sleep.. don't go overboard, I'd just take the dose you normally do, hopefully after being awake so long you'll fall asleep easily - it may be the anxiety of not being able to sleep that is now keeping you awake.. I'd turn off your computer, lie down in a dark room, get yourself comfortable and hopefully you'll be asleep soon. Good luck!
 
Do what you got to do. 5days is a lot. Things will get bad after that. Memory loss. Start seeing things hearing things. Your brain can only take so much.

I don't see how such a low dose would keep you up for give days. Dam.
 
Like effie suggested, I think you should probably take a sedative of some sort and try to get to sleep. A dose like that shouldn't have you up for 5 days...is this a prescribed dosage or what?

If you have access to benzos/z-drugs, that's probably your best bet. I'm sure a sedating antihistamine like doxylamine would work quite well also. You should also take effie's advice about laying down in a dark room. If I just can't shut my brain off, I try to focus on my breathing, it does help keep my mind occupied without being overly 'stimulating.'

Of course, a glass of warm milk won't hurt your cause at all either.
 
sounds messed up, i usually start seeing stuff out the corner of my eyes after 2 days, 5 days awake must be a trippy state of affairs
