Stimulants Feeling Like An Emotionally-Detached Robot On The Adderall Comedown

So between 12:30 and 1:45 am last night, I took 40 mg. of Adderall (snorted 20, the other 20 was oral), it was awesome, I wrote two essays for a scholarship and residence hall applications at my university in the space of a few hours, and pulled an all-nighter, I also smoked a few cigarettes and took caffeine pills to sustain the high. It's now nearly ten hours later, and I feel like I'm in this midway zone of the comedown where I still feel wired/jittery but like this emotionally-flat robot incapable of feeling motivated/excited over anything, and little in the way of appetite, so is this detached feeling just the price you pay for amphetamine use or is there a way for bypassing it? I took 1500 mg. of GABA about 20 minutes ago, so that should help me get to sleep easier.
 
Unfortunately Ryan, these are the negative effects of amphetamines. The restless heart, pounding in the chest, racy mind, and the slight nausea. The detachness will go away once your heart rate returns to normal. 40mg may have even been too large of a dose if your not used to adderall. Gotta be safe man keep that in mind. Try to hold some food down, avoid smoking cigarettes during the comedown, as nicotine is a stimulant and will put more stress on your heart. Stay hydrated! Thats one of the most important things. Do your best to get sleep and youll be alright. Good Luck
 
I always feel so empty after amphetamine use. Last time I binged I slept 2 or 3 hours, played off my comedown through work but got home and just started crying for no reason. I wasnt sad about anything in particular, some slight depression but nothing irregular, but I was crying for a good minute or 2 over nothing. Knew damn well it was the amps but no idea why.
 
Pretty much the price you pay. I don't get it with Vyvanse--I think the gradual taper lets my body adjust better as the drug loses its effect. My best advice would be to take less next time, or take a smaller dose a little later so the comedown doesn't hit you all at once.

Either way, I rarely feel bad after a good night's sleep, so all you've really got to do is sleep it off. People suggest benzos, opiates, ghb, alcohol, etc. Those do work wonders but... don't turn a drug addiction into a poly drug addiction. I find that, just like the hangover discourages binge drinking, the comedown discourages excessive amp use. If you manage to deal with the comedown too effectively you'll start tricking yourself into finding excuses to take amphetamines more and more often.
 
Yeah I wouldn't combine any other drugs with it for the aforementioned reasons. Spacing out your doses more and/or taking less would help.

Vyvanse was created partially for that reason^
 
Be careful, you only feel the way that you do because you took a relatively small dose. As you get into the higher doses or re-dose during your experience, you can expect those negative physical and psychological symptoms to increase drastically. Changability of moods was always a very big symptom for me while on amphetamines. When I would dose high (~80-100mg) I would get extremely depressed and edgy during the comedown. These feelings could last up to 8 hours post high.

A lot of people will tell you that benzodiazepines are the cure-all for stimulant hangovers and comedowns, but it sounds like being emotionally flat or "robotic" as you described is an issue that could be exacerbated by these types of drugs. I'm a drug addict, so naturally I would seek out another drug to make me feel better. Alas, this is an HR forum, and I wouldn't want to send anyone down that road.

^+1 to Subotai, Sleep is your friend, and weed will probably help put a little pep back in your step

I have crying spells coming down from meth when im watching certain tv shows and am alone, "Shameless" really had me crying intensly for 3mins straight, as much as I hated the comedowns, I needed a good tear to shed..i look back at it as theraupeutic...these are fake over exaggerated feelings of depression...just like the over exaggerated feelings of euphoria provided by amphetamines..please know it will cease....
 
I had a bit of a cry after jacking 8 hours to my fav porn scene, my hands were still bloated from all that lube as I wiped my face cause the tears which sprang up spontaneously were starting to stain my clothes. But the orgasm itself lasted like 20 whopping seconds. So I guess it's a pretty good tradeoff..
 
Tobacco always makes the comedown harder, imo. After having my fair share of binges ive learned that drinking extreme amounts of water and keeping good hygiene keep my mental health in check. Benzos or opioids are absolutely golden, prefer the benzo for c/d.

Alcohol for the comedown is a mistake you wont make twice. Worse hangovers of my life, extremely dehydrated. Good luck
