I was prescribed Focalin for moderate ADD. I found Focalin to be very mild after my second use (taking as prescribed,) but I was feeling uncomfortable after the dose should have worn off. This may have to do with a short hydrocodone experiment that ended the day before. I took 10mg of Focalin at 6:00am, went to school and developed a slight migraine. This went away but I was still feeling very tense and fidgety.
At 11pm I had a joint ready. I wanted to relax and planned on going to sleep about an hour after smoking. I could still feel that Focalin had once been in my system, though it probably was only there in trace amounts - like an afterglow, but not a happy one.
I am an experienced and frequent weed smoker. Halfway through the joint I definitely felt a different high than what I'm used to. I became relaxed and then very, very tense again. Getting back inside was difficult. I thought, I'd better just brush my teeth and hit the sack.
Walking to the bathroom, my brain started looping. This is common for me with weed; I almost never enjoy it and I just have to brace myself and wait for it to get better.
The looping became worse and worse, and then it completely changed. Time would unfold in a different order, completely lacking causality. I walked through seconds into the future, and then I would jump back to the past, and then back to the future again before I could peice together what I saw. It was like watching a movie by jumping to random but almost consecutive blurbs. It took me a couple minutes to realize that, for all intents and purposes, I was traveling through time.
I got in bed. At first, it was a scary feeling. As I gradually took control over it, hoping to learn something, the fear wore off. Closed eye visuals were very prominent: rich two dimensional fractals (mostly green) gave way to three dimensional rings, vortexes, explosions.
As I watched TV I convinced myself that I could move my soul from one side of my brain to the other. The more I played with this idea, the more I felt like two people - a left side, and a right side - and that the two people deposited their memories to the same place.
This was about when I fell asleep. The next morning I felt pretty crappy, having only slept for four hours, but I was able to pull myself through without Focalin. I don't think it would be wise to combine these drugs, or even take them in the same day.
