i did a search for this and couldn't find anything. why do i always yawn when i first take speed or e? just curious. i know why you're body usually yawns...to get oxygen to your organs. but why do i yawn when i do any amphetamines?
 
i had something similar to this i guess, there wasn't one time i've never yawned before hitting the bong. i don't know why but i would always yawn.
 
when i was coming down and all cracked out as fuck off of 2 1/3 blue vl's i could not stop yawning. i must have kept yawning for like a hour straight. and my eyes kept rolling into the back of my head at the same time, man i was fucked up. im not sure why this happened. my head also felt like it had a big kitchen knife stuck in it like someone had stabbed me, it was not cool not cool.
 
Here's a thought...
I myself catch myself yawning a lot on drugs that make me extremely relaxed and/or euphoric. You don't have to be tired to yawn. Human yawn when they are just overall extremely relaxed.
This is kinda OT but when I sing (at rehearsal, lessons) my intructors always start me out with "yawn sigh" which is starting your vocals really high pitched and sending it down with mouth wide like a yawn. A lot of the time afterwards, I yawn....more relaxed. One must be completely relaxed state of mind for professional vocal music.....
My point is....a good deal of the yawning just might be that you are just relaxed....
*OR* maybe your mind is shutting off air cause you're loosing brain cells! duh (lol)...i dont have any real facts to back that one up though it does sound plausible
 
Many people have yawning as a side effect of medications affecting serotonin (whether or not they are tired). It is an side effect of the various SSRIs and is observed (by myself and others) to occur on psychedelics (which are known to affect serotonin).
Both meth and mdma (thought mdma to a much greater extent) do influence serotonin.
Now this is just a guess. However, I wanted to point out that it is not just being tired/relaxed (benzos/alcohol don't particularly induce yawning unless you are actually tired while meth, LSD, and MDMA can induce yawning while you are wide awake).
Makes you wonder if there is a drug out there which would stop yawning.
 
i believe a yawn is the bodies natural reaction when over a period of time you dont take in enough oxygen. basically since your tired/relaxed you take slow breaths etc.

okay maybe not the most reliable source in the world but I believe it and if you are really doubtfull you can probably find the original article.
However, if our bodies make us yawn to drawn in needed oxygen, wouldn't we yawn during exercise? Robert Provine, a psychologist at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and a leading expert on yawning, has tested this theory. Giving people additional oxygen didn't decrease yawning and decreasing the amount of carbon dioxide in a subject's environment also didn't prevent yawning.
It seems that a whole bunch of neurotransmitters/peptides influence yawning with opiates surpressing it and serotonin, dopamine amoung others stimulating it.
yawning is under the control of several neurotransmitters and neuropeptides at the central level as this short overview of the literature on the neurochemistry of yawning shows. Among these substances, the best known are dopamine, excitatory amino acids, acetylcholine, serotonin, nitric oxide, adrenocorticotropic hormone-related peptides and oxytocin, that facilitate yawning and opioid peptides that inhibit this behavioral response.

It happens to me all the time & I always wanted to know why. I knew it wasn't because I was tired. I did a little research & like a lot of the other people thread stated it's just a reaction caused buy the drug as the body's attempt to get more oxygen...
 
Yawning while using methamphetamine may occur due to the drug's effects on your brain and body, which can disrupt normal sleep patterns and neurotransmitter levels. This can lead to feelings of fatigue or drowsiness, prompting yawning as a reflex to increase alertness.
