Stimulant induced delirium?

Anyone experienced this or heard anything regarding it? A few years back I was doing a lot of MDPV, and considering the stim of choice I was after a while overdoing it. I used it pretty much 24/7 for at least 4 months and by the end of that episode I was a paranoid wreck. I did not experience any full blown psychosis though until the very end of the 4 month long trip.

A few friend were over and we smoked some weed and did some random stims. I was on peve as usual. However, at some point I was thrown into a psychotic episode and started to imagine that my mates were after to kill me. Long story short I fled the scene, which just happened to be my place, lurked in the bushes for 10 hours, got home, still psychotic but no longer afraid I kicked everyone out.

I had been awake for awhile at this point, don't know exacly for how long. 36 hours me thinks. My confused self did however get on the peve train as soon as they had left, and started doing silly doses. Things now start to get seriously blurry.

I get the idea that something (do not remember what this "something" was) was hidden in the house so basically I turned the WHOLE place upside down. And this was a big house.

24 hours or so pass and it is now my brain finally has its meltdown. I start to get visual hallucinations of people much more vivid than those on psychadelics, peoaple morphed into the walls and outside in the snow (into snowmen, LOL). I believe these hallucinations to be 100% real. I'll start having this EXTREMELY sterotypic behaviour where I walk from one end of the house, open the door to see if anyone was there, walked upstairs, looked out the window, walked downstairs again, opened the door, etc, etc. The whole time I was holding a turned off telephone to my ear, having loud conversations with imagined friends. I remember being very, very scared and very, very confused. No matter what I did I could not get out of the stereotypic behaviour and I don't even know if the thought hit me at the time. Then and there I was truly lost.

I don't know how long this went on, but somewhere between 12 to 18 hours. At this point I had been awake for ~72 hours. I woke up on the sofa, really no idea of how the episode had ended, but luckely it did. I was of course very much a wreck still, but my brain was at least back on track and functional again.

Anyone else experienced or heard of this happening? Could it be that it was NOT a result of acute OD and poisoning but instead the result of a 4 month long MDPV abuse, with sleepless nights and low food intake that accompanies it? I would guess that my body and mind was not very healthy at the time.

Sorry for the long post...
 
Doing unspecified doses of MDPV while sleep deprived does have a tendency to drive people nutty. This is a really typical PV story and is an open and shut case of stimulant abuse getting out of control.

sounds like stim psychosis.
heavy stimulants binges along with periods of no sleep will have you pretty messed up

Yeah, I know all about phychosis(es? eh...) but that experience developed into something above that. It was a complete and utter meltdown of the mind with stereotypic behaviour, audatory AND visual hallucinations that were merged with reality to 100%, complete shock, anxiety and confusion...

It started out as a stim psychosis but developed into something more than than that due to my own stupidity and truly excessive redosing, sleep depravation, malnutrition, etc.

Whether it was a case of deliriur or not I am not certain, but a regular psychosis it was not.
