So I've been taking speed a few days a week for a few months now...that is, amphetamine sulphate powder (not meth, not clinical, seems to be an exclusively European thing). Decent stuff, but still "street speed", so certainly impure to some extent. I don't binge or anything - I eat/sleep/exercise exactly as normal, just use it to feel a bit buzzed and energised. Probably comparable to 60mg or so of adderall daily.
Anyway, I've noticed that after, say, the third day of using it I start to get an extremely unpleasant feeling in my upper abdomen. Not acidic or cramping, just a nasty constant bloated aching feeling. This will still be lingering the next day, but after a day or two off it always goes away.
I'm wondering what this is caused by. Is it likely to be a direct result of the stuff irritating my stomach lining? Or over-basification of the stomach? Or is it more likely to be a pharmacological effect (I've heard for example that amphetamines can reduce blood flow to the stomach)? Then again perhaps it is due to something the product is cut with?
I intend to investigate this soon by trying the rectal route (insufflating wouldn't really tell me anything due to the drip)...that would at least tell me if it was a pharmacological problem or not. Just interested though - has anyone else experienced this? I'm assuming it doesn't commonly occur with clinical dexedrine or racemic mixtures, or else they wouldn't so widely prescribed. Then again, perhaps with some people it does happen, and it is just my personal digestive system that reacts badly?
Does anyone else regularly swallow street amphetamine sulphate, and if so, do you ever have stomach problems? Does anyone ever have any problems from taking adderall or dexedrine?
Bit of a vague rambling question - basically any enlightenment on possible causes of gastric reactions from amphetamines (or cutting agents) will much appreciated.
PS - One thing that might be complicating this is that I also take a daily omeprazole (prilosec...a proton pump inhibitor) for gastric reflux....
