Stimulants Turning Into an Emotionless Robot on Adderall

Well yeh I guess thats kinda how I felt but more like a robot with schizophrenia as I had legitimately contracted the methamphetamine psychosis for my entire last year on speed. But I was anything but "emotionless" on speed. I was like numb but extremely paranoid at the same time on speed. Hearing voices, always twitching/shaking to some degree, panic attacks and what not. There was LOTS of emotions when I was on it (and I took A LOT) just that the way I processed the emotions I would detach from them as they were all so intense and overwhelming.

Its really hard to explain but opiates have the same exact zombie type of effect. Just that its one effect that is blended with many other different effects that amphetamines don't really give. Like on opiates I consider myself more in a zombie state because I have no anxiety, I really have no emotions or paranoia at all on it or any of that shit I get from meth. So in one aspect the zombie state for opiates is much more potent. However, theres a certain "burnt out" aspect that speed gives me that opiates don't. And it adds to the zombie effect. I have no idea what I'm saying I think what I'm saying is that ALL drugs put me in some type of altered zombie state, just that they are all different in their own little way.

Still in the long run the state meth puts me in is dirty fucking paranoid mindless robot state. Opiates is more of a "I don't really care about anything state". Speed is a "I care about everything state". But in both I still feel very altered and like a robot or zombie of some kind. So hard to think about this shit objectively all I know is amphetamines are a horrible fucking poison and anyone who takes them is fucking their brain up wayyyy more than they likely realize. Yeh I might get depressed years after stopping opiates but give me a fucking break its been like 10 years since I touched any type of amphetamine and I still get this weird twitch in the back of my neck that I use to get when I smoked it. Amphetamines are just dirty, useless horrible drugs. Not even drugs at all they are poisons that just so happen to make you feel good right before they make you lose your mind entirely.
 
Great posts Captain H. One question, if you take breaks from amps and use a small dose of opiates on the off days, will it cause the same problems with mood/emotions (dopamine etc.) that amps do? Or is it different receptors?

They are different receptors.

Opiates can have an effect on your mood as well though, a lot of people get moody on opiates. But that's not everyone of course.

BTW - I never get "emotionless" on meth or d-amp, I tend to have a broader emotional range on meth than off it. I'd say I have "normal" emotional range on meth/d-amp and "less than normal" emotional range without it.
 
Only happens to me if I don't eat or drink enough during the day while I'm taking Adderall.
 
I wouldn't get angry so much as I would become depressed or robot like like the OP stated, except I had no reaction for anything. People would ask me a question and could barely illicit an answer out of me. It was like I couldn't think. I was completely blank. And then when I'd go to talk and it would be extremely hard for me to talk. My throat would be scratchy, my voice gone, absolutely no moisture in my throat or mouth. Granted, I was smoking .5 street meth (or blue bell as I liked to call it : P) and not taking Adderall. I find it so odd that I became a dope fiend (dope=meth where I'm from) before I'd ever even taken a Vyvanse. I still to this day have never taken an Adderall, and I will on occaision, for the purpose of pulling an all-nighter and all-dayer the next day to get something done for class, take one of my sister's phentermines, but that's all I do as far as stimulants go now-a-days. I can't do x anymore because of my Rx meds that I NEED, and apparently they fuck with psychs to where they don't let you trip, so all I do is opioids lol.
