This is Not the first time this happened. I am getting worried though. Earlier I dosed my daily MMT , then ate a few snacks. As soon as my Methadone had took effect I started up some coffee and took 25mgs of Dexedrine. I was laying down watching a youtube video and I felt abit strange , and I had to piss. I got up and went to do what nature intended and began feeling an intense uncomfortable sensation building in my stomach. Halfway through urinating I got very clammy feeling and my heart was starting to beat very very very hard. I couldnt finish urinating. I got lightheaded, and trembled to my Anxiety meds. It literally took the breath out of me whatever was happening. I felt like I was having a full on panic attack but things didnt seem right. My hands were shaking while I was trying to split a stick and then I got my breath tooken away again. I said fuck this took the full 2mgs and breathed in and out. When I swallowed water before sitting down it felt like it was not going to go down. I put my hand over my chest and my god was it beating and I want to say it felt distressed. I got very scared but know panicing is not going to help. I had a feeling the coffee did it. I then stayed sitting down. An hour later the same sensation came on and I reached for my anxiety meds shaking taking probably less than a MG I really do not know. So now its been 4ish hours and things are normal. Is this coffee and amphetamine related or does this sound more serious. Its never happened on my medication but Coffee seems to trigger whatevers going on. Can someone tell me if I just need to take a wee break from the Dexedrine? or if anyone can relate. I think it may be rebound anxiety mixed with those other 2 but I do not know. Any insight?!
 
you need to see a doctor. if you believe you are having heart problems (or even if it is just anxiety) the dexedrine is only going to make it worse, so yes I would definitely take a break from it
 
I truly think it was the coffee with it because everytime something like this happens I had drank coffee before.
 
You had coffee mixed with dex that always causes me to have heart palpable an increased heart rate and if you are not used to it, it can really freak you out and go go into a panic. You don't mean to panic your body does it on its own.... Tomorrow don't drink any coffee or take dex and I it is gone then you are fine. If it is bad tomorrow that I suggest goin to a doctor.

Another way to see if you ate having a true crisis or not it to hold your breath and contract your chest muscles to squeeze and if your heart rate slows an then speeds bak up then it is a panic attack from to much stimulation.
 
Heart failure is a specific clinical syndrome where the heart begins to fail as a pump and pulmonary edema and its respiratory signs become evident. Sustained tachycardia with weak pulses are often present at later stages of the disease. Episodes of collapse also occur. The clinical signs are subtle and typically begin with weakness and abnormal heart sounds.

Based upon what you have told us, it is unlikely that you are in heart failure. A single episode of tachycardia in an individual with a history of an anxiety disorder coupled with amphetamine, methadone, and stimulant use (caffeine is a stimulant) is probably inconsequential, but if it reoccurs, I would recommend that you be examined by a physician (who would probably perform an EKG and stress test) and disclose to that doctor all of the medications you are taking.
 
I was in the county for 7 months for someone setting me up selling crack I would sell crack to buy dope 9 months later being clean after comin off hardcore withdrawal for a month 4 weeks ago I started getting impacted wisdom teeth removed he perscribed me percocet Oxycodone 500s or some bs anyways now I'm withdrawing pretty bad I called and asked him to ween me off he said no so I'm pretty much stuck I don't want to use again I need some advice which route should I take plz help Thankz.

I am going to take a smaller dose tomorrow to see what happens. I never really drink Coffee and this stuff I just got is Really dark. I take vitamins and shit I dunno it just sucked. Its happened before...once with over stimulation....and 3 times? with super lame research stims. It sucked when it happens. Its not like a severe panic attack with really bad palpations. It kinda makes my head get a lot of pressure when it happens making me feel light headed and with a lot of annoying pressure. I doesnt feel right but its never happened from just dexedrine and a cup of coffee but it had been awhile since I actually Drank coffee so I think I solved my question. The puking while trying to get a liquid down is what throws me off as well as the feeling of fainting. Does everyone think IM OK? poster about the off topic shit go elsewhere dont be stupid..
 
That happens to me. I used to take adderall a lot a d I thought I was having a heart attack all the time.. And now I stopped taking adderall but occasionally I'll drink coffee and I can't handle any stimulants now.

If I take a stimulant like coffee. My side effects are very real. A panic attack can cause you to feel like you are having a real heart attack it is very scary. It's not some stupid joke and you can't just think your way out of one. They hurt and can cause you to have all your symptoms.

I take Xanax now for when I get one. I get so terrified I'll drive to the ER but since getting EKG and being diagnosed with panic disorder caused by stimulant abuse.. Fucking sucks. Now I take the Xanax when it happens and it goes away.

You may have done what I did any made your body super sensitive to stimulants...
 
That would explain a few things but my symptoms are not panic first. I guess I need to explain it better. It has always started with my head. I get a wave of flushed out feeling then it rushes to my head. I never panic until my body extremeties start to tremble. My head gets a lot of pressure and flushy feeling and if it gets super bad my hearing isaltered. This is when my chest goes wild. I do notice my body extremeties also feel as if they are about to go numb. It doesnt make me panic until I get the breath taken out of me and almost puke. Its super weird but I think tachyradia as someone said is exactly what I experience. I have been on my go for YEARS. Its not like I am new to stimulsnts by anny means so I dont quite understsnd how one would become sensitive to stimulants. I should also note the length varies. Yesterday thank Godddd it only lasted until I shoved a bar down my throat. One day it literally lasted 30ish minutes of very very verry intense feelings of passing out. I stopped taking Dirty shit dumb research chems due to them seeming to do this to me even weak ones which is weird. I think theres some drug interaction going on. Im going to start with 3 Dexedrine today. See I used to be Prescribed 9 tablets a day so this is why im confused before that I was on Adderall XR and IR formulations since I was 9?ish. I just find it sbit alarming. Its happened with coffee alone but tbh I think I Am caffiene sensitive as I neever eever drink caffinated drinks. Im not trying to be stupid or annoying it is just..very weird to me. Its way to random it seems.
 
This Is odd. Could it be rebound anxiety even though it totally feels distressing on my body? ? I just woke up took 3 Dexedrine tsblets ate ice cream bar and it felt like it was going to happen again. If all in favor of people thinking I should cut the Dexedrine out for awhile please say I! Because some major input is needed also how is Effexor? or Wellbutrin? I need a boost but if I am becoming sensitive I want to know why andWhat I should do about it. Its soooooo uncomfortably distressing
 
Having sugar and stimulants as soon as you wake up is bound to make you feel this way. You really need to see a doctor and lay off the dexedrine. As far as effexor and Wellbutrin are concerned, again, these are serious prescription medications that no one on the internet should be advising you about; you need to work with a doctor and/or a psychiatrist. I know you had issues with your last doctor but you really need to work on developing a relationship with a medical practitioner so that you can feel better.
 
Tachycardia=elevated heart rate

I would recommend that you seek the care of a physician, and take ALL of your medications with you to the appointment.
 
As someone that suffers from panic disorder this sounds to be an exact replication of a panic attack. A few things doctors will look at is your age, athleticism, past prescription use and any previous illnesses or heart problems.

Panic attacks seem "different" every time. Your brain's ability to differentiate and make logical decisions is blocked. It is very easy to convince yourself that it will be fatal, but panic attacks by themselves never killed anyone.

Breath into a bag every time a panic episode "erupts" and concentrate on individual activities and hobbies. I found that going to my doctor's office and explaining the situation allowed the nurses and workers to calm me down as they are trained and know the difference between a panic attack and heart attack.

I recommend to either taper off using anxiety medication or quit using stimulants (including caffeine). Your brain's ability to "Put the brakes" has been severely reduced by drug use. Frontal lobe activity quickly shifts to the middle of the brain where "fight or flight" and instinctual behavior is located.

Why would this be happening all of the sudden though!? I have a new psychiatrist now and hes not a dick. I am just concerned as I always eat yogurt and a banana and my Dexedrine. Shit for a Long time I would fall asleep on my Dexedrine. I was asking what Wellbutrin or Effexor Are as a Psychiatrist mentioned them to me? This really sucks because out of everything thats helped Dexedrine seemed to be best. Maybe I should worry about my Anxiety attacks first? The only Reason I can think of is my overload of current stressors..? I am moreso worrysome and anxious now than before. Could my body just want a break right now from this is that possible? I seriously need this medication but I dunno what to do. I think this is pretty bizarre. Way to bizarre. I know this is stupid but Friday I am going to try this and see if it happens again. I in general feel distressed about this.

During panic or after you may feel tired, depersonalized and dizzy.

Wellbutrin is a stimulant. While using wellbutrin you should not drink caffeine or take dexedrine for 1-2 weeks of letting it build up. Taking a stimulant on top of wellbutrin will usually cause over stimulation.

You mentioned that you are taking anxiety meds. If they are a benzodiazepine, then the simple combination of stimulants and GABA-ergics is enough to cause a problem. I am not sure how it works, however mixing "uppers with downers" is what lead to my issue.

I recommend to either taper off using anxiety medication or quit using stimulants (including caffeine). Your brain's ability to "Put the brakes" has been severely reduced by drug use. Frontal lobe activity quickly shifts to the middle of the brain where "fight or flight" and instinctual behavior is located.

This, however I feel as if you should talk to your doctor.

DO NOT try and repeat what happened today. You will most likely have another anxiety attack and maybe even go to the ER. They are unpredictable and your actions while having them are unpredictable as well.

I dont have any doctor I dont get it. I do have a psychiatrist appointment next week with a reaallllyy nice guy. Anyway last night I slept too long during the day and was up all night. I took my done then a xanax then I started to feel REGULAR. Not anxious by any means and I took 1 Dexedrine. Fell asleep. 1 More fell asleep halfass took a shower again and took another dexedrine. I think to be honest with you its how I am taking them. I feel like Right Now would be bad to take say a full 30mgs at once wheras I used to everyday and sleep. Is this weird? I dont get it. At all. This is Very confusing. If I feel to exhausted this shit never happens but days like when I am overly Abtsy or I drink coffee with it this happens. Its random and weird as fuck and regarding ER explain...

How are you supposed to be taking your amphetamine? It just doesn't make any sense to me to take an amphetamine AND a tranquilizer at essentially the same time. And then add an opiate on top of it. Your central and peripheral nervous system must have no idea how to respond to the chemical signals you are giving it.

It's really not that odd at all when you look at the medications you're taking.
