Hello,
So pretty much I've had some issues lately with my prescribed Dextroamphetamine. I've been searching the internet far and wide for the past few days for hours on end and I can't come to any definitive conclusion.
Firstly let me just paint the picture for you. I've been using D-amp for my ADD for the past ~2 months or so and haven't experienced anything other than positive effects besides the typical appetite loss, insomnia and unpleasant comedowns.
However the other day, everything took a turn for the worse:
Day 1: Took my prescribed dose as usual but that night I preceded to say 'fuck it' and stay up all night to finish an assignment for school due the following day. I took around ~50-60mg over the course of the night and made sure to drink plenty of water and eat plenty of healthy foods.
Day 2: Went to school after pulling an all-nighter and used around 40mg to stay awake and function. I felt pretty normal other than being slightly delirious; although I don't think that's important. That day I knew that the come-down would be absolutely horrible so I managed to score 20mg of oxycodone to help. I used about 50mg of DXM and copious amounts of grape fruit juice to potentiate the oxy. The oxy hit me like a freight train - probably because I hadn't used in 5 months, i spend that afternoon nodding in absolute bliss.
Day 3: I woke up after about 8-9 hours sleep and for some reason decided to abuse my d-amp. I took around 50mg and went to school. for the first ~2 hours I felt fantastic and on-top of the world; how mistaken I was. All of a sudden I was hit with an intense bout of nausea and dizziness. I left school early and came home, I researched my symptoms and came to the conclusion that I was suffering an opiod-hangover to which I took 50mg of promethazine to combat my nausea.
After the drowsy effects of the prometh took its toll, this is where my problems began, however I doubt it was the prometh - rather just a coincidence. I felt, what can be described as 'strange' - just like a 600mg DXM trip, I felt:
-an immense brain-fog and dizziness
-confused and dazed at times
-as though I was disconnected and I was floating.
-my body was quite numb
-I had 'tunnel vision', in that anything that I wasn't focusing on was blurring and strange.
-my hearing was also a bit dulled
-cold flushes
It wasn't exactly dysphoric or nightmarish but it was unpleasant after a while and I just wanted to feel normal again. Stupidly I took 20mg of d-amp hoping that it would cure my symptoms, but I felt the same, maybe even slightly worse.
Anyway, I managed to maintain some basic eating habits and get some sleep.
Day 4 - Awaking after a hefty ~11 hour sleep I felt much better - almost normal, however the effects started to come back gradually and I experienced a panic attack (I'm fairly accustomed to them due to an anxiety disorder so this didn't bother me too much). That night I went to a party and took 20mg over the course of the night along with a lot of alcohol. A point to note is that when I took my first dose of the night (10mg) I felt quite nice although weird with a continuing brain-fog. I also had fully dilated pupils and a compulsion to dance.
Day 5 (today) - I woke up with no hangover but maintained this ongoing brain-fog which has made even the most trivial tasks quite thought-demanding. I took 10mg of d-amp to study but that proved useless and instead made my brain-fog more intense and got a slight body buzz.
I have convinced myself of having (although I'm 99% thats not the case): serotonin syndrome, liver failure, hyponatremia, permanent brain-damage (still thinking that
) so I need a personally catered response in order to be certain.
Obviously the contuniuing usage of d-amp isn't helping and a week's break is in order but I'm scared this will all happen again after I resuming.
I've started to think that maybe I've depleted my dopamine so i've been taking Vitamin B's, Magnesium, zinc (anything that might help my brain)
Thank you for taking your time to read this.
If anyone has experienced this or something similiar I'd like to hear it! The main thing I'm looking for is something conclusive and ways to prevent/cure it.
