Stimulants Why do amphetamine comedonws (adderall/vyvanse) make me pms

[Intenselife]

Hey, so you guys are in luck that it won't be a 5 page letter post, since i'm kinda starting to comedown off my prescribed dose of 60mg, which i only take twice a week usually 120mg (and no even with no tolerance it doesnt make me feel like dying, but a rougher comedown). My sister who is 4 years older then me, and a nurse says that I act exactly like women do when their pmsing when I occassionally take my vyvanse or adderall. Granted that i'm gay and prescribed benzos as well, I have been tested multiple times to hormonal imbalances partially do to constant depression for 10 years (22 now).

Either way, I mean I drink green tea which helps some of the comedown, i'm prescribed klonopin (although sometimes it makes me more depressed during the comedown but less anxious but just adds to unmotivated), I also exercise sometimes, eat a lot of almonds for dopamine boost, take magnesium and fish oil omega 3 daily, and while all this helps tremendously, usually I still feel pretty shitty sometimes worse then others sometimes better. Basically let me just say, I'm having cramps, I'm constantly peeing, I'm having bloating from the constant peeing, Migraine (all those remedies reduce it though), I feel real irritable (not real angry though, but more less likely to take offense to things/emotional). Slightly more irritable, don't wanna be around people that say something that I could normally ignore but probably would upset me in the awful comedown stages. Minor sore joints, nipples getting harder (because of increased sex drive). Sometimes random crying spells, I could worry about the same issue for hours and hours, a lot of mind racing, very jumpy to loud noises, or fits about things that already bother me, constant state of things i'm anxious about but only 10x worse then normal, wondering if i'll feel back to how i normally feel which isn't that great anyways, etc etc etc


BTW THIS IS WITH DAILY MAGNESIUM, OMEGA 3, MULTIVITAMIN, EXERCISE, A LOT OF WATER ETC PRESCRIBED KLONOPIN GREEN TEA, AND WHEN I DIDN'T USE ANY OF THOSE, THE COMEDOWNS WERE EVEN SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH WORSE UNBEARABLE SOMETIMES, BUT THEY STILL SUCK WTF! I CAN KEEP RANTING GOD, RECREATIONAL OPIATES ETC DO NOT HAVE ANY COMEDOWN LIKE AMPHETAMINES NEVER TRIED A DRUG THAT CAN MAKE YOU FEEL SO MISERABLE IN THE SHORT TERM JEEZUS.
GIRLS: Would you think that atleast some of things that I mentioned would resemble pms symptoms as a result of amphetamine crash. Oh and by the way from a blood test, I was able to prove that when I'm coming down off an amphetamine my hormones do go very crazy.

Sounds like a stupid question, but i'm just curious since i'm tired of having all these friends who are girls and are always pmsing at different times, and sometimes an amphetamine comedown makes me act very similar towards how they describe how they feel.

This is pretty typical of a stimulant comedown. What goes up must come down. Stimulants flood your brain with massive amounts of dopamine, norepinephrine and sometimes serotonin, and when that effect wears off you're left with a crash, with low levels of these present in your brain you're left feeling lethargic, sick, upset, annoyed, angry, and generally sick. Simply try decreasing your dosage in future, in general if you're experiencing bad comedowns you're taking too much of the stimulant, or it's not the stimulant for you. Many stimulants have a more intensely unpleasant comedown than the pleasures of the high itself and for me and a lot of others Amphetamine is one of those.

Benzodiazepines and alcohol can also help with a tough comedown but mixing drugs can have unintended consequences if you don't know what you're doing and in my experience amphetamine comedowns are just something that.. once you've taken too much, you can't really remedy it.

The best thing to do if you're on that comedown is to force down a nice healthy meal (it's easier than you think, you might not have any appetite, but once you start eating, the residual stimulation makes the task go by a lot quicker) and then get to sleep as soon as you can. The worst thing you can do is take more stimulants of any kind as it'll only prolong the agony.

Sometimes if I want to continue a session i'll add in a little caffeine; but let's be honest it's so much better to just eat a good meal and rest as Jesus up there recommended

Ok so in the past few hours, I've drank two cups of green tea (always help a little bit), took my 2 1mg daily prescribed klonopins (normally they dont make so tired like everyone else, but I could feel being more tired since the amphetamine was in my system, mildly reduced anxiety) took my daily magnesium and omega 3, Um Initally I did feel positive effects from those very beneficial vitamins, but long term wise I can't really tell any difference now.

The misery sometimes still never goes away, on a side note I have always thought alcohol helps with the comedown a lot more, a few glasses of red wine. It's safer then other illegal stuff (other than marijuana that i use) and for me alcohol has always gaven me for confidence/anxiety relief/mild euphoria then benzos unlike for most people. But because I live with my parents, I dont want them to find a bottle.

---I wish I had a vicodin (or a couple) I feel that would of been so much more pleasant than the klonopins my body is dependent on.

Owww, my liver/lower abdominal area has this pressure it's annoying. I get out of breath if I start talking. I mean ughhhhhhh (I have to remember like every time that I will return to somewhat sane again by tomorrow or the day after).

God, if this is how girls feel (probably even worse then this) every month for usually a week, I totally would shoot myself in the head, I couldn't imagine this feeling for several days let alone even one.
