I have plans today and plan to be out really late, the problem is I have work in the morning. I'm not going to cancel because that would inconvenience a lot of people and I'm going to be taking adderall to get through the next couple days. Would I experience any form of stimulant psychosis staying awake from 7am today to ~2pm tomorrow? I realize I'll probably be strung out but I can handle that no problem. I will be taking around 40-80mg of adderall throughout the night and day and I'm already on 20mg which should last me until 5pm today.

thanks
 
The problem with addies is the harsh come down. And the no so long lasting high. In the future id try to get vyvanse.

About ur question, besides bein tired and a bit sore u should be fine. Psycosisshouldnt set in till 3rd day up...deppending on how much amphetamine u use
 
Not at the relatively low doses that you're consuming. Stimulants can definitely make you "psychotic" in both thoughts and behavior if you take far too large of a dose, but the main catalyst for the psychosis experienced by, for instance, chronic meth/amphetamine and cocaine users is brought on mostly by sleep-deprivation. This usually takes a few days to set in.

A couple of times I've been awake for 3-4 days on amphetamine and I did begin to get paranoid and experience visual disturbances like sight trails, fuzziness of vision and the feeling that something was moving on the outskirts of my peripheral vision.
 
I've been awake for over 36 hours on caffeine, I got pretty fuzzy headed but didn't feel too terrible. I wasn't sure if the comedown at the 30 hour mark on amp would create a mindset where I was delusional. The comedown sucks already without being sleep deprived and while being well fed and hydrated. Thanks for the info, I'll try to get some sleep since I have oxy to ease the comedown.
 
If it's only for a night and you're only using around 40-80mg of Adderall over the course of about 30 hours then I'd be surprised if you wound up psychotic. From my understanding stim psychosis tends to set in more often when you do ridiculous doses (like an idiot I know of who took 80mg IR racemic amphetamine his first time and wound up in Bellevue) or if you go on a multi-day binge (which seems to be a somewhat common mode of use among regular meth users). I've been awake for 36-40 hours straight on caffeine a few times, and I've used 20mg Adderall XR (two 10mg doses, spaced about ten hours apart) to bang out a humanities paper over the course of a night (which I think left me with 25-30 hours awake by the time I could fall asleep) and I didn't experience anything resembling psychosis.
 
I wouldn't say it is likely... l have missed one night of sleep and functioned perfectly the next day. Two nights for me is a different story...that is the point where l will start hallucinating. I can't believe anyone would want to stay up any longer than one night but l am not a stim lover anyways. So l am sure you will be fine just don't make it a regular thing, because even when we think we are pulling it off l am pretty sure it is noticeable to normies.
 
I'm at 48 hours right now, I've taken a total of 80mg of adderall evenly spaced and 70-100mg of oxycodone. I'm not sure how much oxy I took, I lost track. I only took a small nap an hour long at around 4am Friday.

I'm actually feeling pretty good for 48 hours with almost no sleep. I stayed hydrated and had a normal meal schedule the whole time, I probably owe my good mental condition to the oxy. The strange thing is even when taking a moderately strong dose of oxy I didn't pass out. I'm even on a good strong dose of oxy right now and am not nodding or really that tired.
 
Psychosis is never predictable not on dosage or tolerance half life etc..
 
Stay off Pyrovalerones (MDPV, a-PVP and the likes), eat healthy, drink lots of water, use supplements and take a break from whatever you're doing at the moment to relax. A few minutes of shuteye goes a long way. Also, don't be afraid of psychosis, mindset and all. The more you obsess aobout it, the more likely it will set in. Don't use when you're in a bad mood already. And don't mix different kinds of stims, evern low doses increase the probability of becoming a paranoid zombie.
