In reply to PROBLEMS WITH DEXEDRINE:HEARING VOICES, posted by Buddy on March 27, 2001, at 19:03:38
> I currently take 40mg of Dexedrine(Dextroamphetamine) a day .. When im in bed trying to get to sleep i hear weird voices and sounds.. They race through my mind EXTREMELY fast.. I also see bright Colors that move around and then turn into objects..
> Also during the day i sometimes go into DEEP staring spells that it's almost hard to snap out of. When im in one, things change shape and color, my pupils get HUGE and im unable to move my body. I DO not have narcolepsy, epilepsy or schizophrenia, And all of this ONLY happens when i'm the medication.
> What the hell is going on????????
> Plus I don't want to be adviced to stop taking it or lower the dose cuz im already aware that i should do that, im just EXTREMELY curious as to what is going in my head.
> ThanksBuddy,
Please consult with physician about this asap.
Repeated administration of psychostimulants like dexedrine have the potential to induce psychosis
(hearing voices is a symptom). Its not unlike the psychosis reported in schizophrenia, although it does not mean you are schizophrenic.-John
