I'll try to keep this brief. Second half of the day I haven't been feeling so hot.
The first 10mg adderall dose that I took upon awakening seemed to pep me up a bit and give me a bit more social boldness.
The second 10mg dose, which I took at 6p.m here, didn't fare so well. As the dose kicked in, I got some new creative energy, and was able to play and enjoy the piano for about 20 minutes. I then noticed increased social boldness as I conversed with someone.
But then, all of a sudden, it's like the bad side-effects all hit me at once - armpits sweating constantly, I noticed my RHR was up at @105bpm (my raised RHR was something that concerned my pdoc when I was taking higher doses of adderall in the recent past).
Also, I am noticing a certain type of anxiety that is hard to pinpoint - it's like a spaciness and general feeling of being ill at ease, which hits me in waves.
I realize now that I was living in this state for almost a year, taking adderall 35mg a day, without realizing that it might have been heightening my anxiety and general malaise.
Now, I have no idea if I should give it more time and take the 20mg a few more days, or if, in doing so, I would ultimately just be getting my brain once again adjusted to a med that I'd probably end up coming off of in the long-run anyway.
It has it's benefits (listed above), but I just feel a bit uneasy about it-and stopping after just one day would probably not produce any withdrawal symptoms, as I haven't given my body enough time to accimate to it.
But then what? If I back up and decide to stopand not after all resume the adderall, I'll be taking 3.5-4mg of klonopin daily and will probably be quite tired and moody.
Damn, this sucks that of all times, my pdoc has got to be on vacation now! I know I sound selfish, but I'm confused again )o:
