SLeep Problems with amphetamines

Posted by Mindreseacher on September 14, 2004, at 11:13:14

Hi, i have a few experiences that maybe someone would relate. I starteed adderall 30mg 2-3 x daily after a 10 day break last tuesday, 1 week ago. For the first 2 days, it worked great again. But this weekend, i did stay up for 2 days, well it seems i just did not need to sleep, and was really busy.
Ok, well sunday to money, i slept long. Well all day monday night i felt horrible. Even the adderall wasnt working, i mean it was working, but i could not feel it, and i was feeling funny sensdations. Now i want to believe that because i failed to sleep for 2 days, is effecting me now, and hopefully ill get back on track. I mean in just 4 days, the effects diminsh! That disappoints me alot.
Now i feel like i must take it, i mean if i miss a dose, i get so very tired, i cant do anything. I know sleep is very important. But my schedule is weird. I dont fall asleep to about7-9am, then sleep to 4pm. SOme days i may only get 2 hrs of sleep. But i still dont think this can cause amphetamines to diminish that fast.
Iv been also taking Dopamine precursors (natural ones), also, reasing more about how amphetamines can depelete storages of DA. But this drug works so good for my add, and more. So if i loose its effects, ill be very disapointed and what not.

I mean 30mg of adderall does not last more than 5 hrs, by hour 7 i feel like falling over, but still alert, a weird feeling untill i dose again. ALthough i try nont to drink coffee, which iused to drink 3-4 cups a day, but this can hinder amphetamimes.

IM going to just take it this week, give it a total about 2 weeks, and then alter it with ritalin which i get through another source. Instead of running out, and feeling like hell, ill at least give my brain a break from the amphetamines, use Ritalin which doesent impact me like adderll, but helps me alot when coming off adderall. I still have to take 2-3 ritaln.

Thank you
MR2004
