Since I've been on Parnate + Adderall, I've had some very strange nighttime experiences.
I wrote about the first one, I believe, where I stayed 2 nights in a row without sleep and still felt driven to keep going, but later when I finally went to sleep the third night, I slept through a whole day without realizing and woke up 1.5 days later and had no feeling or sense of having slept through a whole day.. I felt like I had just woken from a coma.
Say, I went to bed Sunday night, woke up till Tuesday thinking it was Monday and not realizing what happened. I actually woke up briefly Monday late at night, thinking it was Sunday night after a few hours of sleep, and I felt totally depleted.. I began crying desperately, I didn't recognize my room, everything looked strange to me, I felt lonely as hell and needed to talk to someone (even though I'm usually the opposite, never want to speak to people when I'm upset..) Wow.. I was just in shock at the experience. Weirdest thing ever. I mean, I cried for about an hour.. even called my doctor in hopes that he'd pick up, and I never do that. It was so horrible that now, whenever I stay up 2 straight nights, I put 5 alarms so this will never happen again. I rather get up and feel like crap than sleep for 15+ hours and wake up so depleted of neurotransmitters that I actually reach that state of unbearable dysphoria.
Sorry about the length of this, but I had a 2nd weird experience where I also spent 2 nights straight, but this time I wasn't depressed. Instead, I began to see things. When I was turning on the light, I saw a hand, and I saw those fast body part moves in other places. My winter jacket has a fur trim, and I had it on my desk chair..every time I looked at it, I was startled because it looked like a woman, and I felt a presence and began to get really really scared, to the point that I thought someone from my family had really come back. Then I was eating and I was awake but at the same time talking to people; I felt "in company" and remember I was sort of laughing inside because people were with me.. either unconsciously or in another way I don't understand..
I really don't know what was all that.. but it was also a very strange experience I never had before.
Has anyone had an experience like this before, either on Parnate or on something else? What is it and why does it happen?
