It started with not having any sleep. I could not go to sleep, i took dexedrine the next day. 30mg then again 30mg becuase of extreme dysphoria.
Listen, i have learned amphetamine can almost make you feel dead, and wanting to be dead after it is worn off.
I took 3 mg of clonazepam to sleep. The next day, was almost derealization. I took 15mg of dexedrine, not much at all, when it wore off I took an energy supplement. I thought i was going to fall apart. I was trembling mentally.
It just started with just me not getting good sleep the night before, the next day i was tired but i took it, over and over again. To keep from going dead.
Right now i feel, almost rejoicing that i am coming back to normal. I have had experinces with amphetamine. I am not touching that poisen for a while.
Every second i was on the edge, after it wore off, it was as if something tramatizing happened, reacting to it.
Strong selfcontrol is the key to this. I have learned.
I am so glad that i am coming back to life, i almost now see my life again.
I dont know if i sound crazy, but this is what happens when you take amphetamine repeately.

yeah...i hear ya. I had dysphoria with amphetamine too (crying, panic attacks, etc.) and the other side effects--weight loss, cardiovascular crap, that kind of thing--just became too much for me after a while. But...its also important to realize that they may be therapeutic in certain circumstances, so I guess just follow your gut on this one. Good luck!

Matt, what ever happened to your prozac and zyprexa? And who prescribed the amphetamines for you? Fondly, Phillipa

It can happen with Ritalin to, if i'm at home and take too much ADD med and drink too much tea,AND if i don't sleep well-I enter a twlight zone state the next day, If i take more ADD meds just to keep me going and on track.
Perhaps Amphetamines are just not for you Matt? or you need an AP?
Cheers

When I tried taking methamphetamine everyday I ended up with a feeling of terrible inner tension after a while. Not something benzos could get rid of. A feeling of a tight spring inside me being overwound. But I had no unusual problems taking it occasionally.

> DeclanHi Ya!
was this Medical Methylphetamine, (Desoxyn) or street Meth?
I experience a similar effect if i go without methylphenidate for a few days,(eat more, want to smoke, slowed down) then take 20-30mgs in the latter part of the day-when i start it again, and it has an almost reborn effect! i feel still, calm, centered, and the best part is THE OVERWHELMING CONTENTINESS OF JUST BEING IN THE MOMENT-JUST BEING. (which is what-i guess most folks experience naturally)-a wonderfull, wonderfull, feeling of being content just "to be" with my family.
Cheers
