druggies help me out here
i had some projects i had to finish so i bought 30mg adderall to study with
i got done with one of them and started messaging some of my classmates, and for the first time, i don't feel like i'm keeping everything bottled up or like i can't say things out of fear of being called retarded. it's like being socially drunk but without the depression
but everyone says that adderall makes anxiety worse, should i stop taking it or will i be ok?
depends if you have add/adhd or not. If you have adhd it can relax you so you can focus. Still if you take a lot with adhd you will get tweaky.
Any stimulant, even coffee, can trigger anxiety.
I'd say what's happened in this situation is from getting on a stimulant is the temporary euphoria, happiness, positivity and confidence a stimulant can provide, especially a large initial dose like you've taken... but as aforementioned it really is temporary, once this wears off the anxiety really gets amplified. You sweat a lot, your heart beats faster+harder and you can feel it, you overthink things and think too fast and respond too fast then feel like an idiot, you get paranoid over everything, you can't sit still and when you 'crash' after a dose wears off you can feel very depressed and very anxious. People can get their first panic attacks from stimulant use.
This type of effect from a stimulant doesn't last at all, and getting addicted to stimulants for any reason can often end up that you're worse than when you started and rely on increasingly higher doses to get to a baseline you were at sober previously.
i see
thank you, that explains it a lot
do medications for treating anxiety help give you that confidence and positivity or is it just a thing that "bad"/addictive drugs give you?
I can't bare amphetamine comedowns, its just 12-24 hours of pure suicidal hell, my brain wont sleep but my body is begging for rest. Its why I either do coke, ephedrine (no comedown for me like reg amphetamine), or just lots of coffee.
The worst comedowns/crashes I've ever had is when I've taken both ritalin and caffeine, on top of felling nauseous and not able to sleep I've never felt more depressed in my entire life, I end up thinking over everything even slightly bad about myself or the people around me in such a weird horrifically bad way over slight problems/faults and that it's all hopeless. Outside of this I don't feel depressed at all.
I never get a hangover or comedown from concerta. I tried Ritalin a few times and same. Amphetamine on the otherhand gives a shitty comedown for me.
Op get vyvanse if you want amph its a lot better.
That's why I love speedballing with coke and dope, the coke gives me that boost of energy + confidence and although the comedown time builds up with more use it never lasts more than a couple hours of irritability + I can do more dope to feel "normal". Caffeine can last a while for me too, maybe we both have slower metabolisms or something.
having ADHD, ritalin and dexamphetamine drastically reduce my anxiety as i can keep on top of things easily.
Most people it gives worse anxiety
It can go either way.
I've had it where it amplified my anxiety, but that's pretty rare out of all the times I've taken it.
Overall, its good shit. I took one today for exams. Don't worry about it OP.
Makes me less anxious, combined with my zoloft and occasional xannies.
that's a lot of meds m8
i dont take adderal but have taken meth which is pretty similar. but i guess not because i'd take meth in higher doses
meth makes me more anxious than normal outside just walking around, shopping etc. because i'm looking everywhere at everything and thinking too much. Its wierd but feels like being anxious and not anxious at the same time.
But socially talking one on one to someone I have way reduced anxiety/nervousness in speaking and more general comfortability. In a group social setting (which i dunno because i never am) as in sitting around with people talking, not just passing by randoms with no social contact it would probably be reduced anxiety/nervousness the same too.
Most get prescribed mild benzos or ssri for that here.
you are just dumb sorry pal
If you don't have ADHD then you'll have to take a pretty low dose of adderall or you'll just tweak and not be able to focus on anything
Stimulants can trigger anxiety, just like they can trigger relaxment. Like any drug, situation matters. I'm more worried about you saying shit you shouldn't say to other people. I know how talkative and wellbeing it can make you.
i already do that when blackout drunk so this is a plus
only pathetic beta males need to take pills LMAO JUST SUCK IT UP AND WORK ITS NO THAT HARD LOOOOOOOOOL
