Off a bunch of Vyvanse, finally hitting right. Anyone up for a chat?

When I was younger I used to get horrible comedowns from stims. Just incredible irritability and depression 8 to 12 hours after dosing. Now that I’m closer to 40 the high isn’t as high, but there is no comedown. For the entire duration of the psychoactive effects things are pleasant, even going into the next day. Sometimes euphoria is strongest 12 hours after dosing. On the other hand I get extreme anhedonia when the drug has totally left my system, usually starting 48 hours after dosing and lasting up to 5 days. When I was younger this did not happen. I was just curious to see if people have similar experiences, or if anyone can explain why this change occurs

At two months in on Vyvanse my dose was slightly increased and I have developed a red rash type thing on my neck for a week now. My legs also get a little red and splotchy. Has anyone experienced this on Vyvanse or any amphetamines? It seems like this happens to alot of people. Thank you!

edit; talking about meth

never tried to mix those two together, only ever really smoke weed on the comedown. i dont really get anxiety/paranoia from either of those drugs. my weed is indica

Hey, Ive been taking medium-higher doses of speed like 2-3 times a week for 2 months.

I was supposed to get my period like 5 days ago and I didnt. Thats not super unuasual. What is strange is that I have been getting period cramps (not normal cramps, definitely period) theres just no blood. And my boobs are swollen too, like they are on my period.

Do you think this is related to my speed use? The last time I took some was tuesday (It's saturday, I was supposed to get my period on monday-tuesday)

And do you think my period is just going to be late or I'll basically miss it this month?

Not sure if this is the appropriate group to ask this, if not maybe someone can point me in a different direction. **long read **

TL;DR: I've been using semaglutide (Wegovy) for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, and it's been helpful. However, it seems to be interfering with my ADHD medication (Focalin). I'm looking for advice from others who might have experienced similar issues or found solutions to manage both conditions effectively.

I have been receiving semaglutide injections (Wegovy) since April 2024. Through extensive research, I discovered that it could benefit individuals with autoimmune conditions. I started with a dosage of 0.15 units weekly from April to July, followed by 0.20 units every other week from August to present. This has been a significant improvement for my fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, increasing my overall baseline. While I had initial doubts, consistent use has led to a noticeable decrease in daily pain, inflammation, and improved overall well-being. After the first month, I no longer experienced side effects like nausea or constipation.

In addition to fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), I also have hypothyroidism (medication-controlled), low testosterone and progesterone levels due to a hysterectomy (now stabilized with medication), and severe inattentive ADHD.

My ADHD was manageable with Focalin, which I've been taking for about five years. I've moved beyond the initial 'euphoric' phase, as that's not my primary goal. In addition to aiding focus, organization, time management, and memory recall, it also provided the energy boost I needed to overcome fatigue and function daily. My primary care physician supports its use for both ADHD and CFS. I've carefully adjusted my dosage over the years (currently 1 20mg XR upon waking, 20mg XR four hours later, and 10mg IR between noon and 2ish as needed).

However, since starting semaglutide injections, I've noticed a significant decrease in the efficacy of Focalin. I'm experiencing a return of previous challenges, including procrastination, forgetfulness, disorganization, brain fog, lethargy, and overall chaos.

I've discussed this with my primary care physician, and they're open to adjusting my medication or trying different options. However, I prefer to do my own research first. Over the years, I've learned that optimizing my medication requires a holistic approach, including a healthy diet, adequate sleep, hydration, and regular exercise. I've also experimented with tolerance breaks and avoid taking supplements or vitamins concurrently with my medications, waiting at least an hour between doses. I've tried magnesium glycinate but didn't notice any consistent benefits, except for some sleep disturbances, which was unexpected.

While I'm committed to the benefits of semaglutide, I'm concerned about the negative impact on my ADHD management. I'm seeking insights from others who may have had similar experiences, successes, or challenges. Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated.

So I have powder and I want to snort it. NOWHERE can I find the recommended dosage for snorting raw amphetamine. It‘s 90% pure apparently.

Am I dumb? It makes me so fucking angry how there‘s like no harm reduction things when it comes to amphetamine. I don‘t want to die of an heart attack

im gonna relay everything i wrote in my notes while on the start of the comedown, i took both medications at 930-10am and it's currently 7pm.

"50mg vyvanse and 20mg fluexotine experience

taken: between 930am-10am ?? start symptoms: as soon as i took the meds, my stomach hurt and i felt sort of dizzy. start of the "high": 10am-1030am peak: 11am-1pm comedown symptoms: 2pm

experience: at 930-10am i took the meds, the come up was weird, it felt like a type of bliss and was kinda serenity like. my mind was quiet but i could still almost hear the thoughts in the back of my brain. it started going further and my body felt like it was floating. no thoughts were being processed but i could still make conversation with my friends etc. it felt like i was teleporting around the house, from my room to my housemates room to the office to the couch. i was sitting on the couch and was thinking it was bad to be sitting down, because it felt like my body was really comfortable with the floating. my brain went fully quiet after a while, which made me really nervous because it never does that. i was texting friends and did a deep breath when i realized i was breathing weirdly and wouldnt breath until i realized i had to. i was really thirsty and needed to pee alot the whole time, i also was in the middle of chugging coffee when i took the meds(fhats prob why i needed to pee sm). eventually i decided to go to my room and put music on. i couldnt feel my legs but i got up, it wasnt bad walking around just not much memory of getting back to my room. so the peak was kinda weird, started at 11am-12pm, nothing that scared me though, i felt really chill n all. it's 4:50pm now and the comedown isn't too bad, i talked to my housemate a fair bit and it was like i didn't care what i was saying, my mind was blank but i was having full conversations and could listen along with saying things of my own. according to my friends and bf i was happier, and i did feel happier genuinely. i still feel kind of out of it, but now my thoughts are coming back which sort of sucks. it's like 5pm now lol

mental effects(I noticed during come up and peak):

• happier
• couldn't feel sad
• liked to talk and was having a good conversation with online friends/bf/irl housemates
• focused (little bit of hyperfixation)

physical effects (i noticed during the whole time):

• teeth grinding
• sweating
• thirsty
• numb body (legs, hands, face) feeling
• couldn't speak on the come up
• spoke alot at peak and come down
• didn't feel hungry
• "floating" feeling
• stuttering alot in conversation on the comedown
• zoning out

misuse symptoms of vyvanse (from online that i felt too): • sweating • dilated pupils

side effects of fluexotine (from online that i felt too): • loss of appetite • nausea, dry mouth • feeling unusually weak or tired • sweating • hot flashes

i fast for 20 hours a day with a 4 hour eating period (undiagnosed anorexia, ive had problems with food since i was 9/10) and went 30 mins over my fasting time, i didn't feel hungry for most the day when i normally drink coffee and water to reduce the hunger. i stopped fasting at 4ish and had yoghurt with fruit. it felt really gross to eat, but i finished it. it made me feel kinda nauseous and dizzy after eating it. ill make sure to have dinner tonight, i hope.:(

symptoms at 5:15pm:

sadness level: 6/10 happiness level: 4/10 physical symptoms: headache, dry mouth/thirsty, numb hands/legs/face"

that's all.

im not having dinner, and can barely stomach water and other drinks because it feels repulsive to have.

yep, so basically my housemate gave me her meds this morning and didn't tell me the dose until later on. it didn't freak me out, until my boyfriend said that's 2/3 dexis in one pill basically. felt my heart skip a beat but didn't freak me out lol. ive used methamphetamine once and it calmed me, i told my psychologist and she suggested to look into an adhd diagnosis. my housemate said she'll give me another dose tomorrow, and i feel not too bad about it. i want to try and be functional on it and less floaty, like clean my room, shower, do some study etc. sunday will be my last time (and God yes i want it to be my last), because my housemate goes back to her mental health unit and i have family events this week.

but pretty much, was high as fuck, my brain being quiet for so long kind of scared me but it wasn't that bad i js made myself listen to music and talk to friends haha. it was kinda nice to be able to talk without any anxiety and overwhelming, i told my friends alot of cool things and thought alot clearer. especially at the comedown.

my worst thing atm is chewing on my gums and my jaw locking, but it happened with methamphetamine withdrawl too so it's not making me worried. and another thing is not being able to stomach much, i know vyvanse helps binge eating disorder and impulsivity, but i stopped fasting late and felt like throwing up as soon as something came near my mouth. i'm glad i ate though, because on meth i didn't eat for a few days. shittest thing is not being able to have any drink, not water, no sugary things i normally crave. ugh.

it's 7:25pm now, i feel sort of dizzy and sore + my headache and dry mouth from no liquid. my eating period ends in an hour, i want to try and have something even if i have to force it down my throat.

got curious n searched stuff up ab ptsd and vyvanse,

"Vyvanse, a prescription stimulant used to treat ADHD, may help control intrusive thoughts and nightmares in some people with PTSD" - one reason why i reckon i should go on this w script

also realized that when i go off this vyvanse my serotonin will act up n ill be pretty shit for a while.

but yeah! just saying my experience and all, only question is, should i ask my psychologist if she can put me on vyvanse? (a lower dose obviously.)

(had half a zooper dooper and a cup of water!) stay safe r/stims

The injecters

The MDMA bingers

The too long bingers, no breakers .

The not giving a fuck about their health.

Not eating or drinking and definetly not sleeping.

The Meth heads

Otherwise, do what u want

Sorry to those who got offended. I still belive everyone can get back to normal cognition.

Was always warned to never inject any speed. Also, do anyone know how the difference between meth and speed is? Been a user on and off but I always end up with a bender or that it interferes with work and then I stop.

It's always when I'm doing something completely unrelated. The shit just plays outta nowhere, and It takes me a while to realize I'm kinda controlling it, especially trippy asf on day 3 of being awake

It's not just audio like I have full-on visualization of imagery or who I'm converting with.

Can anyone relate?

One of these days, I will install it perfectly and cleanly. Even one command being mistyped and returning an error makes the whole install "dirty". Even if the error is meaningless and affects nothing. Every re-install I have to hard format the entire drive, flash the BIOS, set my BIOS settings again, then i can continue to the actual install. I need a clean starting point, of course. Why did God subject us to the eternal torture of both being able to die, and giving us consciousness to endlessly contemplate and try and escape from the inevitable Ultimate Shame. I thought he was supposed to love us.

Earlier today I happened to find 120 pills of 30 mg equasym er. Crushed them bad boys up and have now binged 14 hours on 600 mg. First 6-7 hours I experienced a strong body high and slight euphoria. The last 7 hours or so I’ve been fighting the absolutely horrible comedown. I keep redosing, only reaching 10 minutes of goodness but not near the previous effects. How do I stop/weaken the comedown?

Holly fuck I went on a 2 week bender green blue white xannax m30 pills coke meth and worked only 30hrs after some chick I went on two dates with cut me off , I really can’t believe I relapsed this bad and I’m not financially there to go on this type of bender I really don’t know what ima do !

Edit: MAC MILLER GODSPEED

22M, I never felt as if I fit in throughout my adolescence because I was awkward and sensitive. Fell into the drug group in high school because I couldn’t connect with my peers in any other way and ended up more or less having tried every drug by 17. I’ve had little bouts with weed and benzos but I otherwise consider myself stringently in control of my drug use, that is until I found dextroamphetamine and lisdexamphetamine.

Amphetamines have changed my life. Most of my friends enjoy partying and raving and I just can’t do it without amphetamines but I find myself having such a fucking good time when I do take them. I even find myself taking it for family events or when I will be in groups of large people because it has such a strong effect on my motivation to socialise. All it takes is two pills and fifteen minutes and I’m suddenly able to strike up meaningful conversations with strangers and chime into group discussions confidently and authentically.

I feel really grateful for these drugs, in my eyes they make me a better person to be around, but I also feel uncomfortable and guilty about taking them and I’m worried that I will end up addicted, with health issues or that I will commit suicide when I eventually decide to stop. I never use alone and my doses are pretty low (essentially therapeutic doses that my friends are prescribed) although I’ll often keep redosing throughout a night to keep myself going but I’m never tweaking, I just feel happy and comfortable expressing myself to others - something I’m completely incapable of when sober. On average I’ll use 0-2 times a week, sometimes with weeks in between dosing, other times I will use more.

I’m not entirely sure what I’m asking. If I’m being really honest, I guess I want permission or approval that what I’m doing is acceptable and ok. What does my future look like if I continue to use a couple of times a week? How can I work through this mental block I’ve created that I’m a boring, timid and lifeless person to be around unless I’m on amphetamines?

I have a region based question! Let me know.

Looking for someone to be open with

Amazing weekend ahead

Can't attach photos for some reason, but on the Wikipedia page for the TAAR1 receptor (main biological target of amphetamine) the picture for that page is a chart saying that TAAR1 activation causes:

-a increase of satiety and lower food intake (obviously)

-an increase of insulin in the pancreas

-delayed gastric emptying making you feel fuller longer

-a decrease in glucose excursion (meaning spikes or changes in blood sugar)

-a decrease in body weight

-an increase in glp-1 and PYY hormones (glp-1 being the molecules that ozempic mimicks for weight loss) (and PYY is the hormone that is produced in the gut that helps regulate appetite and the balance of fungi in the digestive system)

-and a decrease in fasting glucose

Also when doing more googling, oddly enough I found a lot of people saying that their Adderall/ dexedrine wasn't working when mixed with semaglutide. There was articles written about it too, it seems to be a common phenomenon making me wonder if some of amphetamines effects actually come from its effects on glp-1 molecules and receptors. I mean humans have been researching it since 1927 and it wasn't until 2001 that we even discovered the TAAR1 receptor and that amphetamine interacts with it. Before then amphetamine was just believed to be a dopamine norepinephrine releaser and reuptake inhibitor, and it turns out a lot of its actions are through that receptor. I'm wondering if it's the same with the glp-1 receptors. that's not even mentioning that we're still discovering things about the dopamine and norepinephrine systems, and the trace amines and their functions are still just being uncovered.

I heard drugs like vyvanse are medical forms of meth How true is that? Do users get the same high? Or is the high different due to swallowing a tablet instead of smoking or… Just curious ha, thanks

Had my upper lip burning from the inside of my mouth so i pulled it to check on it then noticed how much fucked up my teeth are just from 1 year daily heavy eurospeed usage and i decided to quit cold turkey

had my last dose yesterday (fri. 5am) it’s now saturday 1:20am i’m trying to go to sleep and rest my body before being back at work on monday, i’m laying in my bed in a dark room after a decent meal and a whole day of hydrating myself and after i close my eyes when few minutes passes i start seeing „through” my eyelids almost exact same image as if i have opened my eyes and on top of that random characters or faces fly from one side to the other side of the image i „see” or rather my brain made up.

this isn’t sleep deprivation because despite doing eurospeed daily i managed to get sleep each night and all the necessary vitamins and minerals

i’m not panicking or anything but has anyone ever had something similar happening to them after going cold turkey?

Been taking excessive doses for 5 days (making sure to always sleep and always eat) and seeing constant movement like a light layer of patterns over vosion but low opacity so I can only see light movements everywhere unless I focus my eyes I can see 3d field of patterns and if i look at one perspective and change where I look I will see after frames in my vision. Is light visuals and patterns normal for methylphenidate?

So after taking a 6 months break from all substances except weed, i decided to do this combo tonight. I started off with taking 1mg xanax and once it hit, i smoked a fat joint and did two lines of 4mmc. All i gotta say is that this is the most euphoric high ive ever experienced. Im so fucking geeked but at the same time calm. Lol. Wish yall a great friday night

I’m taking Clomipramine, Bupropion XL, and Adderall XR. I’ve noticed that with all of the stimulants I’ve tried such as Concerta, Vyvanse, and Adderall, I always end up wanting to increase my dose higher and higher, even when I’ve already reached the maximum dose. And I rely way too much on whichever stimulant I’m on. Like if I don’t take it for a day or two, I become so sleepy and depressed.

I’m taking a high dose of Adderall XR, 60mg. It’s considered to be the maximum dose or even a bit higher than the recommended maximum. Although I’m on a high dose, it doesn’t feel like it’s enough. This has happened to me with all of the stimulants I’ve tried.

The main reason I got onto a stimulant was because I have idiopathic hypersomnia, which is a sleeping disorder where I feel excessively sleepy all the time. The stimulants also seemed to help my treatment resistant depression but then there’s the issue where it feels like the dose isn’t high enough and I rely on the stimulant way too much.

I’ve recently been looking into Modafinil. It’s a medication that treats the disorder I have, idiopathic hypersomnia, and it also has been shown to help with depression. It works differently compared to the regular stimulant medications. I’ve also read that people who take Modafinil typically don’t build up a significant tolerance to it like one might with Adderall.

What are your thoughts? I would highly appreciate any advice.

So to preface I had done a 2 night binge before this then slept a bit then another 2 night binge, so at the at end of this binge I was on idk prolly 400mg of vyvanse and I went to piss after seshing up an eight in my room and as I washed my hands I started fucking tripping man, I’m a psychedelics warrior but this was like so weird never had this and I’ve been in psychosis before cuz of stims (long time ago) and it was nothing like this, this was like being on a tab. Any input?

My friend is shipping me addys from NYC to the seacoast. I'm sending him an ulta order and he will package it inside the order.. is this possible ? Any chance of getting caught? Also I will try to have it expedited too. Looking forward to hearing what u have to say! Thanks!

Recently found a box of these. Seems like a high dose, is there any recreational value? I have some adderall and wondered if taking pseudo would help me take less adderall? Not sure if I worded myself right. Regardless I’d like to know if there’s any value in pseudo.

I can't stop. I mean I can and I have, I just don't think I want to. I feel fine. Alot of my issues come from the guilt of using a substance that everyone sees as life destroying. I'm ruining myself trying to dodge everything. Dont get me wrong I wish I never started doing meth. I don't know if I should be happy I'm semi functional or I should hate it. I just want a prescription

Anyone have any recommendations on anything to help move on. I'm planning on quitting for good. I think I just need to medicate the way everyone does it.

Ya girl is back (been up for 3 days lol and still going strong) but I'm high and bored so who wants to chat? I'm 27, female and from Portland OR. See ya in my DMs!
