Very interesting! Thanks for the information and the follow up post. Most people won't take the time so I really appreciate it. Do feel free to check in every now and then and offer your experiences. Best wishes!!
Ime fine now cuz they put me back on vyvance. But they switched me to intunive. And o told my doctor how much i was taking along with other drugs. And she told me that my brain can only get rid of 70 mg of the dextroamphetamins every 24 hours. So by taking 120mg every two days i forced my brain to store a shitload of adrenaline boosting, amphetamin based chemicals... Not goood.
What new med did they put you on and how much and how often are you taking it?
I havnt slept in 32 hours, and am having bad hallucinations its almost as ive my vision is zooming in and out really far, and things seem to be moving alot when there really not moving at all...
Saw your post to Ryann and you may hit on something. If you read all of Ryann's posts - it turned out he was hypoglycemic. Here are the symptoms for that.
Adrenergic manifestations
Shakiness, anxiety, nervousness
Palpitations, tachycardia
Sweating, feeling of warmth (although sweat glands have muscarinic receptors, thus "adrenergic manifestations" is not entirely accurate)
Pallor, coldness, clamminess
Dilated pupils (mydriasis)
Feeling of numbness "pins and needles" (paresthesia)
Glucagon manifestations
Hunger, borborygmus
Nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort
Headache
Neuroglycopenic manifestations
Abnormal mentation, impaired judgment
Nonspecific dysphoria, moodiness, depression, crying, exaggerated concerns
Negativism, irritability, belligerence, combativeness, rage
Personality change, emotional lability
Fatigue, weakness, apathy, lethargy, daydreaming, sleep
Confusion, amnesia, dizziness, delirium
Staring, "glassy" look, blurred vision, double vision
Flashes of light in the field of vision
Automatic behavior, also known as automatism
Difficulty speaking, slurred speech
Ataxia, incoordination, sometimes mistaken for "drunkenness"
Focal or general motor deficit, paralysis, hemiparesis
Paresthesia, headache
Stupor, coma, abnormal breathing
Generalized or focal seizures
Its possible that this is what is going on with you. Typically withdrawal from stim meds if you have AD/HD is no big deal. The only thing I could find on Abrupt cessation was this. " Amphetamines have been extensively abused. Tolerance, extreme psychological dependence, and severe social disability have occurred. There are reports of patients who have increased the dosage to levels many times higher than recommended. Abrupt cessation following prolonged high-dosage administration results in extreme fatigue and mental depression; changes are also noted on the sleep EEG. Manifestations of chronic intoxication with amphetamines may include severe dermatoses, marked insomnia, irritability, hyperactivity, and personality changes. The most severe manifestation of chronic intoxication is psychosis, often clinically indistinguishable from schizophrenia." And, of course at 120 mg you were quite a bit over the 70mg max.
And, it may be the new meds are doing this to you. Not sure what you are on. I think that you should go back to your doc and describe what is happening to you and let them sort it out. Also I would google hypoglycemia and maybe try some suggestions for that. Change in diet etc. and see what happens.
Wish, I could help more, but this (outside of Ryann) is the first I have ever heard of this. Please let me know what happens, so maybe I can help the next person too. Good Luck!
