Scary Adderall XR Effect

I crushed and snorted 6 - 30mg Adderall XR's in about an hour. I had no effects at all then suddenly they hit when I was walking to my bedroom and I got really light-headed and dizzy and my heart was beating really fast. I had to run to the couch cause I felt like I was gonna black-out. It went away as soon as I sat down. Its been over 12 hours since I've taken them but I still get the same effects when I stand up and my BP a few minutes ago was 75/51, im scared, what should I do?

You're gonna be awake for a few days if you never take amphetamines. As you mind and body weaken in this condition, It could easily end your life. You may live and you may not. Eating is gonna be hard too. If you are willing to gamble with your life and stay home, take vitamins, drink tons of water and electrolytes. If you dehydrate, all your worries are over. Try a protein shake and stay calm. I agree about The ER, but I am as stbborn as you, my lungs stopped several times. I hope you are as lucky as I am.

Throwing up will cause an increased heart rate too, from dehydration. Which is why you must continue to drink tons of water/ gatoraid even when you start feeling better. Keep that up.

I'm glad to hear your BP is increasing, because in normal doses, Adderall usually increases BP, but in overdoses it can dramatically drop.

Sounds like you're coming out of it, but as its an extended release, and as Weaver said the metabolites are still present, remain hyper awarel with your symptoms.

As far as your stolen meds, did you file a police report to partly back this up to your Dr?
