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.

ER would be best, but if you can't go, you must must stay hydrated! Gatoraid will help bring up low blood pressure. But you say your heart rate is high. With low BP and a high heart rate, in basic terms,  your body doesn't get good nutrition, and oxygen to the cells.

If it was me and I had no way of getting to the ER, I would rest, no exerting myself, drink massive gatoraid, lay in bed with several pillows or reclined in a recliner. Try to relax. And I would watch my heart rate.

Good luck.

She doesnt test any of her Suboxone patients. She also rarely kicks a patient unless they really make her mad.

Okay, that sounds low, but 5mg sub is approx. 200mgs of morphine.  You are definitely feeling the withdrawal on top of the adderall. Does your doctor test you? Adderall will register as amphetamine, something to consider. You may need to tell them to prevent getting kicked out of the program. Your subs getting stolen is a red flag, so I hope you can keep going on your taper.

Oh man, keep hydrated for sure. I went days without eating on speed, I get that. Juice, can you drink a little to get some fructose?

You are also in sub detox, how much where you taking when they were stolen? How long until you get more? This may be the time to just ride this out and get clean. The detox plus speed is an intense combination. I found even pot to make detox worse back when I would run out. Nothing really helps in the first weeks of sub or methadone detox.
