I am sorry that had happened to you. I am glad you are okay.

Both you and "bluebicycle" have mentioned mania/psychosis from stimulants and this is a VERY IMPORTANT point! Some of us need stimulants and can tolerate them, while stimulants can be very dangerous to others of us.

Thank you so much for sharing!
