Guys! I'd like to hear your experiences about amphetamine doses, and the responses each one had!
I'm currently on vyvanse 70mg, but not long ago, I was prescribed 50mg.
Recently I've been kinda blunted, with an enormous empty feeling, also leading to social withdrawal and anhedonia!
I've always heard about higher doses leading to this, but not from studies about side effects! Only from user's experiences!
Did it happened with you guys?
Thx a lot

Concerta made me so sad just empty bad cold like a zombie.

My psychiatrist told me to keep taking it an it will go away.

I stopped taking it but then had 100 54mg Concertas in stalk pile.

After abuse in lethal doses (200-600mg or 1300mg in 24 hours). I somehow tricked my brain into liking it.

The times that I was high on such doses, I was practically melting in my chair so omg I have never been that relaxed in my life. Not even alcohol or benzos calm me down that much..

I think methylphenidate is a calming stimulant. Unlike coffee. I once OD'd on caffiene pills took 14 because I was so used to doing that with methylphenidate

[Trimethylxantine]

dude, im not here to worrie anyone but, Psych, these are sympthoms of substance abstinence, it is normal, even that can happen with less amount of stimulant, nicotine alcohol or any other substance, dont be worried, i think 70mg of lisdexamph equals to somewhat of 30 mg of dexamph, so dont be worried about the dose, in a clinical context lets say it is quite harmless. Do not raise it ever higher than prescribed, you could have serious issues like, if done that on a regular basis, medication could not be working again with lower doses.
As I said, I dont want this to be understood as a moral reprimend of any kind... but watch out, with that doses of caffeine or ritalin said by Hyperagitate the most common thing to happen would be death. In fact i dont know how you even survived, i went to the hospital once with much more less caffeine than him, (600mg) and i dont wanna try methylphenidate over 54 mg.
The only thing that could happen to you if you go over that ammount on a regular basis is your ADHD to turn MUCH harder to treat, or even turn impossible to treat at safe dosage, not to mention you could go on a psichotic trip, that could even lead to schizophrenia, or even trigger mood disorders that could last your lifetime.

Dont be worried to treat your ADHD with safe well docummented dosages, such as you, Psych, are taking, talk to your physician if you have any concern, specially related to tolerance, medicine working worse, mood changes, personality changes.... but do not self medicate, or rise your dosage above 70mg of vyvanse, or even more without talking to your doctor. You could have serious non-comfortable issues at all, you could be damaged for a lifetime.
Do not forget these are stimulants normaly 2 times strongers than coke, noticed that relationship in this matter by coke abusers them selves, there several studies about this on the net, serious studies in fact. Ritalin could not be distinguish from coke, do not play with your health

[Trimethylxantine]

ritalin bends to dopamine reuptake proteines 78%, while cocaine bends sin signifficantly less amount. Sorry i cant track the quote, but I remember itvery clearly.
Same could be said about Dexamph, being more powerfull than mixed amph salts.
keep your treatment under control, for your safety, and the safety of your loved ones.
Live a happy and productive life, best regards, Trime.

That's the max dosage for vyvanse, so I definitely wouldn't go up on it. It sounds like you're depressed. Are you taking vyvanse for depression or ADD? If you're not on an anti-depressant, that might be something to bring up with your doctor.

My ongoing battle with Adderall has absolutely destroyed my life and changed me forever. 4 years ago I faked ADHD symptoms to get a perscription for Adderall to help me get through school while working full time and literally before I could even begin to worry about the possibility of addition or side effects it was too late and I was and still am 4 years later 100% physically dependent on this drug and now diagnosed with major depressive disorder, anxiety, panic attack disorder, manic depression, bipolar depression & OCD. If I dont take my adderall in the morning I am literally on bed rest and incapable of accomplishing anything at all-even showering!!! And I just binge on junk food in bed all day-its disgusting! But when I do take it I have to force myself to eat, constantly cotton mouthed, wide awake wired till 3am every single night just reading and reading about my mental health disorders. Adderall used to make me feel peppy, motivated, productive, energetic, social, outgoing and really just overall "on top of the world." In order to achieve anything remotely close to that same "high" I now have to take 3X my prescribed dosage of 30mg so 90 total which is above the "safe" prescribed amount so of course I resort to buying my friend's extras for hella expensive. I literally cant sit still without feeling "useless and unproductive" I panic about time going by too fast every day and not getting enough done because I lose track of time cleaning and organizing the tiniest details over and over that don't even matter! Adderall has consumed my being and ruined my life! My boyfriend hates how I am on adderall. I overthink EVERYTHING, he can't even stand to go grocery shopping with me because I'm so cracked out that I feel the need to check every single shelf of every single aisle and buy a million things I don't need and just blow off the actual neccessities. I pick my cuticles til they bleed-it keeps me up all night! I have these new random phobias like closing my eyes in the shower, going anywhere alone, driving anywhere. Im constantly paranoid im being followed. My pupils are constantly dilated and I am physically unable to keep my hands and fingers still. The dark circles under my eyes are impossible to cover. I honestly feel like a full blown tweaker!!! I HATE adderall! I hate what it does to me! And yet I can't stop taking it every morning!!! I feel so hopeless. I never thought I'd be an "addict" just the word freaks me out. Im also in denial because I honestly believe that there's no way I could ever function without this drug. I truly believe that I need it. I have an extremely addictive personality that runs in my family and it has gotten the best of me. Not only am I miserable now but Im terrified of what it's doing to my body longterm. I know what I have to do, I just can't do it.
