[insideout]

ok first, a confession.... ive been manic for like weeks.
i have found it so exhaustive that i started taking sudafed sometimes,,,, im not physically exhauseted but i just cant concentrate on one thing. i take it cuz im trying to wear myself out.... like since im already manic, i have this idea that going even FASTER will quench it, like mania is a type of mental thirst for more and more of everything.
well, point of this post is: the sudafed makes me calm, like a wierd psychotic, cold, calculating calm. people start to look at me scared and i look in the mirror and my eyeballs are wide open and i look sorta homocidal, i feel like i can read minds and i feel like i have more powers and abilities.... sudafed and mania... the implications
any comments would probably prove interest provoking.

Hi ya...well I would maybe not take it it sounds like you are umm having some psychotic breaks and may be getting a little paranoid..I did that once on 8 hits of speed years ago...You really need to kick it into low gear...do you have like something that will help you sleep? Ativan, AP'S ...Ambein.....Visteral...Though you may not want to it really would be best to just crash on something to bring ya down...not sad down

Pseudoephedrine can have very high affinity for dopamine receptors. Depends on your genes, really, just which receptors get hit, and how hard.

You may not like this advice, but I suggest that you make an emergency appointment with a doctor or psychiatrist who knows you well. The idea that you are already exhausted, and you're stretching (even enhancing) your mania, implies to me that you have a fairly substantial crash coming your way. And the word "soon" comes to mind.

There's nothing at all wrong with planning for it. Putting cushions out where you think you might fall, to soften the blow.
