Stimulant dysphoria

Posted by jerryTRD on July 25, 2010, at 16:04:50

I had a horrible night last night and it's all because I took Adderall (generic) IR 20mg during the day. First of all when I took my normal dose I felt very uneasy, dysphoric, muscle stiffness, mind racing - not the normal boost in motivation and concentration I'm used to - and I've been on Adderall for 5 years. Then it just seemed to get worse at night when you'd think it would have worn off by then (I took my last dose around 3pm). My mind was racing I had hot and cold flashes, nervousness, I couldn't stop my tongue from moving around my mouth - I almost when to the ER I was so incredibly uncomfortable. I felt like maybe I was having some sort of toxic reaction? But I took some Seroquel and it "erased" everything and I was able to sleep.

So, I can't figure out why this is happening. Like I said I've been on it for 5 years. My other meds are Effexor XR, Klonopin, Ambien, Seroquel. I did take a 4 month hiatus from the Adderall - could that be it? I also noticed I got a different generic form from my pharmacy - not the kind I've been taking for the past 5 years. Could that be it? I'm in the dark. Adderall helps me a lot but now I'm afraid to take it.

thanks
Jerry
