i've been on facebook, and i know people who take stimulants i used to know and they write these long over enthusatic posts, i've realized that amphetamine does this, it increaes the excitation in the brain, making it more enthuastic and concentrated over one or nore subjects.....and i rerember it vary well with me, but now, life is diffrent the euphoria of being hyperfocused and ranting......the nuvigil and coffee are the only now i have to deal with, but also plus the large dose of lamotragine and zyprexa....which is the exact opposte of what i needed 10 years ago....
so as far as this goes, it took me nearly 5 years to learn how to do things without the help of a stimulant.....the doctor that took me off it, ripped me off....i wish i could done something, there's good people, and there's bad people, including doctors.....but so far, its hard to force my brain to do things, i get into diffrent mind states, break off concentration and start something else.....
anyways....those are memories that will be cut off....and i know i will start this ship's propellors soon....

What goes up must go down. Sure its easy to take a handful of amphetamines and go online talking about how 'enthusiastic' you are, but these people come down. Amphetamines do not produce long lasting euphora. You pay for it later.

exactly link...i took Vyvanse high dose and yes i abused it, because it would wear off....and i took another dose, and what happened then it started causing more problems, then switched to dexedrine spansules, it was more tolerable than vyvanse...for at least....but what happens, i used to take in the morning....would wake up, get a boost, start doing things, cleaning, writing over enthusatic posts, and researched things i was intrested in for hours....and then when it wore off, it had this washed out feeling where all the motivation left....got depressed, really....
in a way maybe its good, for my case, the nuvigil i take does work at times, but it does not cause the motivation and livelyness of amphetamine. Of course for a while i did somethings i shouldnt of been doing and used methamphetamine which is more euphoric....causes more activty....feel vary confident....
but yea maybe its the best....still there are times when i wished i need the dextroamphatmine boost for studying....
thanks link...

Yeah.. Dopamine. A love-hate relationship for me.
It used to make me AWESOME, now it just makes me borderline-psychotic.
I wont mess around with it anymore.

it depends on where dopamine is in the brain, dextroamphetamine increases it in the synpase, but if theres deregulation in other parts of the brain, thats what causes psychosis....usally its in high levels, i've had extreme paranoid states, and it was NOT euphoric at all....it was scared to death that people in my neighboor hood where writing down everything i did, and did this to bring a case to throw me into jail....there was a incident that happened and thats why i really just lost it....thinking everyone is out to get me....
but amphetamine can be useful with an antipsychotic for people with things like that....but what im trying to say, there's diffrent dopamine terminals or something, amphtamine release D2, and there D1, D2, D3, D4....ill have to look that up, can't give much detail....but mainly the euphoria i read comes from D2 terminals or something....
thanks for the post

I've never heard of combining an amphetamine with an antipsychotic for psychosis

I had a similar problem. After the oil tank blow up people started to come after me saying that I was the one who did it. Saying that I killed Denis. I was attacked by 4 guys who beat me unconcouse and broke my nose, kicking me on the ground. People who I didn't know were calling me out in crowds. I don't know what I did, because I did nothing! To this day 18 years later I am still paranoid. Not to mention that they almost killed me that night. Also the cops were coming after me, bringing me in for questioning and asking the same questions over and over, I had to get a lawyar to get them off my back. I can't help it anymore I'm paranoid every where I go that something bad is going to happen. Call it anxiety I guess. Plus I lost all my friends at the time who would not talk to me anymore. I don't trust anyone anymore! The only things that help with all this are drugs to calm me and get paranoia out of my head. Without the drugs I literaly can't sleep, I mean for days on end. Then the enraged anger I feel, especialy when I'm off the zyprexa.
Anyways I could go on about this for hours.

yea....thats intresting, sometiems the things that happened cause paranoia....and maybe it gets ingrained into the mind to where it happens over and over, until only medication will make it go away...
yea....when i thought people where litterly following me everywhere i went and wrote what i did, what i bought, it was crazy! because during that time, the same cars would follow me, like some sort of investigation was going on....and eventully i played along, ignored them, if they harassed i would stop the car, or leave where ever i was....see i don't understand how all this stuff happened during paranoia stages...its wierd because i was almost sure they where doing it to either harass me, or write things down and try to get me arrested.....thats what....
