brsingr Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 So... i was diagnosed with ADHD, and my doctor prescribed me 30mg vyvanse. Now, i weigh 200lbs, so i took 60 mg the first time, seeing as 30 wasn't going to do anything. Sure enough, 60 did nothing whatsoever, also. so the yesterday i upped it to 120mg. Still did nothing beneficial, but I ended up staying up all night and i saw some side effects (vyvanse is a time release amphetamine) and around 3 in the morning, i had a hallucination in my peripheral vision, I distinctly saw bigfoot standing by my door, and when i looked directly at him, he disappeared through the door. Of course, having seen bigfoot in my room, i was like "wtf?", but i knew hallucinations were documented as a possible side effect of the drug, so i was like "bleh, i'll just ask my doctor to change it next time i see him. Then, my brain started itching. Being under the skull and all, that really sucked. It's been going on since last night, and i wish i could scratch it, but bleh... it comes and goes. Then today, (i brought it back to 90) as i was walking to my room in the dark house (I keep all the lights off when i'm alone) I saw outlines of men hiding in the shadows, ready to pounce. Again, i knew it was a hallucination, but i was like WTF. There is no point to this story, as I just felt compelled to share. I suppose one could take that as proof that i've yet to receive anything beneficial from this medicine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a-guitarist Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Okay... I'm trying not to flame. Vyvanse is a central nervous system stimulant. Just so you know. Anyways, I was prescribed medication by my doctors for a whole bevy of reasons. I took them. Eight years after starting I get a fun little disorder called Tardive Dyskinesia because I was taken as recommended. Now, these drugs I was on messed with my brain and spinal fluids. I took as prescribed and it still caused serious, long term (indefinite) damage. If that's what happens with knowledge, guess could happen otherwise? Hallucinations blow, so does the brain itch. I deal with both on a regular basis, and I know crappy they are, but man, TAKE WHAT YOU ARE TOLD, not what you feel will work. And no matter how good of an idea it sounds, crushing them and snorting them isn't a good idea. Because what will be absorbed in mouth/stomach/intestines is different then what would be in the brain. You aren't even supposed to be on this pill if you've a history with "recreational drugs", so tell your doctor. Seeings how it's a CNS Stimulant, it's going to be habit forming and that's also why you use the amount you're given. Tweakign out on pills isn't a neat way to meet a lady, cause you look like a damn fool, everyone's seen an OxyHEAD trying to talk to someone. Also, how happy are your parents going to be if they have to explain a two hundred pound dead teenager to the cops? Pills are nasty things to ignore. Ignore directions in Math class, worst that happens there is you fail. Ignore it on a pill bottle and you just might go to the morgue. http://www.drugs.com/sfx/vyvanse-side-effects.html read the SERIOUS ****ING SIDE EFFECTS section, and realize you have to go to the ER and get help right now. post in the morning so we know you're alive, please. a-g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinblades713 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 My family has had a long history of suicidal depression, and so I got to deal with that shi!t in 7th and 8th grade. I hallucinated with it, some of the same things. People in shadows that looked angry, sometimes they were benign things, like manaquins that were always looking at me. People that were crying. It's not a fun situation. Take your proper medication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brsingr Posted January 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I already read the serious side effects thing, I've simply decided to stop until I talk to my doctor next. I think the hallucinations are from the valerian root i am taking as a sleep medication, they cause minor hallucinations, none of the things i've seen were detailed or anything, so i think it's something to do with the reaction between the two. The brain itch is certainly the vyvanse. Oh, I'm not abusing the things, by the way. Also, you can't snort them, I made sure that my doc gave me the add medication with the least potential for abuse, knowing my personality. I have no desire to get hooked on **** like that.

As for mj being useful against ADHD... show me studies of it being helpful, I'll look at them. As it is I've just got anecdotal accounts from individual stoners, who, let's face it, are generally biased in favor of weed being a good thing and therefore the accounts aren't the most reliable... still favorable, but not reliable.

What are those "serious" warnings anyways? Christ, I bet they print those off thousands at a time before putting them on the pamphlets they stupidly stuff in the bags from the Pharmacies. As for minor hallucinations... wrong again. Sasquatch tucking you into bed at night, although pretty groovy (did he do the drum solo?), is not minor. The shadow figures, yeah, those are. I don't think you understand that it's this ****-stupid thinking (well, let's not pull anymore punches, you deserve a permanent helmet from now on, in my opinion) that people will do with drugs that causes doctors to treat people like me like drug addicts or idiots when we need something past a pat on the back and bowl of soup. Christ, because of the list of medication I was on, it took two months for me to get a painkiller. Ended up not working, like I told them, but in the end, I got on the SNRI that I requested. But, when you go in with the history of smacking back a buncha scripts, you blow the mind of the doctor that is trusting you. Christ, I requested Gabapentin and got looked at like I was offering to molest his daughter. Gabapentin... Anyways, desire or not, you'll get hooked... but you have the medical degree, so don't worry about it. Just let me know how many UPCs off your pokemon cards it cost ya. And if you know a Neurological Degree's cost... a-g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brsingr Posted January 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 It wasn't like a detailed sasquatch. It was a vaguely humanoid black shape that disappeared when i looked straight at it, i just said bigfoot for lack of a better word. Called my doctor last night, he said they were from the valerian root, and to use melatonin instead of the root and to move up to 60mg vyvanse and just stay there. Yes, i did tell him about the dose i took. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evangelion Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 See, what your doctor SHOULD have done was call your parents and tell them to bitch slap you. Then he should have told them to ration out the dosage that he INSTRUCTED you to take in the first place. Then he should have told them to take away any and all other substances that you are taking that aren't vital to your survival (food and water, namely), because he didn't design whatever this drug you're on is, and therefore, he can't possibly predict the ramifications of mixing it with Tylenol, much less herbal tinctures and tobacco bong water. Basically, I'm going to lay down the skinny. You're either an idiot or an attention whore. I'm not sure how much I believe of the things you post, but if even 25% of them are true, you really are just plain dumb. That or you don't care about your life, which is approximately the same as being dumb. The only advice I can give you is that you see a psychiatrist and show him these forum postings. Because only then can someone see how truly stupid you have been over the past few years you've been posting here. I would like to request that you stop detailing your misadventures here, because frankly, I'm sick of reading about it. I'm at a university. I live behind not one, but two frat houses. If I want to watch/hear/read about people doing stupid ****, I'll sit in front of the window with a copy of the school newspaper in hand. But basically, I think the only way to sum up my post is that you are in desperate need of attention, and I think this is a terrible way to obtain it. Look at all of the people in this thread alone that have facepalmed, groaned, sighed, and merely become exasperated at your alleged actions. Even A-Guitarist went from sarcastic warnings to sarcastic calling-your-***-out. In short, if you have managed to read this far without deciding you hate me or bursting into tears, please stop lowering the IQ of this population by regaling us with tales of your antics. I think I speak for the vast majority of this group when I say, I just don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f0xx Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Your doctor told you to take 30mg but you felt like it was not going to help so you decided to QUADRIPLE your dose?

mya Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Kids will be kids. Anyway Brsingr, IF i was you, i would stop taking your medication. And stop visiting a psychiatrists.... save yourself the money. If you think you are having Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity problems, join a sport. Something physical. Like competitive swimming, martial arts, box, Body building, you see the pattern. Things that will tire your body and create discipline in your mind. Also stop doing "Drugs", cafe and Nicotine included. Learn to accept that your are a bit different, and stop caring what others think of you. You should also know that diferent "personalities" adapt better to diferent "tasks". You would not put an agressive man babysitting kids, nor would you put a whiny scruffy boy in the Army. If you having sleeping troubles, know that regular sleeping and waking hours resolve half the problems, and that heavy physical activity during the day solves most of the other half.

Kyzarius Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Your doctor told you to take 30mg but you felt like it was not going to help so you decided to QUADRIPLE your dose? And we are talking about serious medicine with extremely serious side effects that can do PERMANENT damages to your nervious system? I am sorry, but are you some kind of an idiot? Jeez, seriously man... ROFL was waiting for someone to say that! man you complete me! when i was a teenager they claimed i had somehting like this because i was energetic and truly bored with the dribble they taught in school, I told them I would not be "moderated by chemicals" and refused to take it. Here I am, living with my "supposed disorder" as a succesful entrepreneur. Imho ADHD in 90% of the cases is an excuse. Its an excuse to take pills to use somehting else as the reason you do not/will not/can not succeed in what you set out to do in life. Its the crutch of the times. The brain is a complicated chemical computer, and you are the ultimate user. It is through will power and self control that we succeed as adults in this world, not through pills and modifications to our hardware. Now I am sure there are many legitimate cases of ADHD, and Depression due to physical imparities in the brain. The problem is that there is no scientific or medical way to definitivly prove this so millions of people have millions of problems that just get throne int he bucket of "prescribed relief" just my opinion, take as you will.
