What happened when I took too much Adderall? I had a lot of trial and error with my doctors when it came to Adderall and at a time they had me on too much and this is what it was like.
What happens when you take too much adderall can you take too much adderall even when you’re prescribed adderall yeah you can here’s what happens if you’re new to the channel hit the like and subscribe button taking more than your dose of adderall or any kind of stimulant drugs especially for adhd there are drugs out there such as adderall that you can take too
Much of my dosage for this is 10 milligrams in the morning right around 738 and then another 10 milligrams right around 12 12 30. can you take too much of this absolutely you can and what happens when you do for me i get extremely hyper focused i’m not a doctor counselor i’ve been on adderall since my late late teens originally i was on ritalin but it dropped
Me too quick and i got onto adderall it’s funny how our brains work especially when we self-medicate because there was periods of time that i would get off of my meds and i would self-medicate self-medicated through cocaine i self-medicated through alcohol stuff to help slow down my brain because i feel that a lot of addicts out there especially even our adhd i
Mean we can’t stop this thought process and we’re just trying to calm the thoughts well when you take too much adderall for me i get hyper focused it almost gets me to a point that i’m high the reason i know this is no not because you didn’t wanted to find it would have felt like no because i went through trial and error with my doctors and at one point they
Did have me on 60 milligrams of adderall a day to see if it changed anything up i’ve been on doses as low as 10 milligrams a day and as high as 60 a day at 60 a day i could complete one task that’s how hyper focused i got when you’re hyper focused we don’t talk about a lot but you literally put on full-on blinders and you are after this one task and you become
Almost obsessed with it and there is almost a high to it your heart rate does at a certain point start to really pick up a lot of stimulants will calm us down we’ll allow our thoughts to kind of focus end but if you overdo it it’s almost overly focused and everything around becomes blurry except for that one object and that is all we focus on and we lose track
Of time we lose track of eating i mean that’s where a lot of the side effects can really really kick in i feel or at least that i felt personally is if i ignored what some of the side effects were and i was taking too much what i noticed when i was taking 60 a day that’s 30 and 30. that is three times the dose that i’m on now i was missing all my meals extreme
Dry mouth i was peeing a lot forgetting to drink so i was getting dehydrated um getting extremely moody because well when i was getting extremely moody was because well this had me not eating and i would complete like one task and then i had no concept of time or dates because all i cared about was this one thing i was working on and a lot of times it was just
One small project so in my depression my anxiety like went through the roof because i wasn’t completing anything the day was getting done and then i felt more like a failure that the project even that i did wasn’t to my standard or where i wanted it to be or what i had envisioned and it made me overly frustrated this is one of the struggles that happens if you
Take too much of this especially your adhd you get hyper focused i mean it’s very different if you’re not adhd man this stuff is going to rock you like any kind of stimulant drug will meth cocaine stuff like that i mean it will shock your system you’re going to feel your heart rate you’re going to get the sweat you’re going to be shaking like a mother when i get
Hyper focused i don’t shake in fact it’s all mental and i am zoomed in when you’re taking this you got to let your doctors know and that’s part of trial and error is actually documenting your days and how is this drug making me feel am i hyper focused or am i actually functioning as an adult am i completing a to-do list have i made it through everything i needed
To for the day one of the biggest though is is that eating affects our attitude affects our mood i still set alarms even to make sure that i eat i need to make sure that i put into my system three meals a day and sometimes it’s a small meal it might be some almonds and some beef jerky just trying to get something into my stomach and forcing myself to eat because
If i don’t i’m not burning anything all i’m going to do is end up getting angry and then i’m starving and then i overeat and then i’m mad at myself and then all of a sudden i’m overly focused on something else and that’s how my thought process works our thought process are different for everybody but when it comes to trial and error make sure that you tell the
Doctors exactly how it makes you feel i mean that’s how i ended up settling on 10 and 10 is at 10 milligrams this allowed me to be functional i remember to eat i completed multiple tasks in a day and i became very very good at time management so it allowed me to really flourish in life and not be that over fixated on just one thing and everything gets tossed
Aside so trial and error i mean it’s more dangerous than what people talk about it being i mean people will just blow it off and be like yeah it’s trial and error sounds easy you know what i can tell you this too when i’m trial and erroring and i’m not on meds my life is a nightmare i mean i’m fighting for my life my trial and error is dangerous and that’s why
Open communication with your doctor and like everyone around you is so important because it is dangerous it’s very very dangerous if you’re trying something and somebody tells you just to get on wellbutrin i’ve tried wellbutrin all by myself with just that in my system and no adderall and guess what it’s not the same for me and that’s where we’re all different
And it’s hearing other people’s experiences and what other people have been through to try and find those right dosages for you finding the right meds for you and it’s not easy anyone going through it my heart goes out to you but i can tell you this don’t flip over and go to recreational drugs in a sense because you don’t know what any of that stuff’s mixed
With let’s face it i mean coke is mixed a lot of times with meth it’s cheaper it splits it up a lot of heroin out there is mixed with fentanyl pressed pills out there i mean if you’re taking adderall get prescription adderall don’t go buy it from somebody because all you need to do is jump onto amazon get a pill press and you can tell people whatever you want
That pill to be and people don’t know any better and then it’s in a pill form so it has to be legit no no i mean drug dealers are not chemists you got to remember that so when you’re going get your stuff get it prescribed and work it through with your doctor and if you don’t trust your doctor and you don’t have good communication with your doctor find a different
One there’s nothing wrong with firing your doctor there’s a lot of bad therapists out there there’s a lot of bad doctors out there but there’s a lot of good ones too and you know it’s about finding the right one finding the one that’s right for you and once you do man life becomes so much easier it’s been so much easier for me to stay away from alcohol stay away
From cocaine because i don’t have the draw to it there’s nothing that i’m self-medicating for and i get done with the day and i’m like hey i had a productive day i had a successful day i’m happy with today and it decreases my anxiety it decreases my depression and i’m not craving more that was the hard thing with alcohol and with cocaine is i always wanted more
I wanted more i wanted more i was so afraid of losing that high that feeling that i had that i craved more and more and more but my brain works very structured that no 10 milligrams and 10 milligrams i don’t have that urge when it comes to adderall that’s why it sucks when you know you’re prescribed something like adderall and people are like oh you’re just taking
Legalized meth it’s amphetamine salts yes it does have a lot of the similar characteristics it’s not meth in fact method if you look it up it actually is prescribed to some people with adhd again it’s trial and error and it’s not the method you go cook in a bathtub and that’s the hard part about is there’s so much pill shaming there’s so much shaming when it comes
Around this even when it comes around being a recovering alcoholic and cocaine addicts people look at me and tell me i’m not sober because i am on adderall well last time i was off adderall i tried to kill myself so i’d rather not die and take the meds that helped me function as an adult than to listen to what other people say a lot of times when you’re on meds
You’re gonna have to put on some blinders and you’re not gonna have to listen to some people and you’re gonna have to find the right support system because there are those that will bring you down and tell you what you’re doing is wrong but again they’re not a doctor they’re not you so do you and be you you know once you find it once you get it down life becomes
Beautiful again and don’t ever get this that you matter you’re stronger than the words that other people say other people will try and bring you down and don’t let them because you matter you you matter so do you be you and those haters
