Adderall gave me SZ

Does adderall can increase chances of getting you SZ? i took 5 in one day ( ruined my life) and i became SZ and still hearing voices after 2 months. Do not take that thing guys, it’s really bad if you miss use it like i did!

stimulants can trigger psychosis…it’s called stimulant psychosis. Normally though it goes away after the chemical has left your system I think anyway. What dose did you take? How many milligrams?

I’ve become psychotic after an Adderall binge…I guess I could see that triggering long term psychosis…I know the fact of stimulant psychosis it’s self is downplayed or claimed not to exist by some…but I’ve experienced it. Interesting.

Anyway…have you seen a doctor about your psychosis?

Yea i took and opened 5 of them in one day of 40 MG. i was in the hospital for 2 months for intoxication and i wass free of drugs but the halucinations and psychotic related problems continued and they added me as SZ . i guess it became a long term problem over adderal… sad…

yeah adderal was part of the drug cocktail I was taking right before I became psychotic but it was a slow process. It’s taking me about a year and half of being cleanup get back to normal and I’m still not quite there yet.

There is hope man especially if your not a genetic sz. Take this as a time to learn to live right.

Adderall triggered psychosis with my son. Unfortunately he hasn’t been stable since…

My first episode was triggered by Adderall XR. Mussel is right that stimulant psychosis will often fade as the drug leaves your system. Schizophrenia and psychosis in general runs in my family so the illness was brought out and the symptoms won’t be going away for me. But I have medicine and therapy, which are both things that one with our symptoms should stick with. I hope your symptoms fade away, but if they don’t, don’t lose hope; treatment can and will bring you back to where you want to be. Listen to your doctors and such. All the best. :smile:

Psychostimulants/stimulants - even antidepressants (stimulating) can worsen or trigger psychosis in certain vulnerable individuals - Imipramine a tricyclic antidepressant triggered delusions in me or worsened my mania - mixed episodes making me rapid cycle.
I would be extremely cautious when it comes to taking in stimulants - ADHD meds - Narcolepsy drugs - antidepressants etc… Be very careful

dude it caused i or me too, you can still better if you take an antipsychotic quick, im off them for two months now. i was only on 10mg of adderall though so not sure if you can get better or not wihout meds
