Stimulants

Does anyone here take stimulants? I get prescribed modafinil but rarely take it. I plan on taking it regularly for college which starts on the 23rd. Just took some to see how I react to it.

I avoid them like the plague. Abused them pre-SZ and don’t think they’d mix well with the illness.

Modafinil made my sinuses swollen

I was addicted to OTC painkillers in university

I love stimulants, especially dopamine reuptake inhibitors (like cocaine and methylphenidate), but I am hospitalised so currently I’m only taking caffeine in the form of coffee and nicotine in the form of Nicorette mouth spray.

Ritalin that is??

Cocaine is supposedly a “helluva drug”

But my abilify blocks it

The first time I did coke it was amazing 🥲

But then after abilify my heart just beats fast

I like psychedelics myself. I suppose they’re all very stimulating too.

Not really. It doesn’t phase me necessarily.But antipsychotics block those too. Ketamine and molly works on my meds

In may 2014 I mixed abilify with shrooms, caffeine and alcohol and my brain practically exploded. Then I started naltrexone it turned it around for me. Not saying it works for everyone. But psychedelics now have a positive impact on me. Albeit very much blocked still. Not probably worth it but still love em :heart:

I’m on naltrexone so I can’t take opiates, alcohol, OR salvia :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: completely blocked those drugs

Weed is one of the most psychedelic drugs for me. I can take it but have to watch the dose

I was prescribed Adderall, because Invega Sustenna was so sedating. It DID help with my energy and focus, but it eventually made me very manic. So, I had to immediately stop taking it.

Now, I just drink coffee. Not as “stimulating” as Adderall, but it does help.

I am incapable of smoking weed.

After I did liquid LSD I became more sensitive to it I think

Me being stupid continued to smoke it in large quantities and gave myself psychosis

Weed played a massive role in triggering my first episode. Wish I had stayed awake from it!

Same with me dude. I had a panic attack right after smoking weed and the next day I started getting paranoid delusions. That was the beginning of my downward spiral

Stimulants are awesome.

Psychostimulants are just straight up scary.

:clown_face:

Thanks! I’m really passed the withdrawal now and no physical symptoms. Glad I wasn’t on methadone though I heard that’s even harder to get off of.
