I know I could google this but I've got to get to 50 somehow so....
It may seem like a silly question, but does anyone have any tips on how to feel less 'speedy' whilst on stims? I can't really find a better word to describe it so hopefully you know what I mean. I took two 5mg dexies of a different brand than I usually have this morning, and after a few hours I wasn't really feeling much so I've just had one more and now I feel good but...I don't know...my head isn't half a lucid as it normally is on dexies and I'm feeling annoyingly jittery and rushed for just 15mg.
Obviously the long-term solution is to stick to the brand I know, but does anyone have any suggestions for now? Normally I would just get on with it but I'm trying to write an essay at the moment and it's not going well at all. Actually it's taken me about 20mins just to write this. I've got some lovely hash that I'm considering, but that probably won't help the essay situation. The only other thing I've got is some xanax but I think that might push me too far in the other direction. So I don't know... I could eat some fruit/have a beer/go for a walk/stroke a cat...would any of these help? Any suggestions would be appreciated. To be honest I'm quite enjoying the feeling and wasting time on the internet, but my common sense forcing me to at least try and write a coherent essay. So here I am.
tldr: I'm looking for ways to feel less 'speedy' on dexedrine, if possible, and we're all trying to reach 50 posts. Hopefully we'll end up with something marginally better than spam :)
-
eat a solid meal even if you aren't that hungrry, and going for a walk sounds like a good idea
-
cheers, done both of them. Just sitting it out now
-
Benzodiazapines, beta-blockers, and/or melatonin.
-
try eating just a fraction of a xanax bar
-
Don't take stims if you do not want to experience the effects of stims. I'm not quite sure how else to put it, to be honest.
-
i usually go with the xanax myself some herb or hash certainly wouldnt hurt either addy does it to me everytime regardless of dose
-
Smoke some weed or drink some alcohol to "take the edge off" so to speak. You could also do another activity while you peak and then write when you come down a bit. Back when I was in university I would take Adderall and go to the gym or go out and skateboard and then I'd have less physical energy but tons of mental focus. Perfect for writing a paper.

beta blockers. i've been meaning to try some.
hopefully someone on SR is vending them?
-
I like the idea of beta blockers, never tried them myself either. I do know the vendor Angelina sells Inderal, and I can vouch for her reliability. I'll have to give them a try sometime, I'm really curious if they decrease the efficacy at all.

All stims stimulate, but the way they feel can be very different. I don't think OP likes the way dexedrine feels.

Thanks. I'll look for it on SR!

I'm starting to think that deviations from an optimal sleep cycle plays an important role in enhancing unwanted anxiety effects. In other words... I started forcing myself to wake up at 5:30 am which, in turn, eventually forced me to fall asleep earlier. And... I've noticed a marked decrease in my adaptability to life in general and also drug experimentation. Just a thought... :)
