A description of the experience
Dextroamphetamine, Dexedrine Speed; Dex; Adderall; Dexamphetamine; Vyvanse.
Adderall is a psychostimulant drug “which is known to produce increased wakefulness and focus as well as decreased fatigue and decreased appetite”. It is used for the treatment of ADHD, narcolepsy and ‘exogenous obesity’. The dextroamphetamine salts constitute around 75% of the ADHD drug Adderall. Trade and other names used for dextroamphetamine include d-amphetamine, dexamphetamine, dexamfetamine, and (S)-(+)-amphetamine, with brand names to include Dexedrine and Dextrostat .
It is composed of racemic amphetamine, aspartate monohydrate, racemic amphetamine sulfate, dextroamphetamine saccharide, and dextroamphetamine sulfate.
The Physician's Drug Handbook states that the side effects of an ‘over dose’ of Dextroamphetamine for example are: " tremor, hyperreflexia, confusion, aggressiveness, hallucinations, and panic. Dilated pupils are common with high doses”.
An ‘extreme symptom’ of overdose is ‘amphetamine psychosis’ [their words] characterised by “vivid visual, auditory, and sometimes tactile hallucinations”.
Many of its symptoms are identical to those of long-term sleep deprivation, so it remains unclear whether these are solely the effects of the drug, or due to the long periods of sleep deprivation which are often the result of use of the drugs. It may be helpful to read the section on sleep deprivation to understand the link between the two. These products are often used to help those who deliberately want to deprive themselves of sleep in order to undergo a spiritual experience.
‘Amphetamine psychosis’ as the doctor’s call it , however, is allegedly:
“rare in individuals taking oral amphetamines for medicinal purposes; it is usually seen in cases of prolonged or high-dose intravenous (IV) use”. As you can see, however, it has caused quite a number of involuntary hallucinations so the doctors are not right.
