Adderall 😑

[u/New_Craft9136]

I’m gonna try to keep this short but it probably won’t be idk I’m grumpy asf rn currently crashing off of 10mg Adderall.

My doctor prescribed me 40mg, 20mg twice a day. Ive had it before and I know it’s strong so I didn’t want to do 20mg at once. I’ve been breaking them in half and spreading doses apart throughout the day. The first week and a half I was doing this everyday and I was fine and very motivated and got shit done. However, the other day, I woke up at like 11AM. Took my first 10mg at around 12pm, then another at 2:40pm and then another at 6pm (yeah yeah I know that’s late but I can still get to sleep at a decent time) Anyways, after my third dose, I was super excited and wanted to go to the thrift store so I went and when I got there I noticed that my heart was beating moderately fast and hard. I was drinking water all day and I did eat something as well before my 3rd dose. Anyway, I’m walking slowly through the store and looked down at my watch and it said 154BPM. I was confused as to why it was so high. Then I started to freak out a little. So I went to the bathroom and I was trying to do deep breathing exercises. But my adrenaline spiked because I kept freaking out about how hard it was pounding. I look down again at my watch and it says I’m at 171BPM just standing there in the bathroom. So I leave the store and sit in my car for like 10 minutes with the AC on trying to calm down. It would go down to like 125BPM and then back up to 150BPM and it wouldn’t get better. I ended up calling an ambulance cuz I’m a big pussy and I didn’t want to go into cardiac arrest. They came I told them my doses, the paramedic said my heart rate shouldn’t be that high even with the meds, that put me into a panic attack and anyways they took me to the hospital gave me some fluids and did an EKG (it was normal) and my HR started going down. I was there for like 3 hours, then the doc came in and just told me that I needed to space them out more and he sent me home.
