random insomnia - Mental Health Message Board

supersuperninja · 06-29-2004, 10:41 PM

for the last few months I seem to randomly get insomnia that lasts a few days. I become really spacey and i start to mildly hallucinate somewhat. I am on some sort of amphetamine crap for supposed ADD or ADHD i don't even know anymore, but could that stuff be causing it? The hallucinations and some of the spaceyness have sort of recently roamed over to times when I am sleeping better too, any ideas as to what is going on, its driving me nuts

it may well be from the meds ask a pharmacist to look up his list of side effects maybe adjust the meds dose....

some spaciness is normal but lots may be classed as depersonalisation, which can be caysed by anxiety or some meds

It could very well be the amphetamines. Controlled, doc prescribed amphetamines don't magically change into medication that's good for you. They are still speed and neurotoxins. ADD is still a theory-based(no biological tests are given for it) mental illness, and since most people with it have high IQ's, the fact it is an illness at all is debatable!

Maybe you should cut down very, very slowly on them. Be careful, since there could be withdrawals such as fatigue and depression.
