Amphetamine Worry

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
Hey guys !

I've never been a big speed taker, just a few lines here and there. Then tonight a mate at work offered me some (it's been about a year since I last touched the stuff), and aside from the conventional pleasant physical effects, it also made me reflexive, worried, tense and slightly low in mood.

I had about five lines, was at work during the whole time, and was a bit tired anyway.

Since speed's never had this adverse effect on me before, I wanted to know if I felt that way because of the circumstances (being at work, feeling tired) or if the drug normally has that effect.

Any input appreciated !

    speed can make people anxious and paranoid - especially on the come down

    being at work full of the stuff can't help can it.

    I've noticed that from bad/poor quality speed. I'm not sure why, but more so than with high quality. I get nervous and anxious like crazy. As said before, if it's the comedown of the drug, you're experiencing a normal comedown. Don't worry about it. Take a 5-HTP supplement and wait a bit.

    Take a 5-HTP supplement.

    Fuck that...just ride the buzz out.

    Being in an enjoyable environment and having an enjoyable buzz is directly correlated. It's a psychological thing more than anything. Taking speed in work is a stupid idea IMHO.

    I get paranoid and anxious with low dosages of any stimulant - so it sounds to me that it was shite speed. Enough to have an effect, not enough to get you properly going.

    I've never noticed that before, I've actually found some of my best buzzes were in bad enviroments. but i guess that's how brain chemistry works.
    If his "buzz" is this bad, his comedown will be even worse i'd expect - a 5-htp might be helpful, plus they are good to have around anyways.
