Is It Normal to Still Be Delusional/hallucinating After a Few Months Clean From a Bad Speed Addiction?
Question by hudspah: Is it normal to still be delusional/hallucinating after a few months clean from a bad speed addiction?
*I had been abusing Adderall XR (up to 8 30mg pills a day) for 1 year and taking the Adderall XR normally for 1 year (1 30mg pill) preceding this.
*I am aware that this sort of abuse is illegal. I sought medical help (ironically, after the delusions/hallucinations got to the point where I heard voices telling me to kill people I loved) and am no longer taking the medication, let alone abusing it. And though it does not excuse my behavior, when I was addicted, I obtained the Adderall LEGALLY (That is to say, it was prescribed to me. I still lied to the Dr. about having ADHD, so the technical legality is debatable.) I mention these things to make clear that I do not wish to violate this site’s Terms of Service or to be banned as a result of doing so. If I have done so, please feel free to delete this question.
*I do not know whether it is relevant or not, but I have been taking St. John’s Wort (an over-the-counter herbal supplement) for depression ever since getting sober.
*In rehab, my physician told me the paranoid psychosis would go away after a week or so. This hasn’t been the case. It’s not as bad as before, but it has yet to completely go away.
*I have no pre-existing condition, such as schizophrenia. I had never had an episode until I began abusing speed.
*I was also wondering if there’s anything I can do to alleviate these episodes. The voices/sounds make sleeping a near impossibility.
*Thanks in advance.
