Reply To: Not sure what is going on!!

Remember, one of the methods many of us have used in the past to wake up our groggy minds is by turning up the anxiety or worry knob to “11”. It’s familiar to us, as is depression, and it’s a little uncomfortable to think about moving beyond this. So that could be part of it.

There’s also the possibility that we’re overstimulating ourselves on top of using the stimulants. Sort of like taking coffee with stimulant meds. It may just be a little too much for us. Anxiety + Stims = Yuk!

The other thing is that we may just be more aware of emotional or mood states while on stimulants. Before, we may not have been fully present to feel these emotional fluxes.

Then of course there’s the fact that the med level might just be a bit high and dosage can be brought down a bit. Or maybe the med dosage is being increased too quickly and you’re getting some negative results. Jumpiness, nervousness, jitteriness usually go away after a couple weeks as do some of the quasi-euphoric feelings.

Just some things to consider.

Hope this helps a bit.
