Adderall Psychosis, Bipolar Misdiagnosis & Vraylar 

I relate so much to this. I was on adderall for 18 years. Been off of it for almost a year and I am so much happier without it.

I was misdiagnosed with ADHD about 20 years ago and later found out I was bipolar. The high I got from the adhd meds were amazing at first. Towards the end of my use I was addicted to the drugs, erratic and could barely function at work. Two years ago I ended up in a psych ward and was correctly diagnosed with bipolar. The mood stabilizer has changed my life for the better. I do worry about the long term consequences. I’m able to read again and I think I have normal concentration. After 20 years I at times feel like I wasted so much time. I’m just hoping the future continues to be better.

This is a stark contrast to my experience, glad you made this! I am misdiagnosed with schizophrenia, given rispiradone for many years, developed all the worst extrapyramidal Symptoms, and severe Akathisia I am still fighting with 16 years later. They still want to give me Vrylar, after all this! Anything I say or do is just seen as more psychosis. Akathisia is terrible. I have never experienced a high from methylphenidate, and was taken off of it because they said, "this medications shouldn't do that", because methylphenidate lowered my heart rate, blood pressure, reduced anxiety and intrusive thoughts, and improved my quality of sleep (I was sleeping 16-22 hrs a day). Unbelievable that they still want to push antipsychotics on me.

Congrats!! Thank you so much for sharing you’re story. I’m in the throes of withdrawal right now. Yoga, running and laughing is what’s helping me but I’m definitely still at a rock bottom for sure. You’re story is helping me so much ❤️ These drugs are meant to make us robotic soulless slaves - There is a very evil energy in them. Thank you so much for your courage, sister!!

Omg… now I know what happened to me as well!! Wow.. words can not ever express how I feel right now. Such relief. But honestly, listening to you and hearing your story, I see and hear my very own self. All I can say right now, is WOW. WOW.. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Wow. K. In Massachusetts

So happy for you . I have bipolar and on Adderall. Fortunately,my meds all work well together and I haven’t had addiction or psychosis to them . Although I did from high cholesterol meds called STATINS PLEASE BE AWARE .

I can relate to paranoid delusions and hearing voices only mine was due to benzo abuse.. It was the most terrifying experience of my life. I now appreciate the greatest gift of all, the natural mind

Thank you so much for your kindness and sharing your experience! I have ADHD + Bipolar Disorder and my psychiatrist is about to proscribe me an Adderall. I guess abusing it it's not ok. However, there is good use of Adderall if there's ADHD. Anyways thank you so much!

I weigh 145 lbs and started taking one 30mg xr once a day. I started to abuse it because I liked how good it made me feel. Unfortunately, I developed a tolerance quickly. Now im taking three 30mg xr's a day, and it's getting out of control. At least once a week, I stay up for 24 hrs because I can't sleep. At one point, i was up for 3 days and started seeing people and animals that weren't really there. I need the medication to function at work because of my non hyperactive adhd but I also don't wanna continue down this road. My boss and coworkers are giving me praise because of how well I'm performing at work, but at what cost? Adderall is the best and worst thing that's happened to me.

I’ve been off my adderal for about 4 days now. I’ve been on a regular 30mg a day for 5 years. Once I built a tolerance to the the med I started taking my 30mg pill along with a half so 15 more mgs once the early evening came along. I resigned from my job at the hospital I was working at and lost my insurance so I just can’t afford the therapy or the meds anymore. But aside from that, I just started to seriously consider what was going to happen in the future if I had to keep taking more and more when my tolerance continued to build up. I made the decision to just come off and go back to natural. But the side effects from withdrawal are painfully real to me. I have a constant battle in my head, I have low self esteem and I try to not put myself in social situations because of the dreadful anxiety I feel. I’m unmotivated and I know all things like this take time to adjust to but I know I’m in for a long road of misery. On a lighter note, I’m glad that I came across your video while I’m going through this. It’s just the beginning and the pointers you give are exactly what I needed to hear. I don’t want to have a heart attack in my early 30’s and I actually do want to have an appetite like a normal person again. Thank you for this, dear. I needed to see this today. ❤🙏🏻

You’re a lifesaver!!!

I have both and I'm sure my Psychiatrist has it right because I get paranoid dilusions without the ADHD meds too. The other meds treat the bipolar well. Everyone is different. Thank you for sharing your story!

This is SO interesting!. so important to be properly diagnosed it seems so tricky sometimes. my brother has had very severe schizophrenia for the past 25 years since I was a child. Its been rough. I cant tell if i have adhd or bipolar or neither just extremely bad anxiety. Not on any medications because Im too nervous LOL.

Great video! I can relate to your videos and think you are doing so well! :) Thank you for sharing your story, it is nice to know I'm not alone.

Thank you angel❤

I’m watching your video and tearing up and I feel like I’m tripping a little bit because you are telling my exact story. 🤭

Thank you for sharing. I’m on the adderall train right now and have paranoia and doing to much. I have to have spinal fusion soon as well so I am really upset with myself.

So sorry! I'm the person who should have had your dx and rx. It works great for me, because I actually have these issues. I can't imagine on being on these things when you don't have to. You are awesome!

A doctor put me on adderall because he said I “looked like add walking thru the door” I said I have bipolar my other doctors said I couldn’t take a stimulant or I’d go crazy” well, this doc assured me I was “immune to schizophrenia” and wouldn’t go crazy. Well, six weeks in on 60 mg a day never abusing it I hit psychosis when I was on a flight to Zurich. I believed I was microchipped. There’s a lot more to the story but the point is the addy did this. I went against my gut accepting that doctors adderall.

Went throught the same thing. From Detroit as well.

I just found your channel. I wish you would start making videos again.

I take Vraylar with Vyvanse and Adderall and the stimulants still work well for me! I only take 1.5 mg of Vraylar so maybe it is because it is a lower dose.

I'm going thru hell right now. Getting off adderall , experiencing panic attacks everyday at night, cant sleep, anxiety crisis, meltdowns, im so scared!!! Will this ever pass? How long does it take? Did you stop taking it cold turkey or tapping it off?

I am bipolar type 1 and your story sounds like a classic case of bipolar to me. I want to ask: What does your psychiatrist think about your adderall theory? Does he/she agree or not?

My brother is going through this psychosis thing on Adderall now. He thinks everyone is following him, hundreds of people everywhere are in on it. He thinks it could be military or ex military. He also thinks his neighbors are sending some kind of signals through his walls to torment him. By the way, he just moved to another apartment because he thought his old neighbors were doing this now it's the new ones across town. He is so convinced that this is happening he would go to random hotels and he would think the maid in the middle of the night was letting people in the room next door to torment him. He has had major problems with addiction in the past. Now I'm trying to convince him to get off the Adderall at least for a month. I'm hoping when all this paranoia and psychosis goes away he'll realize it is the Adderall and won't get back on it. He has a really good job so I don't want to get him committed if this can be resolved another way. Any help with anything else I could do is appreciated.

What were your visual hallucinations?

Is it possible that the dose you were taking was too high. Also, were you taking it on an empty stomach? I'm not saying adderall could've ever worked for you, but I'm curious if you were taking it in the safest way possible.

Hi rose I've been off of adderall for 5 months. Have a few questions for you.

It’s essentially prescription meth.

What dose of Adderall were you on?

At least it took you a month before you started taking more than prescribed … it took me an hour 😂 You are beautiful and I know your life is good because you are honest and transparent. You are helping me with this post. So thank you. I’ve been off and on for almost 2 years. It is a vicious cycle! I decided to try my sons pills (he was 16 at the time) not even knowing what an amphetamine was, not lying! (Unfortunately I know everything about the drug now 😈) As soon as that pill hit me, my first time, I said to self “holy shit, where am I going to get my hands on these!” I said it just like that. Eventually I found a crooked doc to give me whatever I want so really not good 🤦‍♀️ Right now I’ve been up for 2 days. Last night I fessed up to hubby AGAIN. Waiting for him to wake up so we can throw away the remaining pills. (I’ve done this like 5 times now.) But not before I take a couple more 🤥 My hubby can’t believe how strong they are. And I can take like 8 in a day. Sick sick sick but getting better better better 🙏

Do you have the slow COMT met/Met genotype?Adderall is poison for people with slow COMT

I got it real bad from meth. Vraylar is starting to help I think.

Can we talk about this? Same story

i got adderal psychosis too twice... wasnt sure the first time so as a result i relapsed... tried to taper off but then had another episode. was misdiagnosed with bipolar too. doctors are such idiots imo.. the doctor wasnt smart enough to ask if i used adderal or drugs... could have saved me a lot of time... now im just having to cope and never EVER take adderal again.

I hope your still doing good!! Your in my prayers! Jesus loves you!! Never forget that… Great video btw!:)

How about that pharmaceutical industry!!? And the sheep that prescribed the poison ☠️

Still have a lot of the video left to finished but help me understand really quick please you're telling me that you went to a hospital and emergency hospital at that for mental health , probably protocol was mandatory and you had to talk to a crisis ....but all of that aside ...the Dr is the key....one doesn't get diagnosed with something from anyone other than a doctor and being labeled is being labeled isn't anything at all medically professionally scientifically speaking I mean.. Possibly just reading too much into it and everything is semantics right now but I didn't want to forget to try and find out what actually literally happened at the hospital and how you got bipolar because if not the ghost then but diagnosed then is there more specific you could be about how bipolar even came into the picture?

I’ve been misdiagnosed by arm chair pathologists that I’m an evil narcissist when in reality I was just a young dumbass and 20 years later I’m being treated like I’m still twenty. Grow up I did.

Speed kills.

That vraylar has a shit ton of side effects

Adderall increases dopamine. Vraylar decreases dopamine. The problem is that if you’re abusing Adderall and you weren’t truly ADD or ADHD, it will cause those psychotic symptoms you were experiencing

Be careful with benzos! The more you use it and the longer you use it, the worse your panic attacks will get.

hellllo!

This is not a fight with flesh and blood

Same meds and same effects … are u on any meds now ?

I was misdiagnosed....dumb Dr's!!!

Zoloft did to me what Adderall did to you.. Horrible .

You got an OF ?

I'm glad it works for you, unfortunantly my doctor stuck me on this I tried to explain that I felt wierd and was doing abnormal things. I wound up cheating on my babies father and ruined my life.
