cin Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) If you overdose on it. Be Prepared. It is 5 AM, and there are about 1,000 sheep wandering in my bedroom. And I am WIDE awake. That's All. Or maybe I'm now Bi-Polar? Edited June 2, 2009 by cin ETA: Or maybe I'm now Bi-Polar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie12345 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 That is why I could never take my mid-day pill passed noon. If I missed my self-imposed cut off, forget it! Hope you manage to get a few Z's at some point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaTanya Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 the wee hours. :grouphug: That, and I felt queasy pretty often. Since I'm trying to lose weight, you'd think I'd be happy a pill made me lose my appetite. That feeling was yucky, however. I guess I should have another chat with the good MD. Hope you're sleeping peacefully right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cin Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 No sleep for me until 3:00 this afternoon. First, McDonald's playdate, then grocery, then gymnastics. Fortunately, this is all within 10 minutes of home. And McDonald's has a good supply of caffeine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Ah yup! I believe the regular (not extended) release has a 6 hour half life. Half gone in 6 hours and half of what's left gone in another six hours so I always figure that I should not take mine if I don't have at least 12 hours of day left. I only take it on days when I have to get something done that takes tons of energy or concentration because it can make me a little cranky especially if I take it a few days in a row. Also, I think that taking any form of amphetamine is disqualifing for a bipolar disagnosis. In other words, a dr. would not dream of dx-ing bipolar if you were taking any amphetamine within the last two weeks. I don't think you have any worries, it just sounds like you took it to late in the day. You will probably sleep good tonight though. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
