So on sunday I used a concerta to pull an all nighter with the intention of doing a project for school. I did the project, but none of my other work, and ended up playing videogames for most of the night. So I stayed up monday night, also with the help of my concerta to maintain consciousness and the ritalin to get spikes of energy. Things started to get wierd around 2:15am, when I typed a good portion of an essay, which I had thought took me around half an hour, but when I looked at the time in the corner of the computer screen, it had only been 7 minutes. I thought the clock might have been wrong, but I checked it against my phone and the other clocks on the floor. I looked at the seconds going up on my digital clock, and every second seemed to take five.

At school I was not even trying to work really fast, but my friends told me that all of my movements were really fast and I finished work in half the time of some of the other students. Everythnig just seemed to be moving too slowly.

Is the time dilation more likely caused by the meds or the 60+ sleepless hours? Tonight things are even more interesting, not quite hallucenating, but with perceptions of movement that are not there in my peripheral vision.

Who woulda thunk it? Who woulda knew? Stims make the time just fly right by! WoooHooo

that's what I'm trying to say though. It's doing the OPPOSITE of that. Making every second seem to take longer to pass. My whole perception of time is still kinda messed up.


On another note, my peripheral vision is beginning to become somewhat distorted. Sorta trippy.

The visual distortions are definitely a product of the sleep deprivation. The distorted perception of time is likely a bit of both.

wait until the paranoia, anxiety, and delusions start.

Yeah you may just want to cut your adventure short before the drug induced psychosis sets in. It is not something that is fun or something you want to experience.

Quit abusing your meds kid,take them as directed, and goto bed.

Holy crap, 60+ hours on more than one stimulant and still going fast without already seeing strange smoke-like energy floating around with a jell-o style of movements and realistic movements in peripheral vision and seriously powerful delusions and incoherent rants?
Sound's like you have a psyche of steel.
I was up for a mere 40 hours on mdpv with very mild valerian supplementation to smooth out the neurotic explosions and I pretty much launched myself into a state described in my question... a state which temporarily allowed me to understand my random, incoherent friend on MSN.

see, about taking them as directed... The concerta are left over from when I took them daily and stopped, and my doctor said that since they do make my schoolwork improve and keep me focused, he'd give me a script of ritalin to use when I needed it. Sounds crazy, but its true. When I take it regularly, it makes me into a zombie after a week, and I hate it. Every so often it makes a nice treat.

I tried to go to sleep last night, and when I closed my eyes I got some mild closed eye visuals (just patterns). Looking across my room, things that had distinct outlines (like my door frame) had another outline that looked like a drop shadow a few inches to the left. I couldn't fall asleep at all, because at that point I no longer felt like I needed it (and any stims were out of my system by then). It was about 3, and I figured since I was sorta tripping out, I might as well make it interesting and listened through a Tool album (Lateralus). I zoned out entirely, and likely lost consciousness for a while, because I blinked at it went from 4am to 6am, right before my alarm clock went off.

As of this moment I am still awake. I felt like crap today at school after my morning coffee and nodoz wore off, and really was dragging around 2:00. Sitting in math class I felt like I really needed to sleep for a LONG time, but maintained by trying to focus on calculus and by talking to my friends. Oddly enough, I was able to do derivitives better in my head in this state of mind than I normally can on paper. Still, I fully planned on going home and going to sleep, but I no longer felt that bad. I did most of my homework, ate dinner, and checked on this thread.

I still have the wierd outlines on the edges of things, and things I am not focusing directly on seem to move in relation to the object I am focusing on. I definately agree that this little adventure needs to end before it really starts to become harmful to my health. What really surprises me though, is that I am quite coherant. My reflexes suck, and I wouldn't trust myself to drive a car, but otherwise I'm handling this really well.
