I couldn't sleep until 5 AM this morning, so I took 5 mg diazepam.

I just took four dexamphetamine in two hours and I don't feel anything. Maybe I am getting placebos!

That happens to me occasionally.  I think sometimes it's because my stores of dopamine have been depleted; dexamphetamine displaces stored dopamine within the vesicles of neurons and forces it out into the extracellular space, and only some of it gets pumped back into neurons through reuptake transporters and repackaged into vesicles; the rest is degraded into homovanillic acid and needs to be replaced via the conversion of L-tyrosine into L-dopa and then into dopamine.  Once the stores of dopamine are exhausted, dexamphetamine can only squeeze it out of the cells at the rate that it's synthesised.
This is probably what is happening to me. I am thinking of taking a week off from taking them when we have our study week (when there are no lectures or tutorials). I haven't had that much time off taking them in years. I really should have done this in my summer holidays though.

Happy to help, Your Majesty! I take care of the little things so you can run the Empire!  :viking:

I took a 9-day break from it for my EEG at the hospital, but I'm having trouble adjusting back to it now that I'm taking again, and it feels like my brain has been reacting badly to it since I went back on it.
