Has anyone ever developed delusions, hallucinations or paranoia during treatment with Ritalin, Adderal, Dexedrine etc.

Yes, with all of those you mentioned used recreationally plus cocaine. However, the one time I used methamphetamine the effects were euphoric. The *first* time I used cocaine was also euphoric. The Adderall caused about equal paranoia as the bad times with cocaine. My dopamine system is definately out of whack. Remember, AP's are my mainstay.

I found that 80 mg of any amphetamine or ritalin is enough to make almost anyone paranoid. However in lower doses of 10-20 mg they do not in normal people.
Amphetamine psychosis is a bizarre thing. No matter how well your window is covered by blinds, you are convinced that the police are looking in at you. It is really an antisocial condition because you canīt really be around other people when you are acting this way since you tend to be very fidgety & so you canīt go out in public so you end up in your room by yourself up for 3 days straight snorting amphetamines & peeking out the window.3 Beer Effect

What about people who are not abusing and taking low dosages? And the paranoia being greater after the low dose (5-10mg Adderall) has worn off, like late at night? Any ideas or opinions?
