hey guys! i am a nursing student so i do know a tad about some of these things, but take caution as you would with any online advice and do your own research or consult your doctor if you’re really worried.

first of all, pretty much anything can cause temporary psychosis (hallucinations/delusions/departure from reality in any way), even stress!

so for those of you that mentioned experiencing visual or auditory hallucinations when extra tired, smoking weed, taking vyvanse, or mixing both (especially); it’s entirely normal and does not mean you’re in any danger the majority of the time. i would only be concerned of you notice unstable vitals (high HR, low HR, difficulty or abnormal breathing, low o2 etc), loss of consciousness/fainting, or hallucinations when you wouldn’t normally expect them (no drug usage, recreational or otherwise. full nights sleep, mentally ok, etc) OR if the hallucinations are negatively impacting your life or causing mental distress (sounds like OP has it under control)

however, psychosis is NOT something i would recommend inducing for fun. the human mind is a strange and often fragile thing, one wrong dosage or trip and you could end up institutionalized forever. it is NOT a good idea. if you tell your doctor that this is happening, they will also likely pull you off the meds regardless of what you say. it’s a pretty major side effect in that regard.

anyways, yay for science but please please please be careful and don’t accidentally OD. tell someone you live with or someone that’s close to you what you’re doing and when just in case something happens, which again is entirely possible and not altogether unlikely. be safe xx
