Studying Distress and Amphetamines

I happened to have an exam the next morning which I had read the book at least 10 times and I did not seem to get the concepts. It was 8pm, I was very frustrated, not focused at all and since I had spend the last hour crying (for someone) I was completely devastated and hopeless. I was exhausted and I thought I was never going to cover the material required for my exam, I was just planning to go to sleep and forget about the exam.

As my frustration increased I found in my drawers an amphetamine pill, so I decided to take half of it, this was my first experience in using something other than caffeine to study . So I sat on my chair and opened the book and started reading, I have taken amphetamines in raves before so I know it takes about 30 min to kick in.

After 30 minutes my sadness disappeared, my head was completely focused and I started writing notes and I felt like I was slowly understanding the book and all the material I had read prior to taking the pill, my concentration was unbelievable and I felt good and no longer tired nor sad. (I have to add as well that I usually find it extremely hard to concentrate and to focus on one thing at a time, I am not taking any medication for this either by the way). I finished 2 chapters in 1 hour, my head was feeling right and so my attitude towards everything, I was feeling confident that I could work and finish studying by 12, therefore I set my goal to finish studying by 12:30 so I could have a fresh 8 hour sleep.

After 3 hours my eyes started hurting a bit and I started getting rushing thoughts in my head again like I usually do, my focus was going away little by little, I didn't feel bad at the mental level but at the physical level, my head was starting to feel heavy. By 12:30 I finished my studying and I decided to go to bed, I have to confess that I found it a bit hard to fall asleep right away but I eventually did, I kept waking up throughout the night but I don't think it really affected my sleep quality.

Next morning I woke up, I had black circles and my eyes looked as if I haven't had any sleep however I felt good, I took a caffeine pill, a shower and left for my exam. I don't know if it's possible but I still felt a bit high but confident in a good way throughout the exam. I didn't have any problems remembering the material I studied the previous night.

I definitely think I drank more water than usual, went to the bathroom very often and smoked cigarettes than usual however I did not experience any hunger (even if I hadn't eaten anything since 5pm). It was a great experience as it boosted my confidence and my concentration levels in a moment of distress, also I got to see the difference in using amphetamines outside of a rave.
