Hard to say: but people with paradoxical reactions to stimulants may have one of the conditions that are specifically treatable with stimulants, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), narcolepsy or a shift disturbance disorder. You need a physician with expertise in sleep disorders to take a full history, perform an appropriate physical examination, and do whatever ancillary tests are needed.

Question 9

lately ive been taking a lot of stimulants. very recently ive noticed i get some chest pain when i breathe in while on these stimulants. even mild stimulants like caffeine make this happen. whats a possible explanation? advice ?

Accepted Answer

Answer + stimulants:  Stimulants can cause that type of reaction. Why are you taking lots of stimulants? Are you using them recreationally?  Your body is giving you feedback that you need to listen to. Obviously, the stimulants are causing you harm.

Question 10

i have epilepsy, i would like to take maca, concerns? 12 years seizure free. i handle stimulants well like caffeine, guarana.

Accepted Answer

Depends: Maca is not a stimulant and there have not been any information about it lowering the seizure threshold. It has an affect on the hypothalamic system and hormonal balance (thus some use it for menopausal symptoms). If you have no endocrine problems (ex: low thyroid) it is probably safe for you and may even help with seizure control due to better sleep quality.
