Quote from: fuckingACE on November 23, 2012, 01:16 amAfter 3 to 5 days no sleep you will start to suffer from sleep deprivation psychosis aka stimulant or amphetamine psychosis... which will get progressively worse, your *clear* moments will get less and less frequent and last for less time.. with all the fun that goes with it. Delusions of grandeur, paranoid delusions etc... If in real life you would kill someone who you honestly believed was about to kill you then you have a good chance of trying to kill someone whilst you are on a psychotic break.. When you can't separate the imaginary from the real bad bad things can happen.. Sleep is important, a person suffering from sleep deprivation psychosis is dangerous...I call bullshit. I've never had a psychotic break, and I've been tweaking for almost 10 years. I once stayed awake for 8 days on a combination of stimulants (including meth), and I didn't have a psychotic break. Believe me, I was fucked beyond belief (continuous repetitive movements -- the compulsive thing taken to a level I've never known before or since), but I was sane and not at all dangerous.I hear and see people talk about how dangerous and unpredictable and fucking psychotic tweakers are, and I just don't see it. Not in myself or anyone on SR. I happen to be the only tweaker in this entire city though (I swear, I think I am -- I've even gone looking for company sometimes...), so I can't claim to be *that* good an authority. It still isn't nearly as likely as you make it sound though. Schizophrenics don't get locked up anymore unless they're specifically considered dangerous. Most aren't. They're just fucking crazy and see blue birds talking to them. That Satan sent to inform them of the imminent defeat of the angel race at the hands of the new hellfire weapon whose name shall not be spoken. And naturally, since only they can understand the blue bird, only they can stop this terrible calamity. To the bat mobile...!!... yes, it's really that bad for a lot of schizophrenics. Yet they still don't stab people very often. Sure, some do, and some people on meth will tear your head off I have no doubt... but actually *change* a person to be that way, when they aren't to begin with? Nah. I don't really buy it.You might do some crazy, insane sexual stuff that you normally wouldn't though. But nothing you wouldn't do when not on meth -- provided you were 10x hornier than you'd ever been before... still doesn't change you. Just... intensifies you, heh.
