The anxiogenic and focusing effects of stimulants increase the chance of unpleasant thought loops, in addition to the possible negative side effects of coming down from said stimulant while on a psychedelic. In extreme cases, stimulants, especially in combination can result in severe vasoconstriction, tachycardia, hypertension, and heart failure. (open to this sentence getting adjusted)
I'm struggling to find sources to show that stimulants cause/raise anxiety. I also would appreciate if someone could read through all of this before this being pushed to the database. I feel relatively confident when it comes to the caution but uncertain that the sources demonstrate this.
