cracked out

Jittery from stimulants

Cracked out describes someone who appears wired, frantic, or unhinged—as if under the influence of crack cocaine.

The term extends beyond actual drug use to describe anyone acting hyperactive, sleep-deprived, or generally unhinged: I pulled an all-nighter and showed up to class looking completely cracked out.

Sometimes shortened to cracked.
