Although I’m trying to quit shooting meth I’ve been wondering about this because my very rapidly increasing use of meth coincided with being put on higher (20 mg) dose of Abilify.
When I first started (IV) I would receive a euphoric 6 hour high that usually involved high horniness and extreme mental alterness from a one point shot. I had little desire or need to redose quickly,
My pattern of usage was 24 hours on followed by 2-3 days break which I maintained for a few months with a one month break due to intermational travel. I would redose once in 24 hours at this time. Sometimes I would use seroquel to sleep and reduce comedown effects.
After about 3 months of this pattern I had ceased using seroquel and was taking Abilify and catapres every night and my shots had grown to 2+ points and I no longer experienced euphoria but still got super horny. I was also redosing every 4-6 hours and using a gram each time I used. Most importantly, the rush and cough were still there but it simply felt like a wave of heat across my body and brain. I felt ‘normal’ within an hour of a shot - usually less. At this point I was also able to sleep lightly 6 hours after my last shot. My comedowns were noticeably mild - low level depression and high level of laziness and just wanting to stay in bed for a day.
Meth remained enjoyable but only about 20 % as enjoyable as peak goodness when I first started. I wondered whether euphoria might still be there at a 3 point shot or higher but I was mostly too scared to go there so can’t say.
So even though everybody is unique my question here is whether the rapid loss of euphoria and the shortening of the time I was energised (methergised?) was more likely the meds which I began at the same time or just fast increase in tolerance?
Also this heat flush rush - is that common with either meds or with tolerance?
Finally, Is the sleepiness a sign of ‘over-amping’ in general and A sign I’d just had too much?
I neither want to quit my meds or save up my dopamine to have another shot in a month to test where the answer might be....I mainly want to stay off meth but am curious about how meds & tolerance interact.
