Ok so im on zyprexa 5mg a night and pristiq 50mg every morning. Haven't been on meds long but they are helping.
My question is if i stopped them for a week, would this be long enough to safely use meth?
I think pristiq is more of the issue here, not sure how zyprexa would interact with meth, but it would seem it wouldn't be bad to use when trying to sleep. Thanks.
 
So you are on an anti-psychotic and anti-depressant and you want to stop taking both of these for a week so you can indulge in methamphetamine? Do you not see what is wrong with this picture? I think you should stick to your prescribed meds and not stop taking them especially for a week just so you can use meth, which is known to cause psychosis...
 
Im bipolar type 2, so my doctor thinks. Ive nevered suffered from psychosis and only plan on using for 1 night. I just need to know whether or not 1 week is enough time for the medication to be cleared from my body.
 
I have to agree with Mass, that seems like a really bad idea. Either you need these meds or you don't. Since you said they were helping, I would not reccommend stoping them just to do meth. Not to mention going off meds like that suddenly is always a bad idea.
 
Please don't use methamphetamine. It's a horrible drug and will only leave you feeling down/depressed or tired and hungry (you'd be lucky to just be tired and hungry like I was after the stint I ran on it).
 
The snri im on has a half life of 11 hours. Works primarily on serotonin by recycling it as far as i know. After stopping use how long before my serotonin goes back to normal? Im probably going to do this either way, you're only making me paranoid. I plan to taper not stop suddenly.
My main concern is serotonin syndrome or any other side effects caused by the snri.

So, you're not depressed, and you're taking SSRI's because you're happy?

Please enlighten me.
 
I really doubt you would get serotonin syndrome off just meth and an SNRI. Especially because meth works primarily on dopamine. Your concern should be the noradreline that the medication works on. You will have an increased chance of seizure mixing meth and the medication. If you are gonna do it anyway, stay off the SNRI for a good 3 days at least.

Methamphetamine actually works on serotonin; this is what makes it so much more euphoric than regular amphetamine.
 
Well i know it has serotonin release as well, but it's primary neurotransmitter it releases is dopamine. That is from what i have read numerous times. Either way he should wait till his med leaves his body before indulging.

Yea even if it's effect on serotonin is small, I still would leave days in between for sake of HR.

I agree with mass though, you should not stop taking your meds. How long EXACTLY have you been on the SNRI ? It's not smart to abruptly stop taking anti depressants.

Who said im not? I haven't been happy for a long time. Some days im so lethargic i can't work properly. Even when im up im not happy, just irritable and full of energy.
Ive been on pristiq almost 2 weeks, so its no big deal. The event is 4 weeks away though.

And doing methamphetamine, even once, is going to cause you some INCREDIBLE lows after you comedown. Not worth it. At all.

You will literally be backtracking from any help your meds have provided.

5 steps forward, 15 steps backwards.
 
People here want to help. They're asking you to think about the consequences of your intended actions. Can you appreciate that?
 
I see you edited your post. Regardless of being on pristiq for only 2 weeks, I can't stress enough what I already said.

SINGLE use of methamphetamine is going to bring you down lower than ever before once you come down off of it. It is NOT for someone who has depression IMO, nor is it very effective at treating it. You don't seem to want to listen to what anyone's saying in this thread, so why bother even asking if you've already made up your mind ?

This is exactly why you shouldn't be using methamphetamine. You don't want to get addicted to it. You also don't want to go through the comedown, it's pretty gnarly and will exacerbate what you're already experiencing.

Just my 2 cents.

Thank you, it's true and very few people realize this going into meth use.
 
I do appreciate your concern and ill take it under consideration. I know i shouldn't, i'd rather not, but i feel like i have to if im going clubbing. Sad i know. I also have experience with meth and know what im getting into. still im not sure yet. I hope i won't have to.
 
I agree with captain, stay on your meds and instead of going for the easy route (meth) , why not try a natural high like exercising 4-5 days out of the week?
 
As with everyone else here, I can tell you meth is not something you even want to consider. That shit is not the ride you want to be on.
 
And finally now to actually answer the OP's actual question in some way... If you have not tried meth (or have) OP dont do it.

If your going to anyway...
My research has shown its ok and i personally take meth every weekend along with a strong dose of my daily paxil without issues which also comes with a strong inhibition of an enzyme related to phara metabolism which other SSRI's dont have i think. Not sure about other SSRI's though with meth, just my experience.

I understand it will reduce the Serotonin effects but i dont seem to notice this or at least the meth is still epic, but I wouldn't know how it would be without SSRI's.
\
Also you seem to have an anti psychotic as well. I take Seroquel at night and meth still works if i take it the following evening. Obviously it wont do shit all if you take with the Zyperxa, i think if it works like Seroquel.

Additionally your in luck since you can alleviate the comedown by taking your Zyperxa before the final dose wears off and the comedown begins to kill the meth and fall unconscious into a peaceful sleep. If this is a good or healthy is debatable, i dont make any claims in that regard.

This is what i do and not a recommendation for you. Please do the proper research and confirm my comments first.
