So I've got to drive tomorrow after 2.5 days no sleep

I also know I'm not going to be getting any sleep tonight as I've been doing Tina the past cple days. I could save enough of a hit or 2 to probably give me the energy to make the drive safely. However, I CAN NOT, and I mean CAN NOT have dilated pupils when I reach my folks house. Let's say there's some ex-tina addicts that would spot it immediately and it wouldn't be healthy for them to see that. So is it possible to take a hit, maybe 2? And not have anyone notice that you're high? It's a 4 hr drive. If I take a hit of tina at the start of the drive and at the 2 hr mark(halfway), Do you think I would look straight by the time I get there? I've been up enough days now that this seems the only way I can even drive awake. So if there's even a small chance someone is going to notice it, I will have to refrain and somehow keep myself awake as I know I'm sure as hell not going to be sleeping tonight.

-Another thought; If I go with this plan and my pupils look too big, I can save a 1mg kpin if a downer would counter the large pupils and bring them down to a semi-normal level?

This is prob bad advice, but in the situations when i simply couldnt call in sick and had to go somewhere, taking more of the drug to do so was the only solution. I drove 8 hours to the coast once on coke to keep awake as I cannot do it normally, i get to tired and zoned out.

It worked ok for a while, but from hour 4 it started being worse then not doing it as the benefits wear off and we had to little and id never do that again, its to stressful, you get to paranoid on stims driving, besides any reduction in driving ability or danger.

The general opinion however will be to never do drugs and drive, but if its life or death and you have to, whats better driving on a comedown or no sleep for days, or on a stimulant? Its a tough one. Id just put off the drive for another day, nothing is worth the risk is it? Parental visit? Hell put that shit off for the next day, make up some excuse.

I would never drive after that state, id be way to anxious, paranoid. Having that waiting for you the next day is going to get your all anxious and worked up and you wont sleep and stress about it. Just call in sick.

Hell i get anxious about driving 10 mins down the road in that state, stims to help or not. Falling asleep would be the biggest risk though.
 
They say when one loses a nights sleep they are impaired equivalent as one drink.. I believe it. After being up all night from Adderall, I would feel messed up, highish, sluggish, bit euphoric when I dive into my day in public, music sounds better, it's weird..
 
Im actually about to hit the road in 8 hrs and it sucks knowing i wont get sleep even if i try because im on a little tina binge, But I haven't really done much tina in the past 10 hrs, I do have the opportunity to take some hits, but would it even be possible to get yourself in sleep mode within 8 hrs of dose(a single hit)? my guess is I would need a benzo. I know it may sound stupid but I feel like I can't go to sleep for a little bit anyways.. Also does anyone know a reasonably obtainable med that can keep you awake for driving, but like u guys said with the stim it's kind of a weird experience. I think just keeping it basic and a lot of caffeine? A friend suggested a good idea to me earlier saying to just take a 30 minute sleep break a few of those when u need it. Delay you shortly if you absolutely had to.
 
I wish I can help you but I don't know what Tina is, we must live in different regions, guessing a stim? If it's been 2.5 days sleep deprived another hit, esp. One hit won't do anything except delay ur crash , u will fall asleep eventually and I suggest do not dare drive in your condition. I almost got killed in a car accident high on crack. I crossed a busy road, speed limit 50mph, under the influence of two Adderall, I took my afternoon dose with morning, it impaired my judgement, popular belief I would of been more alert,but i was more nervous jittery perhaps and resistant, and almost got buried last month, walked away with every bone broke in my leg and broken hips thank god..please don't drive
 
If ur already sleep deprived feeling tired, and haven't done any in 10hrs,don't be stupid and get tweaked or more hypertensive and put more strain on ur body, this thing. Can turn ugly. Sorry for bump. I'm 2 days sleep deprived from crystal, been waiting for my do talked friend to run to wal mart to grab a sub from my friend with my LAST addy to get a hit of crystal, of on ours he never showed made a bullshit excuse and out of Stims, hating myself and life now
 
Hey Bman :)

This is not what you want to hear and I'm pretty sure it won't change a thing... but the situation you're describing sounds like an accident waiting to happen, literally.

Sleep deprivation, stim binge, and a long drive are a shocking combination. The size of your pupils shouldn't be of much concern compared to the risk you're going to take. Why would there be ex-meth addicts hanging around at your parents' place waiting to rat on you?

I don't know the full circumstances of course, so I can't say much to help. This is more of a general statement for anyone reading, because I'm surprised that no one has mentioned it yet: driving when you've been awake for days using meth and can't stay awake for the length of the journey without more meth is dangerous for the driver and for other people on the road.

Did you say you had 1mg of Klonopin? Perhaps you should be thinking about using that and trying to get some sleep and then making the trip when you're in a clearer state of mind.
 
well I didn't really take any crystal(tina) luckily, but as I imagined, I'm unable to go to sleep anyways. But I guess I will just be battling sleep loss and not other stuff on top. And as far as getting into why I would get caught so easily, I have an ex-meth addict in my family, which will be in presence of where im going. Not only getting caught but the devastation that would have on this person if they knew(even tho my use is "under control" and not often). So atleast I won't look high, just sleepy probably. Unfortunately people often mistake that for drugged out but eh what can you do?

This.

Don't put other lives at risk because of your recklessness - things like this give all drug users a bad name.

Either bail out entirely, or pop that kpin, get some sleep and drive down later. Don't be stupid and risk killing someone else just because you can't organise yourself properly.
 
You may be suffering symptoms of early stages of amphetamine induced psychosis, probably exaggerated mostly by sleep deprivation. Sleep dep. is no joke speaking from experience when I was in jail, I was having auditory hallucinations through the COs Wally talkies even if there were none. I heard the FEDs raiding my house for a long complicated list of things I did, which caused this, and caused that and got all these charges from burglary to murder. , I thought the raid gave my dad a heart attack and he died and they charged me with murder, I visually saw CO
s with axes chopping body parts off of other inmates and saw blood. I thought they put me in a refrigerator cell because I was extremely cold to the point I was shivering in extreme pain, thought I was going to be torturted at the hospital when they noticed I went coo coo, thought I overheard doctors discussing crushing my vertebrae and dropping me on my head and crushing it, symmetrically cutting my body in half withs razor.whether Xanax WD played a role with it too, it was horrid and it was a reality I had no control over, it was my reality. If they hadn't of put me in the prison psych ward, I probably would of committed suicide painlessly as possible to avoid the horrible planned deaths for me. Oh sleep deprivation may have u thinking ur car has special gas that allows it to hover over water a few inches, and end up drowning,just an example. Do your own life a favor, sleep take vitamins drink fluids, eat, abstain from speed for awhile. I myself am on day 2 no sleep, last time I smoked meth and did a line was 12hrs ago,
 
Well I lucked out once again, there was super bad weather where I was going so it got called off. However, I do have a question. Since most my experience is with addys/vyvanse and not meth, my friend(who is also kinda new to it) seems to think you can avoid a crash if you don't over do it. I told him if he's doing enough to get high, he's wrong because what comes up most come down or atleast that's what I always thought. Plus, i don't know how i would gauge the exact amnt to enjoy it and still not have a crash if that were even possible. I told him he's probably just not as prone to the crash or maybe hes smoking weed and isnt crashing that hard. With addys, I had crash even from the lowest dose it was just less intense. I got decent sleep last night, like 7-8 hrs i think. I don't want to follow up with another 5 day binge but these couple of hits are sitting here staring me in the face. It would be nice to have a little fun, probly stay up all night ofcorse(i will anyways), and there's not enough to do another big binge, which i wouldnt want to do. The other option is to throw it out, but that's just pointless advice cause no one that enjoys drugs is going to toss them. Or maybe you will and then you end up thinking about how you can go reaquire it lol.

edit- When smoking this stuff out of a bulb, I'm guessing i want the crystally clear/white looking stuff. But there's some darker stuff around the bulb too like in the center. I think some of that is just a burnt pile but some will actually cook so should I just smoke that too regardless of color? or do I need to cook it down some more and maybe it will turn into the whiter/crystally shit that I'm seeing on the edges? LOL im such a novice. but atleast I got blue light go from a novice to an expert in no time.

You know, I'm actually glad to hear that. I had a very ominous feeling from your first post. So now you have a chance to make sure you're not in the same predicament when the meet up with your folks is scheduled.

I was at a friend's place a few years back when another dude I hadn't met before came in. He was really subdued and seemed extremely withdrawn. I didn't say much to him because he looked so fragile. He also had quite recent-looking stiches running in a four inch horizontal line across his forehead and two black eyes.

Later my buddy explained that his friend who I had thought was someone with serious mental issues was in fact still in a state of shock. Post Traumatic Stress syndrome. Just a week or so earlier he and a friend were driving home in the evening when they were hit head on by a car that had just veered into their lane suddenly.

My friend's friend came out with head injuries, but the passenger was killed. The driver of the other car survived and it was revealed later that he had nodded off at the wheel for a few seconds and had tested positive to a number of drugs.

Now, this was a friend of a friend who I didn't know at all, but I'll never forget how he looked. Devastated. Absolutely lost in grief. The devastation that comes from traffic accidents is really something intense. You would never, ever want to be responsible in an accident like that.
 
yea I know it can be scary driving and putting people in danger. I feel like I drive pretty good high if I'm not too high, and depending on the drug obviously. But as far as staying awake I've been in situations where I had no choice but to drive and I was just slapping the fuck out of myself every 10 seconds. sounds extreme but extreme cases call for extreme measures.
