Hi not really sure how all this works but basically looking to see if anyone has any advice on the effects of mephedrone and how to get off it, i keep hoping will power will be enough but finding its clearly not going to happen.....
 
Well the "magic" of empathogenic drugs disappears eventually so maybe one day you'll just say fuck it
 
Can you share a little more information? Country, age, other drugs used, frequency of use, previous treatment attempts, how long you used, willingness, support or lack of support etc etc etc?
 
Started a few months ago, just the odd weekend, then every weekend and gradually to every day, before was coccaine and didn't realise I was having mephedrone the first time, was in a bad place mentally and found this filled the void. I'm 29 and weigh 7.4 stone, the weight keeps dropping off me but I still can't stop, I've lost friends over it and soon family, don't no what to do!

I have NO IDEA what 7.4 stone means in lbs.
 
Anyone had a similar problem, wish I'd never touched this stuff, was told it wasn't addictive and I'm not that naive I believed that but didn't think things could get so out of controll so quick.
 
I'd suggest talking to a doctor, therapist or go to an NA/AA meeting.... best if you do all three. Sounds like you need to stop using this stuff immediately. If you cannot do so, its okay. I never was able to stop using until I got help.

First step is admitting that you have an addiction, seems like you are there. How far are you willing to go? How much pain are you going to put up with to continue to use? Are you will to take a break from all substances? At least for a certain time?
 
I no that I need to and I no I have a problem it seems to help hearing strangers say I do too, this has all happened in the space of a few of months. I split from my partner and got with a guy I've known for years, I would only do it occasionally and we're not even together but he uses alot, one day he gave me some to take home and now I buy it. It's not just giving up the drug, which I no is stupid, I called a helpline and the guy was really rude to me, made me feel even more pathetic, I can't get this stuff out of my head and I'm scared to tell a doctor? I went 2 weeks without any then the guy gets in contact again and I'm back to square one, it's back to nearly every day and once I start I loose controll and keep going, more and more

I would first say toss what you have and lose your contacts for it. Then go find an NA meeting and participate. It can really help.

Also, you need to go to a doctor about your weight loss. Are you a male or female and how tall are you? Stimulant use can really mess with your body and seeking the advice of a nutritionist and shrink would benefit you I think. Firstly, so you can get back to a healthy weight. And the second so you can tell a totally confidential source why you got hooked.

Psych, Nutrition, and NA. Ibet if you went to 24 meetings in 30 days youd come back and be on the right path.

Good luck

Edit: Don't be scared to see a doctor. Most of them are really good compassionate people. Every doctor I've been honest with and I didn't try to milk for drugs has been amazing to me. The first time I was honest about my heroin addiction I fully expected to be tossed out on my ass... Instead we spent nearly 40 minutes talking about it and he referred me to a great psych who works in addiction medicine. Go seek medical help and get to some meetings!

Edit 2: If you can, tell your family you need help. If the relationship is strong there they can be your rock until you get to see a Dr and have some sober time. However, if it'll make it worse then don't confide in them about your drug problem. You need to get away from the people who facilitate your use. Drop those people out of your life COMPLETELY. That's a really, REALLY good place to start the process.

I no what your saying is right but I cant just throw it away, I feel like I need it and i'm telling myself after this last bit thats it, monday I shall call the doctors. My family knows but I dont think they no how to handle it, they haven't really spoken about it and think i've stopped. I'm female and 5foot 4. I'm scared people will notice the weight loss and put 2 and 2 together, its just another thing I dislike about myself. Thank you for your reply I feel better about trying to talk to a doctor, had visions of them just locking me up, I didnt think things were that bad until this forum although even the people I do it with have said slow down but it just kinda takes over, thanks
