Mephedrone - Experienced - Negative Side Effects

[Mandy's_Method]

I'm new to the site however have been reading posts for a good year. I decided to share the most prominent time that I have taken mephedrone as the more this drug is discussed and talked about the more information can be learned. As you will soon see I acted incredibly recklessly and am not proud of my actions but hope that they can help spread the word about mephedrone's effects.

Bare in mind when reading these that i'm am a large heavy weight when it comes to mandy and mephedrone and need alot to hit me. That said, I want to reinforce the point as much as possible that I cannot condone doing a tenth of what i did.

The experience I will share with you was when staying with a friend I took twelve grams over 3 days. I know i had twelve grams because I had a twelve gram baggy at the start and by the end it was gone. I was with a friend who did a large, but considerably smaller amount of 8g. It got to the point where I did lines over 1.5 g, in fact at the lowest point I did three 800 mg lines in quick succession when trying to fight the comedown.

I really only want to talk about the adverse effects we recieved because I could go on forever about the highs.

To list the negatives:
I slept no more than 5 hours throughout a 120 hour period.
Frequent nose bleeds,
I ate very little to nothing throughout the 3 days,
I had uncontrollable depression, anxiety attacks and panic attacks during the comedown.
My friend suffered severe bruxism to the point that his cheeks swolled up so much I couldn't recognise him.
During the comedown I suffered massive paranoia combined with vivid hallucinations, which resulted in me seeing people who weren't there and thought they were trying to kill me.
Lastly, the incredible guilt you feel for letting yourself do something so stupid.

There are however some important things to note.
The comedown was identical to what would have happened had I did similar quantities of MDMA except I felt less dissassociated and 'grimey'.
During the comedown the only reason I got any sleep was because I had a panic attack (I was getting anxiety attacks and panic attacks at least every 10 minutes, and when I didn't have them I had severe depression) and then because I was hallucinating wildly I thought someone was going to attack me so I stood up to run and "English Dreamed" myself by accident and passed out.
I was too easy to trick myself into thinking I could just do another line and stop in a minute, the drug is incredibly moreish - however i have been doing it a long time and have not experienced symptoms of withdrawel or addiction when taking breaks.
Lastly it is important to note I was alot more clear headed than I would have been on MDMA and it didn't destroy my muscles as much as MDMA would.

Again i'm not proud of this, but I ask you not to judge.

This belongs in Trip Reports. I'll report it and ask for it to be moved there.

Sorry about that.

OD -> TR it is!

Good harm reduction piece. It seems many people, not just you, have major problems controlling their Mephedrone usage. It reminds me most of people's coke fiending actually. People considering trying this should be very careful, especially if you ever have the tendency to redose.

Good post awaring us of the ugly side of this new drug. Thank you for posting. I just recieved my first supply today and I'm trying it as we speak. TR to come.

Did it affect your heart? Palpitations? After a heavy session I had (palpitations) for a week!

 

[leiphos]

This sounds exactly like a cocaine binge. I wonder if the "moreish" quality that you mention has to do with the drug's short duration...

 

[Sykik]

^^ I feel it does from my own personal use.

The peak is really good, but it just drops off sudenly when railed. Bringing on the need to rail more.

 

[naatural]

for me it's even more than just the effect wearing off. as soon as you're over the peak, the desire to take more builds and builds.

to the OP I can't believe you're still alive after doing a 1g line :O

it is dangerous that this drug is so cheap

 

[egor]

^Its dangerous that its available at all...

 

[fastandbulbous]

^ See the ADD thread 'Is mephedrone toxic' for real horror stories about side effects. This stuff is plain dangerous IMO (but I've been saying that for months now & it's only now that people seem to be starting to believe me)

+1
Altough i personally still beleive its completely safe in low doses, the doses you are taking are damaging your health and are extremely toxic, if you continue using it like this you will suffer some major side effects.

I disagree Medievil, one dose was really good fun but left me feeling fairly fucked up for nearly 2 weeks. Ofc everyone is different but my feeling is that this stuff is very VERY toxic.

i found mephedrone packs a nasty little come-down/crash, but not as bad as coke MDMA or speed

yeah really short intense comedown with mad fiending then a very mild comedown until you sleep. then you feel good for about a day until that ephedrine like metabolite is gone and then you feel mopey and burned out.

idf you are doing it multiple times a week in large amounts its possible you are never getting the metabolite out of your system so you are still under its influence and havent felt what things are like without it. due to my previous speed use i seem to enjoy the feelings produced by the metabolite-it feels similar.

i seem to be alucky one in that i've used this to excess for about a year now and havent experienced the terrible side effects but the addiction itself is bad enough.

the big problem is that it is unhealthy and compulsive like coke but unlike coke the high is acctually really satisfying and joyed up rather than irritable, fussy and arrogant (cocaine). if the high wasn't so mentally satisfying i wouldn't be doing it anywhere near as much as i have done.

palpitations/sweating

I tried meph last month and between me, my mate (who had one bomb and didnt like it) and his mrs had just about a gram.

Took advice from here and bombed approx 200mg and then had a v small line.

felt the come up, nothing spectacular. so had a slightly larger line and dropped 2 weak acid.

was drinking beer and then some vodka. had another 4 hits of acid over the next 4 hrs. got pretty good visuals but felt pretty restless.

had some water as i was burning up and we sat out in the garden (this was about 3am in scotland so it was nice and cool.

Went back in, my mate was having a pretty rough trip so had a bigger line of meph and sat with him bring him out of it whilst his mrs stared into space.

another mate came over and gave him a bomb and he seemed to enjoy it, each had another line or so and they left at 10am (they had been there since about 8pm the previous night).

Another mate was coming for lunch so I started to tidy up and noticed my heart was pounding, maybe because i was rushing about vacuuming, doin dishes etc (i had to change my t shirt/shorts twice during the nite due to the sweatiness - i sweat loads normally if clubbing but this was pretty heavy going). I sat down and chilled out and smoked part of a joint which calmed me down and popped a valium.

My mate arrived and commented how red I was. We chilled out, smoked another joint and had a good few beers. I managed to cook a pizza for lunch and actually ate half of it - which wouldve never happened with mdma/speed.

He left about 9pm and i settled down with the dog and watched some tv. Heart rate was still noticable but I took a sleeping pill with a nice cup of hot chocolate and crashed out by about midnight.

Woke up the next day, sheets were soaking (from sweat), nose was a bit clogged up and felt ok. Showered again for the 20th time lol and went shopping.

Felt a bit faint but nothing that a couple of bananas and cold water couldnt help.

Heart felt back to normal and been fine since.

Didnt really feel much of the meph apart from the wide awakeness as the acid kinda overtook it. Visuals were more intense than expected but that might have been the fact i have a low tolerence to drugs - last time i took anything was 10 e's back in april (over the course of 24 hrs).

So meph, dont rate it in the mdma catagory however I think a few small bombs if going out clubbing instead of blowing my cash on coke would definately be the way ahead.

Having a party on friday so going to give my mates a wee bomb each as most of them are seasoned pro's like myself.

But i would be careful taking it, due to the large amount of info on heard about the cardio toxicity.

Might try some other RC's any other suggestions?
