Mephedrone Addiction

I used to get zaps when I was hammering pills. I knew what they were, as I'd read about them. I used to get them walking down the street, which was a bit alarming. I carried on battering pills regardless, and they never came back and never have, even though pills (MDMA) are non-existent almost, now.

That plus redosing actually works, when it comes to the stage with MDMA after maybe 500-700mg it simply will not. And of course its very cheap in comparison to coke or MDMA crystals.

And yet I still always keep redosing MDMA even though I know it won't do much :\
When I'm high I can't stop myself and convince myself that it will work so just keep on going and going and goooooingg
 
Oh yeah, in relation to brain zaps, I get them all the time. I find they are actually a side effect of anxiety disorder, although I don't get them very intensely just from anxiety. SSRI's and MDMA have been responsible for them in particular. Effexor gave me them big time when I came off it. They don't bother me that much actually, as I know what they are. I find that when I move my eyes from side to side that triggers them and they go off in rapid fire.
 
Kinda like the name implies really, Colt - like electric shocks running through your head. Really no fun at all :|

wiki linki posted in the thread from above said:
"Brain zaps" and sensations

Symptoms described as "brain zaps", "brain shocks," "brain shivers" or "head shocks" are a withdrawal symptom experienced during discontinuation (or reduction of dose) of antidepressant drugs.[6][7] The symptoms are widely variable in description and of unknown etiology;[7] common descriptions include dizziness, electric shock-like sensations, sweating, nausea, insomnia, tremor, confusion, and vertigo.[6][7] The MedDRA "preferred term" for coding these types of symptoms in adverse drug reaction reports (for use in pharmacovigilance databases such as under the Yellow Card Scheme), is paraesthesia.[8][9]

In a 1997 survey, a "sizable minority" of medical professionals were not confidently aware of the existence of antidepressant withdrawal symptoms.[10] A 2005 review of adverse event reporting showed that descriptions of "electric shocks" from patients on paroxetine had been reported more frequently than some other symptoms.[8]

Almost the opposite mate, its like your brain cuts off for a second. Since my large MDMA binge last weekend I've had it a couple of times this week. Not at all pleasant. I think lack of sleep adds to it, because as I was going to sleep on saturday I had a severe feeling zap, almost like it was hard to come out of?! Was quite worrying at the time tbh.
 
Wow I'm glad I've seen this thread. I had these brain zaps once a few months ago after a heavy night on MDMA. It was my third time using it and my first comedown.

I remember lying bed completely stressed out because I just wanted to sleep but every time I started to nod off I got this horrible zap in my brain. It was pretty terrifying at the time, I didn't know what was going on. :(

Not really, Colt. See the list of symptom descriptions above. Brain zaps are pretty painful, "shocking" and unpleasant. Much more so than the jolts you get when you are trying to sleep or G-shocks and the like.

Hmmm... I don't find them painful. In fact I don't even really find them unpleasant, and definitely not shocking now I know what they are. I think some of it must be down to your attitude towards them, because I get them all the time and I'm faily indifferent to them, unless I get them constantly for a while and then they can be a bit annoying.

Thanks guys!
Thanks to everyone else who has posted as well.

Most of the time, I can't wait to be rid of the stuff. Sometimes a cloud of "NOOOOO, life without meph?? I can't cope" will descend. That's normal though, I think (based on attempts to quit smoking).

We'll do our best to keep you updated. Probably will get some "I'm fiending" posts on Friday, then we're going to sleep through the weekend!
 
i wish u the best angel and mugabe.

ive had quite a few addictions in my time (cigs, pot, heroin, meth) and have managed to overcome them all.

I beleive you guys can overcome this.
best of luck and much love.

BL is here for support when u need it.<3
 
You guys shouldn't be dabbling with an RC that hasnt been researched properly. This can be a very dangerous thing.

At least with MDMA we have 30+ years of heavy users to somewhat gauge the drug with. With meph, we barely have anything.

Good luck to you guys experiencing problems with it. i am sure you two will overcome the shit.

As opposed to a RESEARCH CHEMICAL that has been researched properly? *snip*

I'm only aware of maybe one piece of research done so far on meph that's been mentioned here - and that seemed rather bizarre (3.5g injected subcutaneously!?!) so I'm not sure what that was about. Meph is more of an unreasearched chemical than a research chemical. What little research/evidence there is doesn't look too promising but we really only have personal experience and the implications of the chemistry to go on so far. Using such large quantities of virtually any drug - even those with many years of use - would fuck just about anyone over anyway so any possible additional problems that come with meph (ab)use are just that - possible additional problems to what you'd get anyway from heavy stim abuse, I'd think.
