Mephedrone Addiction

[Dan Gargan]

so u reckon the b6 vitamins are a good idea?

 

[Bella Figura]

It couldn't hurt, very much doubt it'd give you serotonin syndrome.

 

[Dan Gargan]

thanks man going to give it a go just read up on dopamine that's definately what i lack lol

After that... all it really does for me is give me a small lift and keep me awake.

Then why bother?

^Kind of the definition of addiction I guess, redosing even when it doesn't really have much of an effect, constantly chasing that first buzz.

Dan Gargan: Healthy eating and exercise cure pretty much anything, abstain from drugs and you will be back to normal before you know it

I'm not sure i'd class Stashes behaviour as addiction though.

Mephedrone its more like a fiending/lack of self control problem than addiction for me, but thats not to say the thought doesn't get stuck in your head. I've never taken it everyday for any prolonged period. Its a strange one, I've gone through phases of fairly good self control with it and then phases of binging.

Thats basically been me as of late I am by no means saying this is all down to mephedrone.

Prob best to give the drugs a long break mate. Get yourself physically fit, eat properly, stay off the booze (because we all know what will power is like when pissed ) and things should start looking up.

 

[captain codshit]

Yeah cheers thats what I have been doing. Try to remain quite social aswell without putting myself in situations where drugs are infront of me. Also been reading books more and looking into some new things to try out hobby wise.

One thing I will say tho is seriously think twice about hammering this stuff. I know me saying that means fuck all really but so many incidents around here as of late with mates and myself fucking up, flipping out or spending the night in A&E after taking it.

Sorry to hear that mate. Have often read your posts and as you say in the thread you have always appeared very upbeat and life and soul of the party. The only experience I can call on is when I was in my early twenties I was doing pills most Fridays and every Saturday without fail. Coupled with this I was probably doing Gram and Half of Charlie a week (not loads I know but it all goes in the mix).

Like you I was always up for a party and never seemed to be down. But after about 2years of this excessive behaviour I started feeling very down. It was if I could almost feel my brain trying to squeeze out any remnants of Serotonin but the well was dry.

I drastically cut back on my behaviour and slowly but surely I began to feel myself again. Now bear in mind this is without meph in the mix (which i have never had) and Im in the fear camp when it comes to that shit. It just doesnt seem right (based on no scientific evidence whatsoever) but it just seems nasty to me.

Im just in my forties now so no doubt if it was about then I would of tried it. My two pence worth is to pack the meph in and just treat yourself every now and then to some lovely MDMA. Plenty of excercise and Fruit. Eventually you will start to feel better.

What goes up has got to come down and i think its just your brain telling you at the moment that you have been taking the piss a bit.

Good Luck

Good effort.

You kick the fuck out of anything, and bad things will happen.

Captain Codshit there is a very old Greek and Latin saying which sadly when translated does for me is not the same-> νούς υγιής εν σώματι υγιεί or mens sana in corpore sano translated --> a healthy mind in a healthy body.

Read your other thread. Give it a long long long break. Think your body caught up with your positive spirit and things balanced out in a negative way. Eat healthy, get outdoors, exercise etc... Balance thing out again, but it will take time.

Not just B6. Try getting a vitamin B complex with a range of B-Vitamins. Also omega 3 oils. All brain food

Then why bother?

Interesting question with a seemingly stupid answer. I tend to session right into late Sunday night / Monday morning (my mates who session as hard as me are unemployed!!). I then take very small amounts of meph so that I don't crash in work. Mon night will go through a few g's, Tuesday in work - again small amounts to keep me from crashing.... and so on.

I'm not sure i'd class Stashes behaviour as addiction though.

Probably not. Haven't taken any since last Thursday and I've no compulsion to take any now. Mugabe coined it perfectly when he compared it to pringles - Once you pop you can't stop.

That's it with me as well. I'm grand at staying off it for a few weeks but once I start I go on a mad one for a few days with increasingly negative results.

It's the same with all drugs. You smoke copious amounts of weed every day for 4 years you'll end up pretty fucked up by the end. Take it in moderation, and it's grand.

Worst effect from Meph I'm having is tiredness. I have circles under my eyes since last week, and 12 hour sleeps each night doesn't seem to be getting rid of them! Definitely staying away from the Meph for a good while this time. Hopefully these after effects might give me a bit of a kick up the hole to have some self-control next time. 8)

 

[captain codshit]

Yeah your totally right about the sleep thing. After a binge I can come home and fall asleep at 4pm-7pm then wake up for an hour, eat dinner, and go straight back to sleep. I've had weeks where I've been unable to do anything at night mon-thurs because I'm constantly sleeping!

The best way for me used to be just buy a g. But now so many people locally selling it I'd need to encase my phone in concrete some nights. I don't know what other drugs you usually do, but I was always a bit of a fiend with coke too. I think if your like that to begin with it might be best to try and avoid alot of the fiendish RC's. I even found after being fiendish with the meph it seemed to make me like that with pills/MDMA.

Good luck with the self control!

 

[captain codshit]

Both The Quad and Ghostface69, cheers for the replies guys. Agree with what you've both said. I'm going to try have as long a break as I can manage. Bit annoying as my bday isn't far off but its not worth ruining myself any further. Have been eating healthy and doing lots of exercise aswell. After the A&E incident I'm really going to try and not take any meph again.

I don't think it's that hard to give up at all. It's not physically addictive and when tolerance builds up you get very little out of it. I used to cain it when I bought in bulk (once did something like 20 g + in a week - in fact I've probably had even more severe binges) but now I just order it as and when I want it. Isolate yourself from mephedrone and take a break. When you need more, you physically have to order it online in a fully conscious state. While you are on meph, yes it is the most addictive thing ever, but once you sleep and comedown its not so attractive. Snap out of it...I've just given up regular benzo and gbl use which makes my previous mephedrone 'addiction' a joke really.

That said, I still do it pretty much every weekend but that's something I choose to do. Think I'm going to have a break though. Although it doesn't have a massive comedown, I notice a fairly low mood until about wednesday, which isn't worth it. I probably do roughly 5-8g's every Friday > Saturday night.

detox

Strange as it may sound, I think a stint in a detox unit has to be the answer. If I were in your situation I would go to the most understanding GP I knew, got him to read up on the situation, and get a referral as inpatient. You should get 6 weeks there, and surely some sort of benzo coul.d help if professionally administered for the first week or so. Do it. I felt compelled to write on this forum; hope I'm not talking rubbish

TBH, all it sounds like you need is a bit more will power! Sounds stupid, but all you need to do is just knock the session on the head at (for example) 6am on the Sunday morning. I know it's easier said than done, but better to miss out on a few hours of bullshit random conversation than fuck your whole life up? And let's face it, the best part of the session is waaaaay before Sunday night!

The thing is if you've been doing it the night before/day of your brain is going to have its decision making tools WAY out of sync... It might be better to try and make a serious appointment with someone who doesn't do it in advance, so you know you've got someone to force you to think "I HAVE to stop taking this now"

True, but that's what will power is all about. Even in the midst of the most epic sessions you get moments of clarity!
