Has anyone else experienced getting bored or over drugs really fast?

I started out smoking weed. I loved it, and smoked almost everyday. Then one day, only after about a year of starting, I smoked way too much of too strong of weed and the worst panic attack of my life was induced. Since then, every time Ive tried smoking, anxiety attacks are induced. So I stopped smoking.

Then I turned to alcohol. It was the greatest thing ever! Made me the life of the party and lose all inhibitions of meeting people, I was having the time of my life! I kept drinking a couple few times a month for about a year. Then I started to enjoy drinking less, and it came to the point where I hated drinking and it turned me into a pissed off ass clown trying to fight everyone, yelling at my girlfriend and everyone...so I stopped drinking.

Then I turned to ecstasy. The feeling was like nothing I've ever felt before, so much bliss...ego softening...incredible body highs...and again the social factor. I usually waited the right amount of time between rolls, but I guess at times I'd go on binges, doing way too much. After about a year my rolls weren't the same. I've taken year breaks..and I get really good rolls but I don't...LOVE them...have no desire of doing it again...and it's just not worth the comedown and depression that follows anymore, which are now both much worse than ever.

Then I turned to hydrocodone. I felt like I had found "my" drug. I felt so warm and relaxed, nothing bothered me, and I had absolutely no fear socially, but I also felt in complete control of everything I said and did...it made me who I knew I wanted to be and I loved it. It was also impossible for me to get addicted, no matter how much or ftenni did it...no withdrawals or intense urge to take more. My tolerance however, quickly shot through the roof. After about 7 months of using the drug off and on, my tolerance has shot from 10 mg to 60 mg. And just recently, the highs have not been very enjoyable. I just get a little nauseous and tired with an itchy nose. None of this great euphoric feelings mentioned earlier. It's been useless the last 8 or so times I've tried using it.

And here I am now. I don't even know what question I'm trying to ask. Maybe if there is a drug worth trying next, or am I better off just living completely sober? Thats what I'm leaning towards...as I think the only drug I'd actually might enjoy is heroin, and i refuse to try that.

I just want something to make me feel nice and relaxed, and calm in otherwise stressful social situations (meeting new people, talking in front of people..).

Sounds like an opiate to me, but hydro has completely lost it's effect and I refuse to try H. Maybe oxycodone?

Sorry I feel as though I'm just ranting now, but I needed to.
 
if you used the drugs in moderation you probably wouldn't have gotten bored of them so quickly. from what ive gathered you've abused them. once the magic is lost, some things become boring
 
Going to shift this to drug culture, as it isn't really a question about a specific drug. If the mods there feel it isn't right for that forum sorry.

If you are feeling really down about this then maybe it is better suited for the dark side.
 
I've been using opiates for about 5 years now. And I know exactly what you're talking about. For some reason my body doesn't really ever get physically addicted or anything, but I do sometimes crave them like mad. At other times though, I'll use for 5 days in a row or so, and feel so bored of the way I feel and just want to stop it. There was one time when I had done Morphine for about a week straight, and I got so sick of the way I felt that I flushed 60 mg down the toilet and stopped doing opiates for about a week. Then I started to crave it again.

I also know what you're talking about with getting high feeling useless. I was at a period in my life where I was smoking fentanyl about 4 times a day, and this went on for a month straight, no day went by without being high. I ran out of patches, didn't have withdrawals, didn't have terrible cravings or anything. A week or so after that, I did a good amount of hydrocodone. It just made me feel kind of weird, with no sign of euphoria what so ever. I definitely took enough to feel it, too. So I stopped doing any sort of substance for about a month, then came back to hydrocodone, and it felt good again.

If you truly aren't getting physically addicted to hydrocodone, and you really enjoy it and feel like it's "your" drug (trust me, I feel the same way with all opiates) then stop doing it for a month or maybe longer. After that, re-visit it at a low dose, and see how you feel.

EDIT:

In terms of going to a different opiate, you're going to run into the same problem, but since you're currently having this problem with one opiate, the problem will arise REALLY fast. Best way to go is to take a good month or so long break, and see what happens.
 
Sound a bit similar to me yet ive been a user of various substances on and off for nearly 18 years.

I think many people get bored or grow out of drug use if there lifestyle was to take a drastic change. Ive been through heavily smoking weed everday, been a weekend MDMA user, some time LSD/Mushroom tripper and stopped doing all of that without any real pain as i changed my lifestyle because it was'nt the lifestyle i wanted to continue living.....Yet hear i am 4 years later trying my best to stop abusing Benzos/Opiates!

You sound as if you are in control of your use yet you tend to abuse when you find a drug you like.

The drug which i think would make you feel at ease in social situations is benzodiazepines, yet they are probably the worst choice if you like to abuse as IME they lead down a path to ruin.

Jump ship now while you can is the only advice i can offer.

Best of luck ;)

given the above the next logical step is to try a benzo lol. There are many avenues left to explore, like MXE/ketamine, stimulants or benzos. For harm reduction purposes; benzos will steal your soul.

I don't recommend any of this but it sounds like you are just giving up too easily, you weren't raised to be a quitter were you? I'm just kidding, stay sober. For whatever reason some people just don't enjoy being high, if you feel decent enough without drugs I wouldn't screw that up.
 
Thanks for the replies.

I think I'm gonna go with taking a month break from everything, then see if I even have a desire fir anything then.

I am a bit weary of using benzos too, and I have tried Xanax before and it's never worked to well unless mixed with alcohol, but then I'm a little TOO socially comfortable haha.

Also, I haven't abused any drugs too much. I did smoke weed about 5 times a week for several months....and I did have a few months were I've done ecstasy 2-3 times. Other than that, not too much abuse...the most ive used hydro is probably 3 times in a week but probably average once a week. I haven't done it in about 2 weeks actually, and I have no desire to right now because i don't think it'll make me feel how I want to.

Oh and I HAVE gone a month without taking hydro (when I still loved it) hoping to bring my tolerance down from 60mg. So after the break I took 20mg and felt nothing. My next attempt I took 55mg and felt great. No the kind of drop in tolerance I was looking for. /: do you think if I hold out longer than a month my tolerance will go down significantly?

^ and I DO feel pretty decent without drugs...but I feel pretty incredible with hydro. Haha don't tell my girlfriend but I had to go over to her aunts house for her birthday party, and I was the only non family member, and I had not met a majority of her family, including her dad. So I was very nervous, but I took a good dose of hydro and...well...long story short...her family loves me. (:

Everbody is different.

I can leave it 2 months+ and my Opiate tolerance will not drop yet my Benzo tolerance will drop in that time.

Ive been nervous about situations similar to the one that you mentioned and ive took the Benzo route and been fine and got on well with everyone and then gone and drank Alcohol and its all turned horribly wrong and ive ended up being wild and not remembering any of it!

If you feel pretty decent without drugs i would suggest staying that way :)
 
Tolerance to euphoria tends to appear rapidly, compared to tolerance to therapeutic effects

Also, the first few times you do ANY drug... it's probably going to be awesome

My empathy skyrocketed on adderall 20mg xr

Now, I fit the criteria for a psychopath (not psychotic) when I'm under the influence of 80mg Adderall XR

Not only do I have to take way MORE, but I have to MIX it with Clonazepam (or other benzos) to negate the negative effects

Oh yeah, the positive effects diminish with tolerance, the negatives just get worse
 
i agree. drugs are great, but i don't think that in an ideal world, they would be your fave thing to do for the rest of your life. i started recreational drug use relatively late (age 18 ), and for the first few years i LOVED ecstasy, coke, weed, and later meth. got addicted to meth, got off, and watched myself quickly get into unhealthy use of opiates. now, 12 years after my first roll and first use of mushrooms, i find myself still enjoying getting high...but by no means enjoying it as much. i want to live a healthy, full life, and after you've seen the dark side of substance use, it's impossible to forget about it.

that's ok tho-life is about experiences, and learning, and i wouldn't trade the insights drugs have given me, for anything:)
 
I know people here are steering you away from benzos...However, it seems to me you merely have a social anxiety issue. You feel fine without drugs. Great, don't do them. Try taking a run everyday and enjoying an endorphin rush. Get a small, very small supply of Xanax, or Ativan to take before the most challenging social situations. I have taken both the heroin and the benzo route, and the cause of the most trouble for me was heroin, not benzos. I have gone on and off benzos many times. I wean off and I am fine. Suboxone though, I am still on, and have been since 2006. So try that, and then if you must, get high say, on holidays and that is it.
 
Thanks for all the good advice guys. I do (or at least did) love the high of hydro as well of the social aspect of it, but I might just try to stay away from drugs completely for a month or two and then dose some hydro rarely..before extremely nerve racking social situations. I will still drink beer socially on occasion but NEVER for the purpose of getting drunk.

^ & I have tried Xanax a few times before, at doses of 1 and 2 g and didn't feel much of anything without alcohol, so I'm not sure that they work as well for me.
 
Um, there is NO REASON to take 6omg of hydro, switch to oxy. BTW, I didn't see anyone else ask when I browsed though, so I will. Are you doing a cold water extraction? becuase that's AT LEAST 3'000mg tylenol if you are taking hydro 10's, and up to 6'000mg if you are taking hydro 5's. You said you get nauses; The tylenol alone will have you rolling on the floor from that dose.

But as I said, Hydro is useless. I completely skipped hydro and started with Oxy. If you plan on contuing opiates, move up the line, becuase in my opinion, hydrocodone isn't even a "true" opiate. And saying you won't try heroin after abusing every other drug in the book is simply arrogant...Not to mention there is nothing special about heroin that makes it awful in fact I know of at least 3 opiates off hand that are superior to H!

Yes, I do cwe's, but thank you for looking out.

And sorry for being too arrogant to take H. I guess I just dont like the fact that is isn't regulated and I have no idea how much/what I am taking. Also, I know I would love it, and it would be far too dangerous for me to love a drug so much that is so cheap.

And to call hydro not a "true" opiate is arrogant. Especially since you say you have never tried it. I have tried oxy several times before, and I actually prefer hydro, as it is more sedating and relaxing...and at times it can actually put me into a nod, and I'm sure many people would agree with me in this.
 
Maybe instead of doing just 1 drug constantly, you did say, for 2 days hydrocodone, then wait a day or so and do a roll, then have a drink for 1 night or take a benzo. Don't do a lot of just 1 drug, but maybe try to mix things up a bit.

Just my .02

please don't encourage people to take a more potent opiate than another for the simple fact that you prefer it.

yeah, why mess around with the gateway drugs when you can just go straight for the big prize?!

that was a joke, but IMO, either stay sober or try amphs(meth if you are good at not getting addicted. but this stuff is VERY addicting.) although it wont help you in the chilling out part, it will definitely help in the socially awkward part. im really socially awkward/quiet when im sober.
 
meh, I used drugs very moderatly - perhaps every weekend, and still managed to get bored of most of them except cocaine and mushrooms.

MDMA for me still feels wonderful, but after I comedown, my heart races, I can't eat, can't sleep, and my eyes continue to be dilated for another 4-6 hours. The combination of these issues once I come down is quite overwhelming and painful, so I try not to roll too often. I just feel it harms my body and mind too much for my comfort, as much as I enjoy the high. And it doesn't seem to really matter how hard I try to post/pre-load, or drink enough water while high, or do whatever to prevent these effects from occuring. They still do..

I was addicted to Ketamine for 8 months, and that was great. Never got tired of that stuff. But I knew I had to quit it, because it was beginning to affect my life negatively and I knew that I had to stop before it developed into a major problem. So I quit doing it - took me 2 months, but I managed to do it on my own. I hadn't done it for a few months when I decided to buy a little off of my friend and try it out again. ...I didn't really enjoy it. It doesn't excite me anymore, now that I've quit. I didn't get tired of it, I just got over it, I suppose.

I did speed a few times, but then I had a nasty experience so I stopped doing that. I used to take GHB a decent amount, but over time the taste started to bother me so much that I'd gag at the thought, and eventually I just stopped doing it (what a pussy eh? heh). And as for marijuana.. well, I was a stoner a few years ago, but then I got sick of it. Recently I've been smoking it a little, but not really that often. It's alright, I guess.

I'm sure cocaine will just be a temporary fling. I love it, but the high is too short, the comedown too brutal, and the cost too high for me to be able to continue it for long. However, I know that psychedelics are here to stay =D my favorite. I can never get tired of seeing and feeling beautiful things.



I think that the problem is with having short "love affairs", so to speak, with drugs, is that once you get tired of one thing you're just going to move onto the next. And that next thing may be worse than the last. So be careful.
