We'll, I've been off opiates, ct from 80mg OxyContin. I'm on day 23 and was doing okay except for crippling depression and fatigue. L tyrosine not helping and I just wanted to get stuff done, so I stupidly took methamphetamine- smoked. Helped for a bit, but now coming down. I had to take three k pins to try to get sleep. I hope I didn't overdo it with pins. Just Sooo down and want this all to end. It was only a dime bag that was shared with another, and he smoked most of it. Do you think I have hurt the progress I was making from healing with opes from this stunt. And if so can I do damage control? I know I'm a fool 8(
 
As long as you realize it was a mistake and learn from it you shouldn't worry.

Starting a methamp addiction is probably not the best way to combat depression and it seems like you realize this. If your depression is caused only by your ceasing of opiate use then you should just ride it out without the use of drugs. I have depression and I know the "drugs are bad McKay" response isn't particularly helpful but it is probably your best option.

Maybe try exercise or other distracting hobbies yadda yadda...

Agreed very much so. It will end, and you WILL get through this and YOU CAN beat it. It took me months to get back to normal, after battling withdrawals, anxiety and depression. Good news is, most of your WD symptoms with go away completely soon, at least the physical ones. Mentally however, you just need to give your brain a break. That's what I did. In about three months, you'll be laughing about all this. Nothing wrong with taking benzos temporarily until you get out of your rut, just make sure you keep those under control and take them no more than a few days at a time.

Like falsified said, just excersise. Eat healthy (plenty of red meats), drink orange juice and milk, definitely lots of water. Your body responds very well to a proper diet, and with excersise, the harder the human body works, the more beautiful it becomes.

Needless to say, it's not like you can never do drugs again, no one is saying that and you shouldn't feel that way. If you quit then great! If not, then just practice enjoying your habits in moderation. No one is perfect, everyone deals with struggle at some point in their lives.

You will get better if it is your willpower to do so, I am living proof of that. Keep your head up :)
 
Thanks for your input falsifiedhypothesi and sghouston5. But I should apologize for wasting your time. I really thought I could do this on my own. My habit was two years, and I thought I could handle the paws.. But I was wrong. After stupid meth stunt and pins mj and beer just to get me to sleep, along with severe depression, I fucked up my progress. Today I slipped up, after about 24 days sober from opes. I only wonder how much damage I've done to my slowly healing brain. If anyone has any input on this id love to hear it. I feel so bad.��
