Ive noticed that when I'm in a manic episode or hypomanic and I smoke speed, I won't need much and I'll be spun as hell, or it will calm me down and mellow me out.

But on a minor depressive episode I will barely feel it no matter how much I smoke. I can smoke a gram in a day every of some good dope and still sleep every night.

And on a major depressive episode, where I can barely get out of bed, I can smoke and not even feel it. Amount, quality, ROA all don't matter. Its like meth just doesn't work at all. It has no effect what so ever. Even the physical effects of speed are non existent.


I was wondering if anyone else has had this expierence and can shed some light on this.
(Also everytime this happens I am with people and they use the same amount as me and probably same amount of tolerance and they are high when I don't feel anything or barely feel it.)
 
Personally I've always thought it was how that particular sack was made. I do however know that as long as I am on it I am always calmer than I would be otherwise. Without it my mania is off the hook and I have panic attacks. I'm a daily user and have been for many years aside from a few weeks here and there .
 
8ball1234, i created this account just to reply to your post. The same exact thing a happens to me. As far as what snorkie said, ive had the same sack get me on a good one, then wouldnt do jack shit, then got me back on a good one. Ive been looking into this for years & i narrowed it down to take ssri/snri &/or benzos or somethin along those lines. i even had mri's & shit done on my brain to get a better understanding of what happens on these things that i dont nor wont live without. not everyone is the same. what might be bad for 1 million could keep i stayin alive or willing to stay alive. hope this helps. if u have been takin benzos i would suggest beginning a slow taper over bout 8 weeks to get the amount you need back to or as close as zero as possible & when u notice yourself startin to think bout takin half as many as u did before u started to taper, then u know its time to try to take it easy again for a wHile. Its worked for me for several years now

just wondering why do some people call it dope out west?
 
I have never had Methamphetamine before but i have ate Dexedrine Ir's and Dexedrine spansules plenty of times and although i am bipolar i find that if i am hypomanic or suffering through depression it can kind of calm me down and help me focus. Of course if i over do it i end up in a sort of semi psychotic tweaked out state that is the opposite of fun and i do have a tendency to over do it with Dexedrine. But in low doses it does act as sort of a anti-depressant.
 
There are a number of inherent risks when it comes to taking Methamphetamine with mental illnesses.
Seems like your brain chemistry is interfering with you high, or more likely, the Meth is interfering with your brain chemistry.
