Stimulants Can’t sleep - Advice?

[mous]

So I took two pressed “30mg addy” (meth & amp) over the course of two or so hours, the last dose being 14 hours ago. I assumed by now I’d be able to sleep but to no avail, and I’ve gotta “get up” in 4 hours for work. I did take two .25mg doses of Xanax, which I’m aware is a pretty small dose but the thought process was that I didn’t wanna take too much and be tired in the morning… but here we are anyways!

What would y’all do in this situation? In my head, the options are:

1. Stay up, take another (or maybe a half) before work and just hope I’m not giving tweaker vibes.

2. Take a full dose of Xanax and get whatever sleep I can manage to get, and then just be tired all day.

Just tough it out without doing either of those options, and maybe learn something from the experience. Take some vitamins, drink some water, eat breakfast, and show up to work 4-5 hours from now without taking any more drugs and you'll likely get through it better than if you take more drugs

I really felt like I did everything right as far as like eating, drinking, spacing out the doses to gauge the strength, ect but it was my first time taking meth orally so I just didn’t consider/believe how much longer it lasts

I look a lil more Xanax, not a full dose, but if that doesn’t help in the next hour I’ll just go start my day I guess lol

Yeah don't take anything else. Go to work and just try to be normal and let the amphetamines work their way out of your system. Hopefully you're tired when you get home so you get some extra sleep. Don't take more benzos since they stay in your system longer. Just recover for now and reassess

Hypnotics would be ideal …You can go to a walk-in clinic and get few items for future emergencies

Trazadone 50mg - Hypnotic for sleeping,
Clonidine 0.1mg - anxiolytic & sedative, amazing sleep and lowers BP & HR, reducing norepinephrine in CNS

These 2 aren’t controlled substances and most docs will give you 10 tablets for as needed sleep issues. Clonidine could actually kinda keep up to a benzodiazepine in its robust anxiolytic properties and calming effects

Ideally I would have taken Valium 30mg and been fine, but good lucking getting some …..I have various benzodiazepine stock piled

Benzodiazepines are Top Tier Anxiolytic, muscle relaxant, sedative, anticonvulsant, hypnotic compounds worth their weight in gold. Diazepam, Lorazepam, Etc

Looking for something when you’re already totally Spun is too late so sad…..Id acquire and squirrel away certainly Rx pharmaceutical compounds for rainy day……few Oxy IR, Valiums, Adderall, Lyrica, etc. I use to hide my emergency supply in my gun vault were it can in handy more than once. Also had a back up supply in my car…in case I was out and about and I needed a Ritalin 50mg IR, or a powerful Opioid narcotic, Benzodiazepine, etc

I do that with a lot of stuff….money, food/treats, alcohol, live ammunition, especially Rx drugs I’m dependent on, etc

I would say the xanax may be a mistake at that point if you are going to work. The meth will wear off and then you'll be at work with zero sleep and sedated from xanax which could lead to a problematic situation. I've made this mistake a few times.

Frankly, and I am by no means advising this as HR, if I was in that situation I would have just done more meth to get through a shift then crash later. Its a lot easier to sleep after meth if you are missing sleep. But please don't take that as a reason to not sleep on meth. The ONLY responsible way to use it is never to binge or skip sleep.

Also helps to have a clear conscience.
