In the past ten days I've had maybe 10 hours of sleep if that. i haven't used in 24 hours. Im soooo tired. No matter what I do I still cannot fall asleep. My body is begging for sleep but my mind is saying woohoo, no sleep for you. PLEASE HELP!!! My body is shutting down; dizzy spells, headaches, aching all over, periods of shaking.... Must have sleep ASAP!!!!!
 
Welcome to bluelight. I'm going to move your thread

Well FINALLY fell asleep last night. Got 4-5 hours of sleep. This happens every time. Would still like to know what works for y'all? I've tried just about everything.
 
I've used meth for several years now and understand the sleep issue. However chasing one drug with another opens up huge medical issues so don't let anyone convince you to use something else to slow down and sleep. That being said I was in the Army and after a weekend binge I would want to sleep before work. Several way's I did this a few I won't mention cause they are just stupid now looking back. Purging is the best option I found just get it out of my system. Water good old H20 in mass quantities with electrolytes added. Just remember forced hydration leads to excessive urination and electrolyte depletion. You can get these at any vitamin shop. Also remember no sleep pass seven days and you'll start to hallucinate. I've also noticed that no sleep past three days and your body even without re-dosing tends to stay awake on it's own. Now in a pinch and understand water is your best friend here but if you just need it gone high doses of niacin or a couple of cups of dieters tea will purge and I do mean purge your system. These two items are meant to detoxify your body and like I said it will purge your system so be bathroom adjacent. Depending on your binge you will sweat it out, poop it out and possibly vomit. Lastly exertion burn off the energy manual labor is a great way to come down hit a gym, chop wood, anything physical however and I can not stress this enough invest in a heart/pulse monitor. They make watch size devices now and over-exertion on a stimulant can lead to hospitalization. Lastly and I do mean lastly. If all else fails Naloxone is a drug users friend as a hail marry option only. If you're honest with your doctor it isn't that hard to get prescribed or just search it out.
