Confused about methamphetamine

[dankhead88]

So, I am confused about my usage of methamphetamine. I am able to sleep on it and sometimes I can even sleep for a full 8 hours, maybe even longer, depending on factors such as how much meth is in my bloodstream or if I consumed any other drug.

For example, I would IV or smoke approximately 25mg and I would feel tired after an hour and fall asleep depending if I stayed up or just worked all night. If I did 50mg I would be able to feel some slight stimulation and euphoria but still doesn't wow me and if I did close to 100mg I would feel even more euphoria and stimulation, but still no trisma or nausea. This morning I woke up after a 20 hour slumber, IV'd about 20mg and took a nap shortly after eating.

Not only that, I wake up with a fast heart rate with low blood pressure.(However, I've only noticed this twice with the use of opiates ie 60mg hydro or about 10mg of heroin[which was a nice little gift from a friend] was the only time) Not sure about other nights, because I continue to binge and/or redose until I feel the desired effects until my 200mg(or .2g, whichever way you want to say it.) bag is almost gone which usually makes me stay up longer, but still able to take power naps, depending on how tired I am.

If I did some, my BPM would slow down. Now before I've felt this way. I used to get rapid heart beats, trisma, and my eyes would be wide open while being able to stay up for prolonged periods of time and this would only take about 15-20mg. I did however try to force myself to eat, take a multivitamin, and try to consume any anti-oxidants i can find to protect the neurotoxic effects of methamphetamine.

Could my CNS be experiencing down regulation of dopamine receptors? Can it be a sign of neurotoxicity or cardiotoxicity? Maybe I should consult a doctor so that he can give me an examination. Just that medical bills are very expensive and I have no feelings of discomfort or pain whatsoever. Could it be just tolerance and paradoxical effects? I used to be prescribed to 5mg methylphenidate when I was 7 years old. I'm just wondering if anyone else felt the same way.

Of course it would be a good idea to take a break. That's my idea for now. I don't feel much euphoria or benefits anymore from the use of it. Just wasting my money and I would presume that I've done enough damage to my body anyways.

first of all, shooting meth is dangerous, even with a micron filter. if you dont have am micron filter, than dont even attempt IV.

no one can tell you what is causing your symptoms, we can only guess. the best way to find out if you have something seriously wrong would be to go to the hospital or doctor's office.
you could have an atypical automatic nervous system, or hyperthyroidism, ect...

I am completely aware of the dangers of IVing meth, I do need to quit though. I try to stay away from IV usage of meth, as the stuff is caustic and could be cross contaminated other various impurities and whatnot, however I try my best to practice safe IV usage with new syringes, sterilized cottons, rubbing alcohol, etc. Well, y'all get the point.

I know it's very beneficial and much safer and logical to use a micron filter, which is ironic that I study harm reduction on this forum, yet I carry out destructive drug use. If problems persist, I will probably check out a doctor, however for the time being, I'm just wondering if anyone else has a similar experience. I do apologize for my hypocrisy. I tell others about safer use yet I carry out destructive acts of my own. I do not condone any of these actions. I do appreciate the concern though.

I can sleep on all stimulants. It's easy to focus on nothing and fall asleep. Once I'm completely at the baseline of the crash It's impossible to sleep however.

Hell I could sleep on a point of meth. I smoke 2 points per session to get a good high going.

It's a weird chemical. I think it really pushes the lines of being so effective on pleasure centers that it has strange paradoxical effects that become more apparent with tolerance. During a time period where my tolerance became extremely high due to availability and bad company, I would use a small amount and feel like taking a nap.

I've been dabbling in meth as well over the past two months. I find that smoking gives a very smooth high that after about 4 hours I get tired/yawning . It's great because it allows me to get to sleep at night and have a semi decent sleep. Now if I snort it I find it more of a buzz and kind of edgy. And if I snort any after 12pm there's a good chance I wont be sleeping till the next day.

I usually stick to smoking, plus there's something about blowing out those big huge white clouds.
