I'm wondering how long increased heart rate and blood pressure can hang around after abusing stimulants and if it's something to worry about. Are these symptoms of a kind of withdrawal as well as side effects of the drug? Should other stimulants be avoided during this phase?
I have a few measures in place which have been effective in stopping myself taking more than I decide is safe and appropriate while sober, but yesterday while sober I made the decision to allocate myself a larger amount, approx 40mg of MDPV (to be smoked): I wanted to find my limit, but not give myself enough to accidentally go on a multi-day binge with. I did find my limit for how much I could take before it got uncomfortable with no more than half that over about 12 hours, at that end it was no fun at all really and 18 hours later I still feel like shit, despite getting a decent sleep.
It feels like my chest is tight and my heart is pounding, but my HR is only around 65bpm, which is normal for me. I'm also feeling stressed as hell, but I don't know if that is some kind of withdrawal effect or just because I really do have things to stress about. I took the drug in the first place to help me get the things done that were stressing me, and now I've just lost a day worrying about whether I've caused myself any damage. A problem is that I do need to take my (prescription) stimulants for concentration, but I don't want to do that if it's going to be dangerous to my health.
edit: on the plus side, now I know what I can handle and will be able to dose more responsibly in the future
