Hey everyone,

I just have a quick question concerning the days following speed usage. Last time I did so, I felt pretty depressed and apathetic for roughly a week. I'd assume this has to do with Dopamine and my reward centers being depleted. What are some methods to mitigate the adverse affects that follow? I vaguely recall that dopamine is regulated by sleep. Should I make a more conscious effort to sleep once the effects wear off? Previous incidents I would stay up all the following day after staying up all night.

Cheers. :)
 
Try using less and not in consecutive days. Make sure to stay hydrated and eat before dosing, and snack on things throughout the day. Don't stay up all night and if you have to use a sleep aid to get at least 6 hours. 8 is preferable. Start early in the day so you'll be able to sleep at night. Benzo's are a godsend for this, but be wary of dependence to those as well.

Are you using street meth or prescription amphetamines? Are you using them for study or recreation? I'd supplement with magnesium and maybe throw some memantine or low dose dxm polistirex to prevent tolerance. Medeviel has a great thread about this I'll try to find it for you when I have a second.
 
ugh that sucks can you just get more goods or tough it out? I often take benzos or pain killers when im coming down.. which surprisingly doesnt happen too often b/c i use so frequently.

Also what the dude above said, is this street speed or adhd meds? I have heard adhd meds give less of a comedown then actual speed. so that could be it? idk.
