Is there a certain number of hits of meth you stop after or something like that? I can never decide if i should take another hit or not, so how do you decide? I'm just worried about accidentally overdosing especially since I smoke alone a lot of the time.
 
uh when you feel you've had enough...? or its been three days and the shadow people are starting to talk to you. thats usually another good indicator of when to stop.
 
My understanding is that psychosis is a far bigger risk than 'accidentally overdosing'.
Sleep deprivation is a major cause of this.
If you set yourself the boundary of not staying awake too long (either by using in the morning and daytime and going to bed at night - or being strict not to stay up for longer than 24 hours at a time).

Smoking meth is notoriously compulsive and hard to stop fiending for and re-dosing over and over again.
Setting yourself limits may help, or having someone with you that can distract you from bingeing when it's time to stop, or at least attempt to find something to distract yourself with.
It is also really important to stay hydrated and remember to eat, even if you have no appetite. You'll feel better in the days afterwards if you drink plenty of water and eat some manner of food.

Multi-day amphetamine benders can be really bad for your psychological and physical health, so it is good that you are thinking about this and and how to take steps to reduce the harm of your use.
Play safe!
 
I used amphetamine in binges on and off and I've recently realised that all it gives me is weakness and I don't need it at all. I used it mostly when I was around people to be talkative. I usually talk about abstract stuff that nobody is interested in because they don't understand it, so I often used stimulants/empathogens to be more like the others. It's useless to be honest and once you free yourself from the compulsion, you can clearly see that your reasons for taking amphetamine/other stimulants have no basis.

I often stay awake at night even without stimulants because I work best when it's calm and quiet around me. And with amphetamine sometimes I would be awake for a week already seeing stuff that was not there and I would tell myself "just one more line, I know I need to sleep, but I don't want to yet". This is crazy when you think about it, it's nothing more but your body wanting more dopamine that is even not there any more. So if you're thinking that you should stop, then you're right, most of the time there is no good reason to exhaust yourself.
