How Long/ How Much Meth until negative long term effects?

[ThatOneDude!]

"Studies have shown that meth use permanently effects the ability of the user to feel pleasure as well as decreased cognitive function and motor skills."

So my question is, How much or how long of meth use until these effects start to mess you up?

The reason I ask is because i have been doing meth since end of march, almost every day, primarily snorting sometimes eating. (i drop a few shards in a 5 hour energy shot or the rhino shots with the ephedra powder) i could do a lot in one day. I dont know how important it is to get into my hookups or how i get pure shit. but in that regard the level of intake is higher per dose because of that.
I read this above quote and gather same info from all sorts of websites!
I compare that info to myself and haven't noticed decreased ability of any of the above! Either i have enough brain damage to not even notice, or its something that takes very long term use to take effect?
I am wondering if anyone has any knowledge/insight regarding brain damage or brain chemistry alterations/effects.

SIDE NOTE:
I take a lot of Magnesium Citrate, aprox. (400-800mg/day)
I take Omega-3 1000mg/day
Abilify 5mg/day (i've heard is a powerful potentiator that is highly discouraged due to how ever abilify works exactly, but yes it amplifies meth greatly!!
5-HTP 100-200mg/day (main reason to combat sleep dep. other than recover from molly)

And when i put a big shard er two into a rhino shot, i'll tweak hard and long off of only half. (the thing is actually devided into two shots (servings) something like 25mg ephedra powder and 100mg caffine per serving...

I got off topic but idk maybe you know something to throw in about ephedra or the supplements i take.

You can do methamphetamine, for YEARS, with no long term effects if you are a speed freak like me.

It is corrosive to your teeth, though. Not everybody can handle methamphetamine, either.

There are way too many variables and there's no certain answer, as it's going to be different for everyone.

I've met people who only used it on weekends for a short period of time and they had issues from it, and known other people who did not start to have issues until years of use.

Stay safe, and be careful. Isn't combining ephedra with a stimulant like meth dangerous?

Yeah, it really depends on the person and probably a lot of other factors too.

Yah thanks that helps me put things into perspective!
and i dont know much about combining ephedra, altho i do remember reading that there is significant difference between ephedrine, ephedra, and ephedra powder.... i could be getting confused between the last two. but i will admit the combo of ephedra and caffine is a potent mix, and those "Rhino Rush" energy shots put the "5 hour energy" to shame! like those Rhinos Kick!, they hit fast and last long, i got soo hyper off the first one! for long time too. almost as if i was on speed er something. i probobly still had lingering effects in my system altho idk. so i started throwin a shard or two in there, and OMG! i drink half (1 shot) and would be like "Oh fuk yah, im high!..." lol for a long time too. so i bet its gotta be the danger to your heart and all that stuff because how amped up it can get you!

In that regard, i think* i can handle speed/uppers better than some others, based on observations only tho. I would have no clue to be honest. altho yah i shouldnt test myself to find out either lol. thanks for your input guys!

I have some buddies that I used to do tweak with more than occasionally. Physically I never noticed any changes after almost a year... but mentally... they started talking crazy. Stuff like "Dude.... listen I figured out how to make time travel work, how we can travel through time. Its like a spinning wheel and you jump in at the right time and it requires no energy at all."

I had a 3 hour argument with this cat before I told him to get some sleep or I wouldn't be hanging out with him anymore. Some people start to think real weird off of the tweak even while sober, and some peoples minds are tough and can handle it. Like another poster said, way too many variables.

Yah no kidding! lol i know what you mean there! I was with a buddy, we'd been tweakin for a while, he starts trying to convince me i have a bi-polar type of rapid split personality disorder! haha he keeps tellin me "There! you just switched again!" and im just like... what da fuk.... haha He would keep doing that to me as well, or yah just weird shit.

However i've never really felt changed in that level mentally. i mean i've been doing it HEAVY mostly off and on, mostly on, for well... since middle of February! i've seen shadow people now and then when i go too many days without sleep and large amounts of meth. managed to keep my tolerance down with proper supplement intake! best thing ever! i suppose im one who can handle uppers and meth pretty well. except thats where my concerns come in, because who knows after i go for so long, it adds up to much ya know!

Does anyone know about specific supplements/meds to take to help maintain while using? (i.e. take ibuprofen to minimize brain damage, or magnesium citrate to help maintain/reduce tolerance levels, really thats the main one i use. i just have a few 200mg here and a 400mg there throughout the day lol.

As far as potentiators go.... i might need to back off the ephedra and abilify. that ephedra messes with my heart rate too much, let alone i'll be speedin my ass off when combined. That abilify tho... sometimes i tweak really hard and just like.... idk exactly its like without the heart rate, but super twaked out. i worry about my mental state, and i'm having OCD spikes now! Something about abilify's binding affinity something or other is off the chart! and can probly really mess up my brain when combined.

I'm really wanting to figure out best way to combat the negative effects of simply doing meth for prolonged periods of time, i got tolerance under control, but i just know theres a lot more going on! like anyone know about preventing dopamine receptor damage? idk maybe ibuprofen helps with that?

EDIT: If you guys haven't tried "tweaker shots" i call em. you gotta! if you take a Rhino Rush shot, those things with that ephedra powder, be careful, its a rough/sharp/super fast tweak (depending amount of shards you add) but the 5 Hour Energy ones are perfect!
I just open one up, and add however much i think would be enough for my tweak that i want, so i feel like its easy tweak, just drink the shot, get some energy from the shot, then you got your tweak as well, and to me, it lasts a good while compared to snorting of course, but the convenience is wonderful! Make it ahead of time, then you can just take a "5 hour energy" when your feelin "tired" or whatever, really fast, easy and inconspicuous!
IF ANYTHING, haha your just "sensitive to caffine!" haha, altho never had that problem with people so....
Sometimes i accidentally added TOO MUCH shards and start tweakin insanely, so i take like an oxy10 (im sensitive to opiates) and then i get a wonderful speedball! like Fantastic!
