These accounts make my own many 2 night binges seem like absolutely nothing. Although I could tell that I was reaching my own mental and physical limits by that point. It wasnt just the no sleep and no food, I could barely even touch water. So no wonder I felt so awful. I'd also skip my regular nightly mirtazapine, and benzos I think, IIRC, until the session ended, which also cant have helped.
When I'd start hearing what sounded like dragon flies buzzing around my head, that was one of my "uh oh" signs that I needed to start ending the session.
Thank God for Mirtazapine and Benzos, I couldnt imagine going through what surely would have been the most brutal comedowns without having the luxury of sedatives to allow you to relatively quickly slip into a temporary oblivion, and to sleep off the worst of it. (I remember how awful speed comedowns felt, long before the days that I discovered benzos, and the feeling completely exhausted but still mentally wired and completey unable to sleep.)
The worst of it was, that I never even really enjoyed MDPV, or gained anything good from it - It didnt even enhance music for me, like most stims do. It just had this weird and grim compulsion for me.
I would just get into prolonged porn collecting, organising, re-organising, movie editing, etc etc, binges that made me feel grim. Many times I'd find a certain image or clip, that I knew would easily get me off, but I'd move on by swiftly, just to prolong things. God knows why. The whole thing was nothing but bad news for me. All brought about by the mephedrone ban, and a felt need to find some kind of replacement substance.
If I was to do MDPV again, which even if it was available, I dont think I would, I would definitely pop a benzo or 2 if I felt the heart rate and paranoia was getting too bad. I don't think that I ever thought of doing that at the time. I note from
@Shambles post above that concerns about heart failure are very real. I have often been concerned about this during stim binges. But the worst of those, and pushing things to dangerous levels, thankfully seem to be behind me. I'd definitely use benzos a lot more if I ever did another heavy binge, to help regulate blood pressure and heart rate. I really would not want to be found dead by the police, with stimulants all over my desk, porn on my screen, and my cock in my hand.
