Good Luck.
Best wish's, i know how you feel. I couldnt sleep because there was meph nearby, now a third sleepless night in a row is sure to ensue :/
I recieved physical withdrawal symptoms in that I would get "electric zaps" up my muscles, behind my eyes, headaches, for 1-3 days when having not used mephedrone. I think that combining coming off an SSRI (which can produce brain zaps in itself if stopped cold turkey) while using mephedrone (also can cause zaps if abused) is not the best of ideas. They are truly horrible, and often happen just as you are literally about to loose consciousness and fall asleep in the hypnagogic stage. This implies that they are due to some alteration in serotonin receptors of some kind, which are thought to regulate sleep patterns.
Swim got the Zaps really badly after abusing MDMA too. Other than this the side effects remained laregly psychological and had all the markings as a psychological addiction.
the most uncomfortable part of the comedown are the zaps, it's like a micro fit or something, i could'nt imgaine niging for longer than a a few days and getting them, they get more powerful the longer u take meph. i'd suggest smoking some weed and drinking alcoholf if you come off it and want some sleep.
Never againParoxetine/Seroxat in particular. *shudders*![]()
I dont think zaps are really to do with withdrawal as much as they are just side effects of abusing a serotonergic drug, withdrawal is a misleading term here.
Feeling, as mugabe puts it, "little bit wee little bit woo" (never heard that before and find it very very cute).
Mugabe, yesterday
Now lay off the meph, lay on the boy and go fuck his lil brains out - raise those dopamine levels the happy way
Good to hear you two are doing reasonably well![]()
It's hard to say exactly. 4-Methylamphetamine is about an equipotent releaser of all three monoamines, while amphetamine is very selective for only DA and NE. The n-methylation of an amphetamine/cathinone usually increases its ability to release serotonin (and to a lesser extent dopamine and norepinephrine; the basicity of the secondary amine may somehow be important to the mechanism of release). Methcathinone is selective for DA/NE over 5HT. If I were to guess I'd say the amount of serotonin release would be very high, higher than methamphetamine or methcathinone and similar to MDMA. There will be no specific 5HT2A or 5HT2C agonism that creates psychedelic effects like you would get with MDMA from the metabolite MDA, however.Shambles said:It affects dopamine more than serotonin I think (may be mistaken but it certainly has a strong dopaminegic action) which would go some considerable way to explain the strong fiending it produces.
