Meth: IV use, the odor expelled and no rush?

[FayeHarderway]

Hey everyone I've looked far and wide for the answers to these questions, probably caught a few viruses on my phone from digging deep into search engines and questionable sites... but here it is....my question:

I'm a binge user. So won't use for several months and one night get am itch for a bag, slam a nice shot and disappear for a week. Well, this binge around, one bag led to another... and towards the end of the first bag I realized I wasn't getting that rush anymore. In other words, usually I like to slam and get stuck watching porn endlessly. It's been like month slamming every day at least once, probably close to at least 2 or 3 times a day, looking for that insatiable list for porn... and it ain't happening. I shoot, feel hot and then minutes later I'm bored. I think I know but just wanting someone who can break it down factually.

Secondly, this SMELL! I thought it was just me trippin at first, but I'm positive that it's real now. I got a room to get high in tbe other night, and I'm always hyper-aware of the rooms next to mine. Minutes after a shot, I'd hear them coughing or kinda like gagging, clearing their throat, blowing their nose... i was there 2 days and by the last day I was certain they hated me. They'd slam the door coming in and out of their rooms. They could smell it without a doubt. Also, inevitably I nod out sometimes and when I wake up right after doing a shot there's that horrible taste in my mouth and throat. Wtf?

I get like a gunny sticky discharge from my throat, like flem?? And I can rub it between finger and smell the dope in there. Binge is over, I have like half gram I intend to finish, because there's no way I can save it for another time. But anybody know what I'm talking about, I legit have been slamming a shitload and I'm not fucken high....

I know exactly what you are talking about. My pattern of use was similar to yours and eventually I would just reach a tolerance point where I would get a killer hot rush from the shot but 15 minutes later feel I was at baseline normal again. This happened even when I acetone washed the meth so it was the meth not the cuts giving that flaming hot rush. Certain medications like anti-psychotics cam also cause you to reach this point quite quickly.

Meth works on several different receptors in your brain and the ones giving you euphoria down regulate or burn out first of all. It seems the mechanism of the rush works on some other receptors. I don’t know the technical details but if you keep going you won’t even feel the heat rush eventually. At the end of one long binge I was able to go to sleep an hour after a 0.5G shot. Eventually meth gives paradoxical effects with more doses just making you more tired. The only solution I’d to take a very long break. But if you’ve reached this point it’s unlikely meth will ever make you super euphoric again. Awake and horny yes, but euphoric not really.

As for the taste/smell - it’s common to taste the cuts or cooking leftovers in meth in the back of your throat when you shoot. There is no smell emanating from you when you take a shot that people could recognise. Though they might hear you cough/groan when that hot flash hits you. Gargle some mouthwash and your throat will be fine. It doesn’t smell like meth.

I also got to a point like this. @Fiori di Bella can confirm I did a .6 right in front of her on video chat and passed out during the chat less than an hour later... drinking heavy too but no matter what a .6 should not be sleepable under any normal circumstance drunk or not. I'm a daily user now but this was during my heaviest meth use around last fall.. IV heavily every day. Within a few days later I was more sober on the alcohol and I did a 1g shot, or 2 shots consecutively, quick cause I couldnt fit it all into one rig how I had it... I got fairly high but it lasted 4 maybe 6 hours tops and I was back to nothing. I couldn't get a shot to work for me for the life of me no matter how much I did, and smoking it at that point was totally, absolutely useless..

I've been up and down, on and off ever since. No needles the last couple months ish.

The tolerance you will build to this drug is insane. At the same time you will cumulatively gather more and more side effects physical and mental, all of the shitty, that will go off like a hair trigger with any use, if they even go away. It takes a long time to recover from this stuff, particularly pertaining to the brain/mental health problems, but physically it gets bad too. I have two heart meds prescribed now because my BP and HR are out of control even when I'm sober awhile now. I'm supposed to take my BP every day and if it's above 175 on the higher number I need to go to ER because I am a high risk for a stroke. That happened 2 or 3 times in a short period of time and now I rarely check because it freaks me out. Im not taking care by taking any of my meds for aynything, and I cant stop using no matter what. I have permanent damage from this drug and I wont even take a half measure by taking my meds and things even if Im using because I'm scared, and on some level I actually just don't give a shit about it either..

This is where every day, bullshit, fruitless heavy use takes you. You are killing yourself to not even get high and you probably stink too. Think about this and at least take a good break, and then another if you use again and always take breaks because the body cannot handle this level of meth abuse.

Hey @Atelier3 thanks for your response. Yeah I gotta wrap this one up, it's been a lengthy one. It really sucks, I just took a hit like 30 min ago and I feel 100% sober. In the past I would need to make sure I have absolutely ZERO contact with anyone or any obligations for like 2 days to make sure I'm presentable again.
As for the the stuff in my throat it has to smell lol I'm telling you. I've seen back-and-forths online before between 2 people on similar topics. The stuff comes out from anywhere it can. My pee smells, my discharge when I'm watching porn not only feels different. It tastes and smells different too. And this flem in my throat literally smells when I scrape it out. It smells like saliva and dope. I don't cough or groan when I slam, on tbe contrary I make zero noise from the time I crush it, to when I pour it into the bottom of an aluminum can, flicking the syringe lol i do it all as quiet as possible.

When I've done it at home a few times I here my family making the same throat clearing noises etc... it definitely smells. That's why I taste it when I wake up if I sleep right after a shot. Shit just sits in the airways and so it carries when I exhale. I'm no scientist or expert meth user but just my own observations.

Something I find interesting too is that if I slam and then get bored, then smoke a hit or two..I get a small pick me up.. I remember when smoking a bowl spun me tf out...

@Outlier fuck that's fucken fucked. Thank you for sharing
I guess I should be bracing myself for the come down this upcoming week? I must have slammed idk... 2oz in the last 4 weeks? And I can't even say it was fun and I loved it. I've had a better time with an 1/8. And that's probably the move right there... 8ball binge at a time lol

But I'm really sorry to hear about your health conditions and I just hope you feel better. Thanks again

Ok man - about the smell. It is probably Ketones. These are chemicals produced when you do not have enough sugars/carbs and your body starts burning it’s own fat stores for energy.

This is actually pretty common for people going a million milea an hour on amps without eating enough of the right kind of food or getting the right kind of nutrients.

The smell effects your breath and all your body secretions as prescribed. It’s not the meth itself - it’s what the meth is doing to your body.

One of the ketones excreted is acetone so if you smell like nail polish remover and have a metallic taste in your mouth that’s not retry definitely what it is.

Easy fix: get some carbs and liquids into you. Multivitamins too.

 

[FayeHarderway]

Those are great suggestions, thank you. But then, wouldn't that mean that every person who's on a keto diet would reek as well?

Ps. Now I'm eating some bread with humus, lol and my throat is actually struggling to get this stuff down. It's dry, pasty, gunny, and if I reach in there as far as i can and scrape it im gonna pull out some white gunk that smells like meth.. idk.

I've always wanted like a scientific answer to this.

 

[Jabberwocky]

Your level of ketosis is probably amplified by the meth. Plus, people on hardcore keto diets do reek.

I reckon some time off the meth and some rest and quality food you’ll feel completely different.
