Semi- Experienced with Methamphetamine + Noob with 10mg Ambien =Superwoman gets KOed

Purchased an 1/8 of a ounce one Tuesday night, for 100 US dollars. Friends were telling me the guy has the best shit we will ever encounter. Seeing he was in town only that week, I got the 8 ball (1/8 ounce) to last me quite a while.

Smoked a large bowl via glass pipe with 3 friends over the period of 3 hours. We packed it twice that night.

Quality of the cystals is none like i've seen in a looong time. Big, no powder. Density is heavier than the norm. When dropped on the glass table, it makes a satisfying loud clink.

Melting, crystals, we check the level of cut. Everything melts all at once, and we do the finger test, by blowing into the pipe white heating. No white residue when finger is held above carb. To us, no white - hardly, or no cut.

Taste, none. Smell, very light, hardly noticeable. It's the smell of meth. We were used to the taste and smell of something close to melted plastic.

It didn't burn the lips or tounge when inhaled but if exhaled too fast, the bitter taste of it remained on the back of the lips.

30 seconds after first inhalation, felt the heightened senses perk up especially all over the skin. It's the feeling of goosebumps, that go deeper than the surface, without the bumps. Body temperature is raised, I'm sweating within minutes, but heart rate stays quite normal. (probably isn't, its just beating only a little bit faster that I don't notice) Feeling energetic, we talk up a storm about, life, mistakes we made from tweaking...stuff.

Drive home feeling euphoric. Not the usual headache or seizure type spasms. This was good shit. Packed one more bowl as I settled down to my computer for that night..but only could manage 3 more hits throughout the night. At approximately 6am, I brushed my teeth and rested in bed, just closing my eyes and relaxing. I applied jergen's eye and stress gel (made from cucumber, aloe, vitamin E) to my eye lids, to cool and lessen the dark sunken effect that would come later. I had been able to go to sleep after a night of tweaking, but that day wasn't one of them. I was a little hot all that night. I relaxed, and still felt the euphoric high all over. I wasn't tired at all, but my eyes were red from reading websites all night (i discovered bluelight that night :) )

I couldn't sleep. DUH. Managed to relax enough that I was no no longer sweating or breathing hard. I laid still in my bed for 5 hours, not really sleeping, but not really awake. I guess I was just, "feeling" everything, and keeping my mind blank.

Got up later that day for work and such. Only was able to eat half an Arby's Marketplace turkey sandwich and a pepsi. Came home around 11, with 3 gallons of water. I was still feelin good, but my eyes were a little tired. Went online again, while drinking at least 3 glasses of water an hour. I took the occassional 5 minute break from the lapop to ease stiff neck and eyestrain. Decided to take some more hits. It was my first time buying something even close to that amount, so I indulged. Had about 4 hits that night. Stayed on computer until about 5 am, then went back to bed.

Sleepless again. I lay in bed till 9 am, when my mother called me to get breakfast. Went and cooked, ate none. However, I took my bi-weekly dosage of ginko biloba, and my multivitamins. Took them with an apple so they wouldn't make me sick. Laid down in bed again trying to sleep. 30 minutes, I couldn't stay still anymore. Took one hit, Got up, did laundry, rearranged my room, and washed my car. I then showered, and ate a mcdonalds 10pc. nugget meal. ( I couldn't finish it)

The scary part of these days was that I didn't feel sick, or had any aches or headaches like usual. It was getting scary that all this time, my body felt good. However, I know in my mind I need sleep or i'll be retarded when I finally wake up. At about 11pm, I find an ambien from my friends perscription chest. (she doesn't tweak, it's perscribed for her)

I believe its a 10mg pill. I take it.

I log on to bluelight for my reading, but then about 5 minutes after the ambien ingestion, the effects literally hit me. There was an instantaneous feeling of...er I can't describe it. Felt like my skull bone in the back of my head turned into flubber and was lolling around back and forth at a slow pace. My vision didn't blur, but actually contorted and twisted. My thoughts started playing like a movie reel cut an pasted from many different times in my life. Right then I hear the voices, and the fringe of dreams. I wondered are these the shadow people? I thought, "no" because this was full color. Whole scenes of me talking to someone or doing something were being played out at the corner of my eyes. When I closed them, i could see the whole picture, but I couldn't hold on. Nausea quickly arose, and I could not bear the feeling for much longer. All this was happening within the period of 10 minutes. I couldn't even type, I could barely log off windows and put my lap top away. My limbs were having a loss of control, and felt weak.

I laid down for the final time with a churning stomach and fear of this new trip. Even though laying still, it felt like my body was swimming in itself. What a shitty way to end the night, but soon enough, I fell asleep.

I woke up 6 hours later, wide awake, still feeling remnant traces of the meth high. I wanted to sleep much more, so slept a little more, for 3 hours. Woke up again...I think I was still high, because I wasn't lethargic like usual.

That is my report. The meth high was the best i've ever had, mellow, yet alert, no headaches, no spasms. Felt like superwoman. I think it was better this time because I applied the harm reduction methods I had learned over time and from bluelight, drinking water, eating, vitamins, BRUSHING AFTER EVERY SESSION ,and basically chillin out. The ambien really hammered me and scared the hell out of me, (first time touching sleeping pills) but I was able to have a good nights sleep and woke up fresh. Will I do a run like that again? Maybe next month.

nice, well written report! (which really drew me in :) )

i wonder, could it have ben the ambien or was it the
lack of sleep that led to your hallucinations
during your experience?
 
i think I was in the stage right before the "shadow people". I'm starting to believe the "Shadow people" are actually dreams occuring through your eyes are open. Like, your brain MUST process those days of information, and if you aren't gonna close your eyes, its gonna do it anyway, but you only see it in your peripheral vision. Seeing how the ambien forced me to finally sleep, the minor hallucinations was the dreams finally edging their way in after being held back for so long.

By the way, I felt like shit eventually. Massive headache and a n dull chest pain that made it hard to breathe. Even though im not tweaking, I still have a twitch here and there. Sucks.
I came back to read this report after finally telling my parents my problem. Reading it, I feel disgusted with myself. I'm going to rehab next week. Fuck feeling like superwoman. It's over.
FUCK TWEAKING!!!! DON'T DO IT!!
 
Been there, No longer a tweaker, been clean for 2 years. I understand your shadowpeople, I have been up for many a day and almost lost my mind. Keep it in perspective, and don't binge, you'll be fine then.

much love
 
Yeah, good report. From what I read, you missed a full two nights sleep. Is this correct or did you only miss one night? Longest I stayed up was 42 hours. [This was after swallowing a quarter of an 8-ball of very clean catspiss meth]. Then a 5 hour 'cat-nap' followed by awake until 2:00AM next night. What was scaring me was that I would have a heartattack but this was mainly a mental condition caused through nervousness about all the sleep I had missed. The doctor checked my ECG at AA, but they claimed that my heart was normal, my brain was what I needed to worry about. They refused to give me any medication either claiming that one drug cannot be used to fix the unwanted side-effects of anothger drug. And to discontinue all drug usage, even cannabis. This is not bad advice to give someone who has been experiencing these symptoms.
 
ok, i should have put the history into the trip.

the night before the trip began, I slept 7 hours at the end of a run.

the run previous to the report lasted 3 days, with maybe 2 hours total sleep during it.

maybe that clears up the "shadow people" thing.

I was really fucked up.

11 days clean, gonna make it as long as I can.
