Outgrowing Stimulants?

I kicked my speed habit cause of the paranoia and anxiety. Maryjay exacerbated the problem a lot as well. about 9 months of 3-4 times a week usage might not mean full on dependance but it proved too much for me.

I think it is because stims are more of a social drug, and a lot of people only use them in groups while out partying. When you grow older, you will likely stop going out all weekend long binging on stims.

There are other drugs (opiates and benzos) that are easier to do if you want to relax, take it easy, and feel good.

That pretty much sums up my thoughts o the topic
 
from early 2009 to 1.11.2010 i occasionaly used amphetamine and methamphetamine
But even after just a single line of medium-quality speed, off of which i was high for maybe 3 hours, a hellish comedown without the possibility of sleep or food followed, lasting about 48 hours, so i decided to quit them for good...

i never really got too much of a good feeling from them, it just enabled me to be social on, well, social events. they were good for that, but not worth the trade.
in addition to all these negative effects, i lost about 10 pounds per session (4-5 medium sized lines of speed OR 2 tinytiny lines of crystal), and i needed about two weeks of eating very much, to regain these lost pounds...
i'm 1.85 meters tall and weigh 60 kilos on average, so i'm quite fragile to begin with, i guess that was the deciding factor.

nowadays i very frequently blaze, occasionaly take 600mgs of tramadol over an evening, take psychedelics (especially dissociatives, which turn me on like nothing else <3)

so you could say, i've grown out of stims, before i could really grow into them

I shudder at the thought of dealing with both the amphetamine "withdrawals" and mono at the same time. I have had both, but never at once. It must be like going from superman to below living.

Mono was by far the worst thing I had to cope with. It was like I was incredibly sick, but not sick at all. I continued to live as a normal person during the entire experience.

It was without a doubt the worst experience of my life. I honestly believed that I was dying, and learning that my liver wasn't "functioning correctly" only made me that much more convinced... (I guess that mono can affect the liver, but at that time my doctors hadn't yet even suggested the possibility of it being mono...)

When it was all "over..." and by that I mean, when I could once again go about performing the most basic, everyday daily tasks... I had to throw away all of my pillowcases and bedsheets because every bodily fluid that you can imagine had stained them... blood, urine, sweat, vomit...

I agree, this is what I saw in most people after college... As for me, I quit early in college because (after a long probation without any stim use) it started making me anxious rather than social, and the side effects (sweating, cold hands and feet, teeth grinding) got to me at lower and lower doses. Cannabinoid use is the only way I have found to combat these, but the alleviation never lasts as long as the stims themselves and the experience isn't worthwhile without cannabinoids (or alot of liquor) close at hand.
 
3 years into a slowly heavy use of daily ampths..i too have felt the out growing of them ... i can run out of a script and really just not care anymore. the longer i go without the less I just get that same urge to use like before. mdma and such is fun a few times a year, but we were daily adderall and desoxyn users and just didnt wnat to be looked at like a "tweaker" although it was legally scipted. now i just save them for special occasions or mixing and ofcourse late nights.
 
ehhh, i started doing coke hardcore daily two months ago and just recently have noticed that it's not really working anymore. i thought i just grew super tolerant so i just started doing bigger amounts, but still nothing really except for the racing heart. i'm not sure what to do! how do i feel that high again? should i do even bigger amounts (without overdosing, though) or switch to another drug? what would you recommend?
 
Stimulants were & are way over rated to me. When I was in college, we drank alot & smoked weed. I tried coke & hated it. Then tried other stims but never liked the way they made me feel afterwards so I never outgrew them since I never enjoyed them to begin with. Didnt start trying opiates until I needed them for pain & definitely enjoy them as they tend to make me relax & enjoy everything around me.
 
I quit in my early twenties for many of the reasons others have posted(comedowns, feeling like shit the next day, not sleeping, etc..)

I don't miss the stims feeling per say, as I have replaced that feeling with the much better and gentler opiate, but I definitely miss the lifestyle, partying all night, being the life of the party, having adventures, fucking random girls, etc.
 
First time trying a stimulant, not even abused, just prescription-wise, feel amazing. Actually getting stuff done is so FTW. :)

I think I found my new drug of choice - until I get bored and move on to the next one.
 
Yup... I even avoid caffeine nowadays. :\ But then again I haven't particularly moved on to downers either.

Although I've never tried coke, I'm talking about speed and meth mainly. It wasn't even the comedown that bothered me (although it sucked - but I could get through it alright), after a while I just felt horrible high. Too overly-alert and strung out.
 
Stimulants are definitely my preferred substances (specifically, MDMA and amphetamine) but I really seem to be predisposed to them. For one I have ADD so have a lot of trouble concentrating and staying on tasks so a low dose of amphetamine is really freeing for me. Recreationally, they are extremely easy for me to enjoy as well. The only downside is the comedown but I am pretty good about harm reduction. I space out my use and eat well, hydrate, do pre/post loads. I can definitely see how person could get burnt out on stims if they overused them. We'll see if I stop enjoying them as much after a while, it has really only been a year of doing them for me. I feel like as long as I don't overuse that probably won't happen.
 
Ive been using meth/whip for about five years.
Tried coke, LSD, pills, benzos etc in that time.
Meth stays with me because Im a social person and I find it the best drug for having fun with mates.

I might outgrow it... But Im 30 soon!
 
I used to use a lot of speed and MDMA in my younger days(im only 21 now though lol) and id usually be fine, now I just completely flip out the days after using it and the body load has become just way too much. Unless I have benzos the days after which is rare as all shit I cant use stims. Im usually ok with coke and MDMA but speed, meth, ice, Ritalin all of that shit I need to stay away from. Im sure its made my mental health go down the drain and physically makes me look like more like a junky in a day of two of meth use, it would take months of opiate use to make me look as shit as one night of meth use.

I think before too much longer I wont be using stims except for coke at all.
 
Eh a year of having a coke bottle of dexedrine is kinda hard to kick seeing as how ive been on some sort of add medication my whole life. I dont know if Ill ever grow out of it lol. But I did take a step away from dex and back to adderall.
