Ok so I made some bad, bad choices this weekend. Friday was fine- did a point of ice and a small 2cb dose. Find and dandy.

Saturday was different. I started off with a small amount of meth. Got really bad diarrhea but ignored it. Then I got annoyed because I wasn't getting high and was feeling kind of spacy. Contined to redose. Still- nothing. Took half an MDA pill which seemed to work better.

Then I took more meth...no idea how much but probs 2-3 points.

After an hour I started to feel sick and went to a friend's house. Then it went all downhill- was sweating profusely, got dizzy, dry mouth and had difficulty breathing. I went home and when I was walking nearly passed out. Body was all tingly and I felt like I might vomit. Had trouble speaking.

At home I lay down and took a Xanax. My vision was going weird. I struggled to breath in intense pain until I dozed off.

Woke up an hour ago feeling better. Had an up and go drink and immediately the nausea came back. Now I'm feeling hot and dizzy again.

What happened and what should I do?

Keep in mind I can't got to a hospital for complicated reasons.

And I have no more Benzos. Only sleep drug I have is melatonin. Would it be wise to take that?

I promise you, you didn't get serotin syndrome or did OD.

Just sounds like you got overstimulated, and didn't got enough to drink.

Drink some water, get something to eat and relax, im sure you gonna be fine.

What's your opinion on the diarrhea I got after a teeny tiny bump of meth?
it's making me think the problem had manifested itself well before I took all the drugs and made it worse.

Not to mention the fact that the meth wouldn't get me high despite me having a low tolerance (use every fortnight at most and never over a point) and using a lot of tiny bumps through the night.
 
Having to go to the bathroom is very common with street stimulants. One reason is because some of them are cut with laxatives. Melatonin will not help in this situation. You may want to try an OTC sleep aid such as Unisom (doxylamine ) or Benadryl (diphenhydramine).

I'm not saying that you need to go to the hospital now, but if you don't get any better you should go. Not being able to go for "complicated reasons" is not wise since your well being should always come first.
 
jess you just being paranoid at the moment, too much of allmost any stimulant and that can happen, trust me, relax, eat, drink something and try sleep.

You will feel good again soon.
 
I know that body feeling. You need to drink lots of water, and EAT. I once stayed up for 4 days straight without food and walked for about a mile and a half (long story) and felt like I was gonna pass out. Body kept going numb and I was running off pure synthetic energy lol no food and no sleep can be horrible to your body. Last time I ever did that, thats forsure. Dizziness, lightheaded, confused, could barely talk. It's a weird feeling. You think your OK and that meth/stimulant will keep you going regardless of how you feel..but don't underestimate your actual health you won't last...trust me it'll happen
 
I've had it where speed just stops giving me any high whatsoever....It just turned into being awake and experiencing side effects, I mustve depleted my shit, I guess! It was strange! It took a coupla months of daily meth use to get there though!! That was a weird time....Maybe you're experiencing something like that...
 
That wouldn't make sense though. I use every fortnight.

This is the first time I've used twice in a row...

I've tried this ice before we no problems, so that isn't it.

It was bizarre...I'm still feeling totally trashed and scared the nausea, dizziness and tingling is going to come back. I really felt like I was going to die and if it hadn't been for the benzos, I think I may have. :/

Also, I forgot to mention that I'm also getting random colour traces. Like blotches of pink and blue appearing out of nowhere. It was made worse when I turned the light off.

I'm really scared guys. It's nowhere near as bad as last night, but something is still very, very wrong and I legit cannot go to the ER.

Why cant you do the ER? Is it worth your health? Please make sure you are safe, see a doc or something. I hope you fell better soon.
 
Sounds like i feel after a heavy binge drinking session.. were you drinking any alcohol?
 
Well, it's the third day. Still experiencing adverse affects. I am still dizzy and cognitively not there. I keep getting headaches and random onsets of tingling, which makes me paranoid of having the syndrome or episode of toxicity return. I am still getting the colour traces as well and my vision is blurry :/

Luckily I managed to secure some valium in case I have a panic attack. I also have OTC sleeping tablets that have helped. I have piracetam as well, would that be of assistance? And should I continue my daily regime of anti-oxidants? Oh and how about supplements like 5htp and l-tyrosine, would they antagonise my state even more or have I gone into a state of depleted serotonin and dopamine that needs replenishment?

I am scared for the future, though. What do I need to do to recover? I've been researching and I'm thinking maybe it was some kind of dopamine toxicity...I really don't know. I have a doctors appointment today and I am concocting a story. I am planning on telling him I took too much prescription desoxyn with a 5htp supplement. Hopefully I can get some help, after all, it's christmas tomorrow...

The reason I can't go into any hospital is because I'm under a mental health warrant for anorexia nervosa (which I was wrongly diagnosed with, my malnutrition having actually been caused by drug abuse). Anyway, I will be chucked into the mental ward instantly and that is a scary, scary place. I would rather die than go back there.

And in regards to future drug use- what's the go? Can I ever use serotonin and dopamine antagonists again? I know most people will flat out say no, but I have a psychological dependence on drug use, at least fortnightly. So stopping cold turkey would be very, very hard. Will I be okay to take small doses a week from the episode?
 
Tell your doctor the truth, it's your life we are talking about man.

Why would you be put directly into mental ward? Because you have used drugs? Sounds weird.

And the last thing you should think about now, is using drugs.
 
I think you should be honest with your doctor and tell them the actual drugs you took. Maybe if you went into the same hospital that admitted you last time and you told them about this they would admit you, but I don't see how a regular doctor could have you admitted from his office. Then again it varies by country and I don't know where you are from.
 
^Oh, if they think you're a little "off", they WILL throw you in the chicken hatch! Maybe there's something going on with you, but you don't seem delusional and you're able to clearly state what's going on with you!

Personally, I think you're freaking yourself outx10! I've seen people really have breaks with reality from drugs! I think you're talking yourself into a lot of these symptoms! It's amazing what your mind can do! If you're scared, get yourself checked out, but they may send you for an evaluation....after the first time I "got snet for an evaluation", it was on my record, and every single subsequent visit to any hospital after that resulted in an "evaluation", and that was 4 times....3 out of four times, they made me sit there for 18-24 hours and than let me go....The first time, I fought with them to let me out and they saw that as evidence that I was crazy!

Actually, the first time, my family signed papers on me because I wasn't sleeping, but once they had that in the system, it came up every fucking timE!

do what you feel, and be careful!! They will pull some "One Flew Over The cuckoos Nest" shit on you! even in 2012....most people don't know how fucked up and easy it is to get railroaded into the mental health system! the more "crazy people" they can find, the more money and job security they get! It's just like the prison system, and if someone you're close to attests to your "craziness", that's all they need!

Not to freak you out, do whats right but be aware!
 
Bluehues where are you from? Im guessing this only can be in the US, I have never experienced or heard of people getting in the system or mental ward etc, for have done some drugs and gone to the hospital in my own country.
 
I'm from australia and if you have walk into hospital with a mental health history they will transfer you to the mental wards straight away.

Drs are different. They don't have access to public health records. Anyway, I went and she basically said I would be ok but then she didn't seem to know much about drugs.

I'm still skeptical. I still feel dizzy, nauseous and keep getting pins and needles all over my body- which is how the episode started.
 
haha is that true? Sick man, crazy Australia then..

Well I hope you get better soon dude, if you don't wanna go to the hospital.

Merry christmas :)
 
It could also be that youve picked up a viral infection from the couple of days partying and its just hit you at the same time as youve been using so you naturally attribute it ti the drugs, add to that your anxiety about the symptoms and that prob explains it. BlueHues if you think that the mental health professionals are out to get you then arent they just a little bit justified in doing an evaluation? :-p


Only joking mate, couldnt resist.;-)
 
^Yeah, well that's the thing, if they do come to evaluate you and you're not %100 cheerful and cooperative with them, that somehow makes you even more crazy, because what normal person would have any problem being stuck in a locked ward for awhile?!
