Preventing mxe addiction?

So methoxetamine seems to cause addiction for a lot of its users, are there any general rules that users go by to try and prevent this from happening? Maybe a once every two weeks rule or something of the sort?

Is it easy to moderate use with this one or does it have a strong pull to it for some even if used sparingly?
 
Some people like mxe, some hate it, some could take it or leave it. If you don't want to be addicted to a substance, you should moderate your usage. However, due to the nature of addiction, moderation can be extremely hard to achieve for some users.
The only surefire way to avoid addiction is to abstain completely.
 
^ I gave mine to my girlfriend, only for me to start thinking about breaking in her house while she was at work to find it and take a shitload.

I fear I can never do MXE again. It is more addicting than heroin for me personally. It just hits me in all the right spots. So many pleasure centers activated...I could be a vegetable for life and be happy about it on MXE.

i've read things like these multiple times regarding mxe which is why i still haven't done it yet


maybe this is one of those things better left untested
 
Simple. Restrict yourself to occasional use. Limit yourself to one, maybe two trips per month, and you'll be fine.

Easier said than done for some, yes.

I got into the habit of weekly / bi-weekly use, and found myself in a pretty serious "relationship" with the chemical, so to speak. 8) Around the time I went off to school for the Fall '12 semester, I decided that the chemical was doing me more harm than good, so I quit, and have not used it since. At first, it was incredibly painful, and I found myself thinking about MXE almost constantly. Now, the thought only crosses my mind once in a blue moon, and I no longer mourn its absence in my life.
 
I'm quite interested in dissociative addiction b/c I have had some addiction issues in the past (not with dissociatives) and I enjoy dissociatives, but never really understood dissociative addiction. Apparently I'm not in the vulnerable subset of the population for that or something. MXE & K are both the type of thing I can keep around for quite a while & not do. And I do enjoy them quite a bit when I do them. Just not compelled to do it often. I think the most habitual I've gotten with any of them was a cheeky line before the bar on a Friday or Saturday night most weeks for maybe a month or so. And even then I can count the amount of times I exceeded 60mg in a night on one hand. My thoughts would be if you've had issue with k, dxm or n2o in the past, may wanna stay away. If not, you may well be fine. This is far from definitive but seems to jive with my observations FWIW.
 
Just don't do it for more than one day in a row. Keep it to once a week/fortnight/month or whatever.
 
If it's anything like ketamine addiction: do not keep large supplies around, buy smaller amounts and when you run out don't get new instantly.
 
I think it's like most things, there is a subset of people who are prone to addiction but you have absolutely no way to know if you're susceptible until it's too late. Set yourself some concrete but realistic rules before trying it and don't break them is probably the best advice.
 
i also seem to not understand dissociative addiction. i mean, i certainly abused the shit out of MXE, but i got bored after some months and kicked it from one day to another and moved on to other adventures like NBOMes or 4-sub tryptamines, which i also got bored of pretty quick (months still).

i guess i'm just addicted to the experiences itself and not a certain chemical, since i never got hooked on anything longer than some months max, even opiates or benzos.
 
im tempted to use it everyday when i have it. To prevent that i have my gf hold on to it and not tell me where it is.
The more i use it the more i think about using it so keeping use down to a few times a month is working well for me. If i use for several days in a row ill find myself craving it more. But if i use it once and then wait a week or two till the next time i dont feel plagued by thoughts of using as much.

I fall in to the category of those that find this to be one of the most addicting drugs. Im doing pretty good at keeping the addiction at bay by using the way i described above. The high is just very satisfying.
The high doses are very insightful and enlightening so that makes me want to return to that state regularly.
Low doses are a great mood lifter and very recreational and not very intoxicating so that makes it easy to want to take this almost daily.

Some self control and will power is what it takes to keep this drug feeling special.

I find dissociatives to be amongst the most addictive drugs psychologically, and with MXE I immediately jumped into 24/7 use, it was just perfect (well, IVing led to freakishly quick tolerance gains so I only had one proper hole...). Even when speedballing I was able to keep it down to once every other day, though back before I ever experienced withdrawal I had a similar lack of control over opiate use.

If you want to know why, whereas I personally find opiates effective for euthymia, dissociatives in high doses work like emotional wish fullfillment. When in high dose experiences or those dream-visions, it's like for the small forever that it lasts I am living a life worth living and everything is wonderful. Instead of just putting a temporary bandaid of indifference over my fundamentally broken, loathsome existence.

Of course these days I mostly avoid'em due to tolerance and the profound negative mental effects of over use (that I never notice during it).
 
I don't see reason why it should be any different with MXE than with any other drug with high addiction potential there is. If you want to 100% avoid addiction, you should only do it once per month, MAYBE twice a month.. Do it twice a week and you're on best way to be wonderfully addicted, like half of this forum's MXE users lol.
Why do I say 'lol' though, this is no joke.

MXE creeps on you incredibly inconspicuously because there are often no side effects at all, until.....
 
The problem with avoiding addictive use patterns with dissociatives like this is that there is no acute short term negative side effects to frequent/daily/constant use. Whereas with opiates you have w/d, and amps will wear you down quick, delusion and mania are the only real problems associated with this, and even then those are generally subtle. I'm not saying it's as benign as chronic consumption of cannabis or anything like that, but it's pretty easy to get away with it and you're off scott-free when you decide to discontinue use.

If you want to continue to experience good holes and are worried about long term dissociative tolerance, maybe you'll be able to restrain yourself, but this one is pretty magical at low doses, so it's hard for such concerns to disincentivize consumption.
 
I used quite a lot two days in a row and kinda screwed myself because I've been craving it pretty intensely for the past couple of days.

Am going to allow myself some a week after my last dose. And limit my use to maybe 2 big bumps (as opposed to like 10 small/medium bumps). Then I plan on taking a week/2 week break.

So far what's helped with fighting off cravings is to just have some weed.
