Harm Reduction Safe to take

[tricomb]

What's safe to take to ease the side effects of glass?

I hardly ever use ice but the kind I get is so damn pure I give every so often.
I rail it 95% of the time, but today was the exception and I'm dealing with the harsh comedown of vaping it.

IME low doses of Soma and Xanax really help cancel out the bodyload and anxiety, and don't diminish the high.

Is there any downer I should avoid to use for comedowns? I know there are drugs you can't mix with MA like MAOi's but what DOWNERS shouldn't you mix?

and PS I take opiates round the clock

I'm assuming by glass you mean methamphetamine, yes?

Soma (carisoprodol) is safe to take the edge off, as are all the benzodiazepines. Valium (diazepam), Xanax (alprazolam), Ativan (lorazepam), Klonopin (clonazepam), etc. Longer acting ones are probably preferred due to methamphetamine's long duration. Of course if you're taking it at the end of the methamphetamine experience even the shorter acting to medium acting ones like alprazolam, lorazepam or temazepam would work just fine.

Another thing to look into is melatonin. It's an OTC supplement that not only helps you sleep but is a potent anti-oxidant and helps reset sleep schedules. Vitamin C helps a lot.

Thanks for the quick reply: Yes by glass I meant uncut methamp ( know it's uncut because if you acetone wash it, you get a 100% yield)

I usually take the downers right as im taking the m-amp. the longest acting benzo I have is temazepam, but usually I get around this:
bump/vape the ice
immediately take 700mg carisoprodol and 1mg alprazolam.
Then as I usually redose the shard every 45 mins or so, I just add another 350mg soma and 0.5mg xanax every hour.

As far as non-"drug" remedies: I take LARGE amounts of EPA and DHA daily, as well as two complete multivitamins, two vitamin-D gelcaps, coconut oil gelcaps, and an Emergen-C etc.

The obvious answer is do less meth. I personally reccomend re-evaluating your dosing if you are getting bad side effects. Addign Soma/benzos/GABA-ergics to a meth cocktail is a good way to produce a roaring polydrug dependence problem.

BZD's are pretty much the gold standard at reducing meth-related anxiety and jitters though.

 

[tricomb]

Yeah I know what I'm doing.

I do very small amounts at a time (albeit more potent than most) and I don't use often. This is far from my DOC, (opiates)

 

[Jabberwocky]

Yeah I know what I'm doing.

haha, famous last words j/k

I dont think theres much you can do other than benzos opiates and muscle relaxers.

I was referring to knowing the dangers of polydrug addiction.

What about Lyrica?

 

[tricomb]

Just dosed .3g lyrica, to finish this session. dosed a total of ~1400mg carisoprodol tonight, but the damn things only last an hour

 

[tricomb]

Well, as far as Lyrica goes as a comedown helper, I'd give it 1 out of 5 stars. Doesn't do much for you, and just adds another drug that could potentially interact with whatever you take after lyrica has failed you.

I don't do MA often, but even so I worry about my heart when I've taken multiple things to ease MA on it's way out of my system. I'm going to stick to the tried and true meds like benzos, although Soma does certainly reduce many of the physical agitation d-MA sometimes causes, it's something I'd take 350mg with the d-MA, and another 700mg with benzos (xanax or halcion) towards the end of the night, (or more commonly as the sun is coming up, hehe.)
