Hey there,
I have a question about post meth anxiety/depression. I've only done meth about 6/7 times which I always regret afterwords. This recent time I did it Friday, and the next day did MDMA with a couple friends Saturday night.. I have been dealing with immense anxiety and waves of depression as if I have no motivation to life anymore. Im used to post-MDMA depression which I can deal with. Monday I took 2mg Clonazepam which helped with the anxiety for about a day and a half (not the depression though) but I dont want to use that permanently..now my question is after just a nights usage of meth how long from a personal perspective does the depression and anxiety last for,the web just tells you the long-term effects of a heavy meth user which isnt what Im looking for. Im definitely abstaining from using it ever again.. :(
 
Really if you're wanting to fight the after depression of MDMA with meth, that's a BAD idea, best to just wait it out and let your serotonin balance out. But all I can say for single meth use, is most likely the crash Will put you in even worse depression, thus the single meth use won't be worth, if you regret your other ones, this one you will regret even more. Just try some natural foods and herbs to help with anxiety and balancing out serotonin after MDMA. Just look up what can help after MDMDA trips and anxiety. And continuing with your question, if you're planning to take it around night you won't get any sleep and the crash + anxiety + unbalanced serotonin inducing feelings of sorrow + sleep deprivation, and sleep deprivation will make your symptoms worse tenfold. If you do in the day you should be a little better off, but still, the crash might put you in crazy misery, but after the crash I think you'll just be scarred from regret and probably not much better than you feel now. But after that you should be fine. But again, you really should just wait it out, one meth run won't be worth it. And you might want yo go into more detail of your plans, because I might have over thought it and you're doing something much less crazy than what I am assuming. Best of luck, post MDMA depression is awful, any serotonin induced depression actually haha. Cheers dude!
 
Well this isn't something I'm planning it's something that already happened and dealing with, post-MDMA depression I've dealt with numerous times and I can tolerate, it's the combining the two that probably really did it this time. My one big question is will this anxiety/depression be permanent? think it'll only last like a couple weeks (it's been a week so far)? I'm not trying to fight the depression/anxiety with another drug, just wondering if this will ever go away. I probably hurt dopamine AND serotonin receptors which made me feel twice as worth then just one or the other I'm thinking.

I don't want you to think I lied to you if I'm wrong, but I am 75% sure that if you were fine before this happened, you should be fine pretty soon. Serotonin takes some time to get back to normal and dopamine slightly less but both together are pretty bad. Really things that were interesting for you before should come back into your life within another week max. Again this is from experience and other people's experiences, not a professional opinion. I'm almost, however, 100% certain that this is not permanent nor going to exceed any anything like a month or longer. But if you still feel depressed even after 2 weeks from now, definitely see a doctor about it because that's probably not the after effects from the meth/MDMA but rather yourself being depressed, I mean the depression would be from it, but not chemically induced I.E serotonin syndrome and whatnot, but rather from your brain thinking that only on the MDMA or meth is when you feel good never else, never sober. Again, my opinion from experience, not profession. Just wait another week or two max and then start thinking about visiting a psychiatrist or whatever it may be. Goodluck I really hope you get better man.
 
I can give you a first hand experience with this. One time I indulged in meth for 4 days straight. Even with that huge of use.. The depression and anxiety were brutal as fuck.. I mean uncontrollable crying, panic attacks.. Etc. But by day 4 I was feeling a lot better. It will almost certainly NOT be permanent.


I will admit, the first few days I tried to handle it sober with nothing but propranolol to help. By day 3 I decided to use the herbal route. I combined a low dose of benadryl, Valerian root, kava and a small dose of kratom. I wasnt looking to get fucked up just wanted relief. This combo helped immensely. In pursuit of harm reduction, I suggest staying away from stims. The reason you feel so depressed is your body is hurting. Your good chemicals are depleted.. So I'd avoid stims and try a low dose of kratom, Valerian or kava. If one alone isn't enough... Try adding another on. Make kratom the last choice since it has the most dependency potential. Also don't take kava with booze or if you have liver problems. The jury is out on whether the shit can damage your liver, but better safe than sorry.

Valerian is a good start though. Its very mild on your body and that's what you need right now. More highs and drugs will only complicate things. Especially more stims and alcohol. Also stay hydrated. Drinks lots of fluids.. And eat healthy. Try to also sit out in the sun. Trust me.. This helps immensely. Try laying in some grass under a tree but with some sun on you. This should improve your mood and remind you of how okay life is :)

Thanks you two for the help; you're right by day 7 I felt immensely better, I used Chamomile Tea for anxiety instead of benzos to kind of detox my body, and advice/company for depression from friends and it definitely eased up. I had a few alcoholic drinks although this past weekend to have fun with friends and get out. Definitely not using meth again, and probably only dabbling with molly once every few months to keep the serotonin up. Since I'm in Canada, the whole grass/sun thing is hard this time of year (you're lucky you're in SD, jealous...), also Kava is banned here. My chamomile tea was extra strength with Valerian in it (and have you heard of Marley's Mellow drinks, they work wonders).. anyway's thanks again. Cheers :)
