Stimulants speed and muscle spasms

[misspharmacyashley]

i use methamphetamine for about a week out of every month. i drink plenty of water with electrolytes, take a muti-vitamin everyday, sleep at least an hour or two every other day (or when i can) and try to eat (mostly fruit, since i can't stand the thought of food) as much as i can during those binges.

my question is, usually around the 3rd day on i get really horrible muscle spasms (a "charley horse") in the bottom of my feet and calfs, sometimes 4-5 of them back to back. it really, really sucks and hurts like hell! i've looked everywhere to try and find a way to remedy it but everywhere just says "drink water" and "stretch the area". i do these and it seems to just happen anyway.

is this normal? what can i do? is it just my body's reaction to the drug? should i just deal with it?

i know the obvious answer is "stop doing speed" but i like it and i really look forward to my weeks every month.

also, my bender for this month just ended yesterday and i had just one this time. now, today that same muscle is still twitching (not painfully though) in my foot.

has this ever happened to any of you?

(feel free to move this if it's in the improper area or point me in the right direction if it's been covered.)

thanks!

Supplement with a good magnesium supplement.

Not the cheap oxide from the store... The magnesium in your multi is most likely not adequate and of the oxide form.

Go online and get magnesium citrate or a magnesium chelate such as glycinate.

Trust me it's a big deal with meth. Will also help prevent tolerance, which will lead to you doing slightly less, which will help in itself.

I also advise taking ALA and vitamin C... for other reasons.. and maybe circumin or green tea or ginger for inflammation.

And jesus christ man, fucking eat and sleep. That's the biggest problem. Excitotoxicity starts at about the 24hour mark... have fun...
