Strange meth withdrawal symptoms

If you can, source some dopamine agonist. Meth is a dopamine and norepinephrine releaser, the pleasurable effects are a combination thereof but more problematic is dopamine. Lack of NE makes you sleepy and slightly depressed while lack of DA, depending on the individual, can induce a plethora of mental and even physical symptoms. Memantine, ropinirole etc. they help but at the other side will prolong the whole stuff. Memantine less so, as it's also a NMDA antagonist. Was the meth you were using pure, crystalline? I too get calming effects from stims and rage on rebound but 1+ grams is indeed a freaking lot, it was a month for me to take 1g meth and still got depressive withdrawal after a few weeks.

Alternatively benzodiazepines but I don't feel good recommending them as they can be very addictive themselves.
 
I’m prescribed Xanax and Adderall. Decades of add use maybe behind high tolerance do u

think? Yeah it’s pure crystals. I’ve gone all day with just a cotton shot and could’ve gotten more tonight but only 0.25 worth and I couldn’t come up with a reason to explain missing money to my husband. I’m ok atm, not dizzy yet but I’m afraid it’s coming. I’ll have to Google the memantine and ropininole I have no idea what they are ( amino acids?). Finished my 12 hr shift and have off tomorrow. I’m sure I’ll spend it scheming for money. Good sign though maybe I didn’t say fuck it tonight and just spend the money? Right? I’m dead inside and hate who I’ve become. Now reality’s gonna hit too cuz I haven’t been out in awhile. Are you (staff members) recovered addicts or like functional users if u don’t mind me asking just curious

That "dead inside" feeling will not last forever, I promise.

As for the mods, some of us are recovering, some are still active addicts, some are just occasional users. Personally, I am a recovering addict, alcohol and opiates mainly.
 
Yeah. Well I appreciate you’re input. Though I suppose it’s ur job to reply lol :/ not a great night went to my old drugless (or far too many drugs) self destructive classic of picking my almost healed face. No meth bugs I’ve never gotten them. Just picking, thinking I’m getting somn bad out which yeah is not sound thought. I went to a na meeting the other day but couldn’t go in. I look like such a fucking junkie. It’s hard to go anywhere. So therefore I really appreciate you’re responses cuz my counselor I feel is disgusted with me and no one else knows the truth. I’m glad n3ophy u are recovered.
 
“Some Weird Sin” -the Ig. If you don’t know it you should check it out it’s a brilliant song. An ode to all us misfits with bad habits. I’m sure Iggy is Jesus. No doubt about that . WWID? Lolol.

Everybody needs a bad habit. Some need two. I feel 0 shame of my 1 to 2mg a day bupre use. Could and has been worse. High doses of everyday meth start to get taxing. Good luck.

Ahh that’s telieving. BupeWhat is what got me back into orbit in the first place. At the time, he relentlessly and eventually I ended up moving and now I’m just a mess. But now she’s begging to get back on Suboxone, or at least she were last time she talks to me.

I know your pain. I’ve been in the same boat many times. Just want to hide away until it heals, but it takes forever and lif has to happen. 😢
 
Oh the good old meth withdrawal. Been there couple of times and I have to agree with your first post, that everybody says it's easy, but for me it really wasn't. Good news is the worst part last only like first 1-2 weeks. After that it's just down to cravings and boredom. I got through the first part only once and that was only because I was locked up in a mental institution for 2 weeks. I wouldn't be able to do it at home - I tried many times.

Ultimately though what is the real fight and what for me was the reason I started using again was the complete lack of motivation and total inability to work when clean. I lasted 3 months, then found a job and in order to not get fired and keep the job, I had to start using again. Don't know if that's because of my ADHD or I just wasn't clean long enough, but I'm not getting clean again, until I have enough money to live from for at least several months, because I know that if I ever quit again in order to stay clean I can't be forced to work until my motivation comes back naturally.
 
Poor baby :( I feel ya. I abandoned my family to go on a 2 week bender of diladud IV. Now im on like day 6 of detox. I was and am super sick. Lucky I have a friends couch who let me detox before I go back to my family. I feel awful about it. I can only imagine how hard this is for you. U have to stop tho. U have to admit to your partner. I had to come clean. U cant really detox without telling the people in your life. They are gonna think your losing it if it u detox without telling them. I dunno much about meth withdrawal but I'm sure its fucking hell. U gotta do this tho. <3
