why do you do this not trying to judge or criticize you but why? How did you get the hep c? I know its rare but I hope you share this with these people before you do sexual favors for them....
 
^ I do it because I'm on welfare due to sickness and can't afford to fund my habit with the small amount of money I get each week. Meth in my country is extremely expensive. I got Hep C from sharing a needle - it's transmitted through blood contact. And yes, the people I see are aware that I have Hep C. We use protection, even though it's extremely rare to catch Hep C via sex.
 
Something tells me the daily benzo's you take as prescribed has a lot to do with the amount of meth you are doing. :x I know when I pop even half a xanax bar I'll end up doing the rest of the bar as well as all the other pills I have and if alcohol is around ill end up drinking 4x the normal amount I would. It always seems when you are on benzo's that you aren't fucked up enough.

I don't know about that. I'm no longer abusing my benzos cos I'm on a weekly pick-up, where I'm only given one week's worth at a time. And I'm very tolerant to the dose I'm prescribed, so it's not sedating me or causing me to need more meth. But I have finally started the process of weaning myself off the benzos... I've started with the diazepam, and will then taper down the clonazepam.
 
I have seen psychiatrists here in CDN write methylphenidate and DL-amp as replacement therapy for both cocaine and methamphetamine. But I've heard of it with proof (i.e. seeing the pill bottle in person) only 3 times. Its very rare.

Seeing your progess with sedatives for WD's however is good. I wish you all the best luck, and I hope you wind up free of both stimulant and benzo dependance!
 
^ Thanks for the encouragement! I'll be seeing my case manager at the drug & alcohol service early next week, and he said we can discuss medication again. I think he's finally realising that dexies could be beneficial for me, especially since my meth use has skyrocketed over the last month. I'm back to using almost daily, barely eating or sleeping, having periods of psychosis, and all that jazz. Dexies will definitely be the lesser of two evils.
 
Be careful, Dextroamphetamine has a about 30% lower MG potency and less 5HT release then MA, but none the less, it can just as readily lead to psychosis and binging. You'll have to make an effort to maintain and taper down, or it will just replace MA almost directly with the same problems and ill effects.

But if you really desire to kick it, and work on it, you can do it, and I again wish you the best. Keep the goal in sight, and remember to not let the means cloud that goal.

Well, if I do get a prescription for dexies, I'm sure it will be very closely controlled. I'd probably be on weekly or even daily pick-ups from the pharmacy.
 
ah, is different here.

for adhd, I get 180 at once and we're allowed refills even on scheduled substances here. (I get 6 mos at once) so I mistook the potential for misuse based on local customs.

hope it all goes well at your doc tomorrow!
