Well you might have seen my last thread ( http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/threads/609932-Help-please-help-me-fast!-(DXM)/page2 )
So basicly I had a 2 week long hangover on dxm then the side effekts started showing and no I dont feel drowsy any more nor am I disey. I think pretty much all physical side effekts have passed away.

I just get terrible depressions anybody got a good Idea what I could do against it and how long it will take until they fade?

I have heard of a 15 year old boy (Im 14) that had the same problems and he had long term depresions I think for about 3 months or longer.

I have tried hanging out with my friends as much as possible and it helps but they cant stay over here the whole day. Any Idea what I can still do exsept for spending as much time with other people?

Update: 03.23.2012
The depreshions kicked back in. But this time their difrent. I have no reason for life. I just cant find one. I have a great life other people would say but I hate it I dont know why but I just have depreshion on the out look at life :(


Thanks in advance for any kind of reply !

Just take care of yourself, pick up a few books to read, learn an instrument. Try and take things day by day rather than worrying about the future.
 
Sorry I have a hard time thinking of good suggestions for you, the SRI effects of DXM typically relieve depression or at least temporarily but on rare occasions this effect apparently backfires or so it seems. I'd say for a while I would give it time to try and let your brain chemistry reset itself again. If nothing changes in the course of months you may want to find professional help.

I don't think I would like to encourage a 14 year old to try self-medicating with something or other.

Also, would you like me to move this thread to 'The Dark Side' ? They may be able to have more experience to support you...

Um yes your very right usally it does work against depresions. But I also read a lot that the side effeks casue nause, wiered dreams, drowsiness, depresions, dissness, vometing, muscle aks, all types of food tate like salty tap water (I atually had this one, very strange), fast reflex and a few other things I experinced about half of it and I have read many reports in whcih teens in my age had depresions like long term depresions....

Yes that would be very nice
 
I used to suffer the same thing after using DXM. Like, I'd be OUT for a couple days up to a week. The only thing that ever did it for me, non drug wise, was sleep and lots of rest to recharge... That is, until I found PIRACETAM!!!

Use piracetam to block much of the negative side effect of DXM (it's really amazing how much it can help - totally eliminates all the negative side effects related to DXM hang over, etc, so now when I use DXM I get only the best parts of the experience, imho opinion at least... then again, I'm trying not to use the stuff too often. Never thought I'd fall in love with DXM, that's for sure... :\)

Good luck OP!!!! For now all you can really do is just be good to your body and get extra sleep. You'll be through it soon enough!!!! Get some piracetam my friend!!!
 
can you abuse this subtance? does it change ypur state of being at the time such as the first pletau of dxm?
I dont want to take any drugs and really I dont think its a good idea to let a 14year old self medicate....

and if i were you i would stop dxm and go over to something not as hardcore. what i meen with hardcore is the way is the way damges you.
ketamin is not as dangerous and das not rape your brain as bad as dxm but still has simular effekts. Or just cut it go to rehab because you have to have a good reason for your self to stop because if its just a mild reson the cravings of your mind will be bigger then your reason to stop
 
Hi lars, and welcome.<3 Some of the advice that you got on your original thread was very good--especially taking supplements such as fish oil or cod liver oil and eating a very healthy diet. Beyond making sure that your diet is healthy and that you are getting enough sleep and staying clean, I think that mindfulness training could be very helpful. The reason I suggest this is that mindfulness requires that we train our minds to live in the present rather than projecting into the future. It sounds to me that you had a very intense experience and then the adjustment period afterwards has thrown you into somewhat of a panic that what you are experiencing now will be permanent. This describes what it is in case you are unfamiliar with it.

I hope that you continue with your resolve to leave drugs alone for the near future. (I got that from your previous thread). You are very young and your brain is still developing. You are also still working out ways to deal with your emotions in a healthy way, you are still developing habits and your own way of doing things.

If your depression doesn't lift, maybe you should consider talking to your family about seeing a therapist. More than anything, though, it seems that you need to relax about what is happening right now. My sense is that it will fade and you will regain your balance. <3
 
ketamine is dangerous in its own right, check out ketamine and bladder damage. DXM isn't that bad for you physically but psychologically it can be an entirely different story.

in any case, DXM would always cure my depression but leave me kind of fucked up in my head. The best thing to fix this is to sleep, eat normally, do things without drugs and generally just try to forget about it. I don't think you actually caused yourself any permanent damage, when i get sick i take tons of dxm over a week or two and i am fine.

it's not a good idea to let a 14 year old self-medicate, so if you really can't get over this then see a doctor, tell you parents. I wouldn't tell them you were abusing cough medicine but rather that you are just depressed and feel strange and can't figure out why. The only downside to this approach is that you may end up getting medicated out your ass when it wasn't necessary but help is there if you need it.

If you are depressed, try to figure out the reasons you feel depressed, find new hobbies, meet new people, try things you haven't tried before (other than drugs). You're only 14, take up an instrument, i wish i had started when i was 14, playing music is one of the few things i genuinely enjoy and it has made my life better in many ways. Piracetem may be a good idea but at 14, you may have trouble procuring it without the help of a parent. Google search it for more info.

good luck, don't let the idea that you are permanently damaged hold you down.

Wow thank you so much for that reply. You don't know how much that just lightend up my day. Yes I feel it is getting better from day to day. My short term memory is getting better as well to. I belive my body wasent able to break down my day right and thats why I had all the ocward dreams on that day becasue after saturday everything began to better up. Sometimes I still feel a little drowsie or unconcentrated but its getting better. Their shound't be any long term damages I meen I only went to the 2. pletau and I took it in healthy distances (2 weeks). Yeah I have felt that going in the sauna helps a lot to. The only real reason I dont want to go to the docter is becasue I dont wan't want my police record to say "took disoiatives with the age of 14". And I am not scared from telling my parents becasue tey would be mad at me but they would juge me with it a life ong and I have had verious drug problems before with alcohol and Cannabis.
Still thank you that really helped a lot <3 .

Thank you for this wonderful reply that was really helpful. It really makes me feel better to know that people care about these kinds of things. Yes but what would you rather have life long brain damage (living like a vegetable) or blatter problems (my grndfather has blatter problems all he has to do is atach his .... with a little platic pipe which is connected to his lage.

If they gave me any medicatins I simply would only pretend to take them. I would ask the docter how I would help it
without drugs. I think before I will wait a few months. THeir are no reasons for the depresions like after my friend left from my house I felt like great sunday nigcht I have nothing to do and I jsut felt bad for really no reason. I have hobbys lots of them I play the piano I play tennis twice a week and I do flips twice a week as well + I got my mom to take me with to yoga which would probably be pretty helathy because you sweat which is detoxicating. Plus is puts you in a good mood after wards and you get your back alot of your flexibility.
 
Hmm Id liem to say that I dint have any depresions today I just have had diarea for the last 2 days but all the symtoms are slowly breaking down. Im happy to be more than halfway normal again :) thank you to everyone who helped <3!!!
 
Still having the problems with the depreshions and having depersonalysation aswell. I have a anxity disorder now :(
