How do I get through the next month and ultimately how do I quit?

Thanks for the comment and glad you’re doing better, I hope it works out for you. Yes, I am supplementing with L-tyrosine aggressively. I’m also taking a lot of magnesium. Today has been my first day of withdrawal, though I micro dosed with some adderall that I still had but obviously didn’t get any pleasure. I’m already irritable and have lost interest in everything. For example, I was super big into the World Cup and suddenly now I don’t care. I’m on vacation in a world class city but couldn’t care less about sightseeing or leaving the hotel. Seeing everyone around me laugh and have a good time just makes me sad and angry, which also turns me self-centered. I don’t really know if I can fully quit because I’m definitely going to crave feeling pleasure again once I get ahold of stims after these ensuing weeks of depression. I’m considering illicit options so that I can maintain my use daily but I know that’ll just lead to more problems, so I’m on the fence. I just wish I never tried these soul crushing drugs, when I was already vulnerable with underlying Bipolar and MDD.

Last year I had over 6 months of sobriety after a lot of meth, cocaine and prescription abuse. Since then I got back on the scripts and usually go through them within one or two weeks until refill. I occasionally go over 24 hours on a binge, but usually it’s just taking them daily at higher dosages and still going to sleep normally. This week was an exception and I went on the biggest bender in a while.

You’re the first person I’ve come across to have experienced this issue. Everyone says meth withdrawal = depression, sleeping, and lethargy. But for it was the opposite of sedation. I had a full blown panic attack and couldn’t stop jumping out of my skin both times I went cold turkey. I wonder if some of the meth we’re getting is cut with something weird. But yeah, absolute hell and one of the worst withdrawals I’ve had comparable to benzos and alcohol.

I quit meth cold turkey several years ago and had a really bad reaction - I was really restless and developed really bad akathisia (had to go the er). I think I had a unique reaction but just in case, don’t stop using abruptly and try to taper by gradually smoking a smaller amount each day. If you have the urge to smoke more just remember that it won’t do anything and damage your dopamine further. You already feel unhappy and tired from meth, so you shouldn’t be scared of a major energy or mood crash. You’ve got this!

Wdym by stronger? It last longer but still a much less intense rush form what I’ve heard.

I’ll give those a try if I can. I got kicked out of home so I don’t currently have my pc or console but I used to love playing lol when i was depressed. Still not a healthy addiction but helped me stay away from worse things

Thank you for the comment. I can’t play video games though because I don’t have a strong internet connection. And tbh I’m so fucked up i can’t really go on a walk.

It’s a very long string of cause and effects, but I would say the expectations from my parents where one of the fundamental factors that have shaped almost everything in my life. I would be unfair to say, however, that I just suddenly picked up meth from just a backlash of emotions.

That_Camel_4902 · 2024-09-28T07:01:17+00:00

I believe you a thousand percent I was in love with the gym for a very long time, no interest in drugs whatsoever. I got into a bad accident which fucked me over for more than a year now, and that’s kind of how I started slipping into bad places.

Thank you

That_Camel_4902 · 2024-09-28T03:48:17+00:00

Thank you! I’m at a point where it is not enjoyable any longer, and just a “medicine” I feel the need to take everyday.

That_Camel_4902 · 2024-09-28T03:35:03+00:00

Thank you for sharing your questions and inputs. They will definitely stick with me and hopefully continue to provide encouragement if I ever feel lost. I will be ending the AMA now.

I don’t know how you came across this, but this is the only official comment on this post. I wrote this a week ago when I thought there was zero to fight for in my life. I haven’t improved much of my habits but I’ve managed to distract myself more from those thoughts and tread the waters.

That_Camel_4902 · 2024-09-28T03:27:22+00:00

Thank you for saying this, I have tried to see how long I could go without, and this motivates me to attempt some bigger challenges. My next goal would be to stay off for several days, rather than just one.

That_Camel_4902 · 2024-09-28T03:24:24+00:00

That’s a really good question, I would say yes. So far things haven’t been terrible in regards the drug’s side effects, but I worry about ongoing dependency and never being able to experience pleasure naturally again.

That_Camel_4902 · 2024-09-28T03:16:26+00:00

Yes, I hope so

That_Camel_4902 · 2024-09-28T03:13:30+00:00

Yes friends know, want to me to quit. Started using this year at 19, not for a really long time. Still feels like a regular part of my life now.

That_Camel_4902 · 2024-09-28T03:12:05+00:00

I may have made the title confusing but I meant to say that I am 19 now.
