Speed Dilemma: Would like some advice Please

[smuttyangel]

Hi

SWIM has been using speed (uk) on and off for a couple weeks..problem is that SWIM has a 7 month old baby, 3 year old and is having to get up rather early for baby - this means that SWIM has felt like she must take a bomb (parachute) to keep reasonably awake to deal with baby...however, the last of the speed is nearly gone - SWIM also has parttime job so has to be awake for this too... Any ideas for reducing dosage or minimising crash if SWIM stops now? Bearing in mind SWIM hasn't got the option of 'sleeping it off!'

Many thanks guys

SWIY needs to sleep it off, there is no way around this. When the speed is gone SWIY will need to sleep. Do you have any family or friends that could help by babysitting or is there anyway SWIY can get time off work? How often is SWIY sleeping at the moment? If SWIY was to only take speed at the beginning of each day, with 2 kids and a part time job SWIY should feel tired enough for a good night sleep by the end of the day. But the morning SWIY has to get up without it will still be difficult..... SWIY could try using weaker replacements at this stage like coffee or energy drinks.

SWIM knows what you mean with the comedown - it's emotionally devasting

maybe spaced apart doses throughout the day? if you feel shitty coming down, it may be eased by looking forward to the next dose...smoke a cigarette (or 5) if you smoke. That always helps a comedown.

Xanax and weed Works perfectly for swim, be careful not to swollow too meny tho.

Thanks for the replies so far - SWIM has taken on board your advice, but SWIM does not like weed, nor has access to the downer someone suggested - she does have codine or co-codamol 30/500mg on prescription, other problem is SWIM has a nasty cough - very dry and irritating, having to force the cough out or put up with FEELING wants 2 cough.

SWIM has been eating as much as possible, fluids are consisting of mainly Red Bull - maybe water would be better for hydration. Not sure if Red bull is a good idea anyway cos of caffeine ........

So bugger it

cold turkey it is! lol

swiy def. needs to be drinking plenty of water. thats going to help wash out any unwanted toxins in your body... swim could go on and on about how important it is, but the fact is, get red bull when you need a boost, and drink water through out the day. swim thinks swiy would feel better if she did that.

lots of vitamin b6, this will replenish the dopamine and give SWIY a slower and more gradual comedown, SWIF felt like it did anyway.
