Not sleeping for days....

[CABS205]

I haven't used Crystal Meth for like a month and a half. I did some on Thursday and again on Friday. And these past few days, I've slept a total of 2 and a half hours. If I usually smoke a couple hours before, I can sleep. BUT, I can't. This normally doesn't happen. What's wrong???

[speedqueen]

Be bloody careful. When I didnt sleep for 3 days I ended up getting amphetamine psychosis and nearly going completely doo-lally! Don't take any more til you've slept. You tried takin sleepers? Even over the counter stuff works for me.

This might have happenned since your tolerance for it was gone....who
knows? The last time SWIM could not sleep from meth weed and
alcohol did the trick. Be carefull with the alcohol or you'll end up
just really alert and really drunk. As mentioned above try some
OTC sleeping aids like diphenhydramine.

Just let it takes its course. Eventually you will feel the comedown and you will drop like a rock. Adding sleeping pills to the mix isn't always a good idea. Just relax and smoke some weed if ya got it. This is common with methamphetamine....depending on quality swim has done one or two lines before and been up for 2 days before dropping.

[tweakerfrommars]

Maybe, but in my expierence when able to stay up really long periods of time for relatively small doses, the last few hours were usually anxiety/paranoia filled, and just spent wishing you could go to sleep.


I would personally probably just keep doing more at regular intervals to keep restoring the high and then finally dropping from being too strung out.

Amphetamine psychosis is a form of psychosis which can result from amphetamine or methamphetamine use. Typically it appears after large doses or chronic use, although in rare cases some people may become psychotic after relatively small doses. Other chemicals or drugs which similarly increase dopamine function (such as cocaine and L-DOPA) can produce similar psychotic states. Because of this, the term stimulant psychosis is sometimes used in preference.

Amphetamine psychosis can include delusions, hallucinations and thought disorder. This is thought to be largely due to the increase in dopamine activity in the mesolimbic pathway of the brain caused by amphetamine-like drugs, although other factors such as chronic sleep deprivation may also play a part. The link between amphetamine and psychosis is one of the major sources of evidence for the dopamine hypothesis of psychosis.

The link between amphetamine and psychosis was first made by Young and Scoville in 1938 and was originally considered to be a rare condition. As amphetamine use increased after World War II, largely due to the widespread use of amphetamine compounds in nasal decongestant and dieting preparations, it became clear that chronic amphetamine use often led to psychotic symptoms.

Hallucinations are frequently reported in chronic amphetamine users, with over 80% of users reporting the presence of hallucinatory experiences, typically as visual or auditory experiences. Delusions, paranoia, fears about persecution, hyperactivity and panic are also reported as the most common features.

Concurrent to having delusions and hallucinations, chronic amphetamine users may also display stereotyped, repetitive and seemingly purposeless movements, known as 'motor stereotypies' or more colloquially as 'knick knacking' or being 'hung-up'. These may include examining, sorting, obsessing over mental puzzles or games, repetitious pattern drawing and drafting.

One particular manifestation of psychosis commonly associated with amphetamine use is delusional parasitosis or Ekbom's syndrome, where a person falsely believes themselves to be infested with parasites.

so would xanex be safe to take after being up for a couple days snorting and smoking???

[MaFi0s0]

BUMP i have xanax and also DXM what would be best to take if i was to find myself sleepless?

[asystole]

Don't take DXM to sleep... It may work, but it's a stupid way to do it.If you have been amped for a few days, it's even stupider. Meth and DXM don't mix... do a search. The combination creates a huge strain on the cardiovascular system and can lead to serious health complications.

Oooooooh yeah, i have had that amphetamine psycosis... once me and a
friend of mine took a SHITLOAD of adderall (yes, i know... wimpy
amphetamines....) and kept redosing every 6 or 7 hours about another
40mgs... im suprised we didnt seriously get fucked up. We didnt sleep,
we only ate one piece of pizza the entire time, and we still had a very
high-energy lifestyle. Going to concerts, school, doing other drugs,
etc. This entire time of redosing/not sleeping lasted for approximately
10 days straight... which sucks.



Eventually, my friend smoked a bunch of weed and passed out cold, and i
went to school, and had a PSYCOTIC episode and started (sorry for the
details...) going to the bathroom on myself (fortunately, i had run
into the bathroom by then... still sucked though. I believe the cause
was from having HORRIBLE HORRIBLE nutrition for the past week), crying
(wasnt sad or anything, i think my mind had just snapped though),
laughing at nothing, seeing little flashes of light turn into faries
and stuff, and my pencil turned into a mushroom and i thought it was
poisionous so i threw it at my friend sitting across the room. Finally,
i went home and PASSED OUT on my bed for approximately 29 hours and
woke up with a feeling like "holy shit.....". Needless to say it wasnt
fun.



The reason I mention this story? Just as a simple moral of not to get
strung out on amphetamines and that sleep is quite possibly your best
friend. So instead of just redosing because you want that extra buzz to
get through the day, just know that youll be fine without it. Thats all
i have to say.... sorry if i got WAYYYY off the subject there... just a
tad bit excited that this is my 200th post.



Lol



Peace

Try to find/get some K-pins I use those for my come downs or when I want to sleep they seem to be the best thing I've found but of the 2 you listed I'd take xanax.
