Tried meth, semi binged, fighting to recover, when does it end?

I completely regret having ever tried this drug and am stopping immediately. Unfortunately since I first used recently, I've used it daily and hardly slept. I've drank a lot of water during this time and also taken some multivitamins each day.

last Tuesday, first time trying it, i snorted it about 9 and then a little more later, no sleep.

Wednesday- went to work, never ate, smoked some and snorted some, ate a couple protein bars and some orange juice, slept 2 hours

Thursday - went to an appointment then slept 4 hours or so during the day, used again in the evening snort / smoke. got about 3 hours of sleep after taking some xanax. Decided I wanted to stop using after 1 more day, shoulda stopped right then.

Friday - went to work, came home, drank a protein shake, snorted / smoked several times up until 3am, no sleep.

saturday, cannot sleep still, chest feels tight and i cannot get comfortable trying to sleep, also experiencing the loss of interest in most normal enjoyable activities. drank protein shake. thougth i was gonna have a heart attack, went to ER around 8pm, they said i wasn't that i just stressed my body and its sore and gave me .5mg x20 xanax prescription to help me come down, slept about 7 hours

Sunday - more feeling like crap and unable to eat all day, filled prscription for xanax, slept from about 4pm til 7am.

Monday - still feel anxious / out of it, at a chicken salad sandwich and drank some naked juices, ate some chicken in the afternoon and slept from around 7 til 4am and coudlnt get back to sleep easy took more xanaxc, slept til alittle after 7.

Tuesday - Today, forced myself to work but i feel funky, i feel anxious still and like i have to move around or something, can't sit still and feel weird, i ate some lunch.

Any estimates on when i can plan to feel "normal" again?

It ends when you put the shovel down and stop digging.

If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.

Take it from a recovering meth addict, you'd better find yourself a program or recovery or you'll go down faster than you ever dreamed possible.

Any indication on the comedown ending?

I have no cravings for the drug, if anything i despise it with all my heart, i just want to be myself again, i only tried it last tuesday, did too much, hate it, stopped it, and am waiting to be myself.

i have ZERO cravings, ZERO, in fact this has made me rethink my alcohol / marijuana use as I'm starting to think just being sober and normal is such a valuable asset when i feel like this.

I can't define an end to the comedown for you. Each person is different.

Its been abt 8 wks since my last time using crack. My brain is still messed up. I mean, I have trouble feeling sincerly happy, and sticking with it. I get an idea, am extremely motivated, the a switch goes off and I don't want to do what I thought was a great idea minutes before. I mean, even like asking or telling someone something... I can't focus, I'm just really flighty in the brain... and I'm a girl who graduated with honors, and was on the dean's list. I'm scared to death the my head will NEVER return to normal. AND that was only with 2 months of using. A simple two months has done more damage than I would've ever imagined. I feel like crying sometimes because I can't find a purpose. I'm anxious, I'm happy, I'm sad, I'm frustrated, angry, motivated, and freaking lazy all wrapped into one.

I just pray.

Be careful

I would be so carfull mixing xanex with anything. Doctors will give you that stuff in a heartbeat but mixing benzos with other drugs or especially alchohol is very dangerous. From what I know I've detoxed off alot of different drugs but the combination of any benzo can kill you while you detox.

I think their right because the last time I detoxed in Feb I couldn't even barely stand. If I could have changed it I would have stayed on oxy's because for me that was easyer to come off of.

Please be carefull.

But I'm not trying to give you other ideas

Don't try oxy's either its tuff to get of those to. Addiction is the worst place to be almost always.
