For a serious bender I'll usually stay up all night on them, then they're wear off in the morning, sometime before noon, but I'll still be too awake to sleep until that night, so like 2 days awake. I may also feel a little off and have that "sucked dry stomach" feeling and feel dirty because I usually smoke a lot and sweat more than usual. I've only done meth maybe 3 times and I never felt any addiction setting in.

That sounds like me. Usually I'll start partying friday or saturday night, keep going till sunrise, come down in the morning at recovery, then head home and bum around till I pass out some time the next afternoon/night. On the rare occasion I go out two nights in a row, I usually stop dosing and try and recover during the day between, it's rare for me to go on a 2+ day bender, I find the crash afterwards just isn't worth it.

Meth addiction is something that creeps up on you. It's definately not 'one hit and you're hooked' like they say. It's once you start using fairly frequantly that you begin to have issues. The problem is you try it once, don't feel any addiction, then keep using because it's so fun/conveniant. By the time you realise you have a problem, the brain has already made the 'meth = happyfuntime' connection, and you'll start craving when you try to stop.

I was lucky and pulled myself out relatively early in the cycle, I didn't realise I'd have trouble stopping until I forced myself to take a 2 month break because it was starting to effect my mood on a daily basis, and I was starting to use more heavily. I was also lucky in that I didn't start smoking it until just before that break, and snorting is a lot less more-ish.

Don't you find the short duration of coke a bit of a pain? Having to constantly redose must get irritating, especially if you're in a social situation, and it would be hell on your nose.

A little X tip for you is to get this over the counter supplement called 5-HTP, a serotonin precursor. It basically increases serotonin production, but it doesn't release it to your body so you don't feel better, it's just that when you do take X, you'll release more serotonin. A lot of X users will take it daily for like 2 weeks before they drop to make the high better, then the days following they drop 2 a day to get their serotonin right again, thereby reducing the depression.

Sadly, 5htp isn't available OTC in Aussieland. I do make use of the dopamine equivelant (l-tyrosine) when I'm coming down off meth, and I find it helps a lot. Not that it erases the comedown, but it smooths it out and makes the next day or two a lot more manageable. I've been meaning to order some 5htp online, but it's not really practical. I limit myself to once a month or so with MDMA anyway (in theory, in practice it ends up closer to every 3 weeks or so on average), so the comedowns usually aren't 'that' terrible.

Oxy has such a gentle comedown it's not even funny. When it wears off you'll just feel like laying down, you'll be SUPER relaxed, bed is really comfortable, and you'll just fall asleep. You will sleep crazy, too. Sober, I'm a very deep but quick sleeper, average about 4-6 hours a night. The night after Oxy it's usually 9-11 hours.

Sounds so much more fun than sitting there sweaty, sketchy, sore, your brain running at 10000 miles an hour, trying desperately to pass out. Do want.

Sadly, I wouldn't even know where to begin trying to obtain opiates. I can get anything club/rave related with a little effort, but opiates don't really circle around in that scene. The only dealer I know who probably could have managed it got owned by cops a month or two back and is now in jail.
