Drugs Cause Me To Lose Three Days Straight, & I Think I'm Gonna Crack Soon

by sleeplessinhouston
(Houston, TX)

Ok so here we go. Bath salts. A harmless smelly crystal that causes great relaxation in the tub. Well not so much anymore. Bath salts now mean something different to kids these days, and unfortunately I and a buddy of mine was curious what this legal high would be like. WE had tried almost everything Houston's drug trade had to offer, and we aren't fiends in any way, so we never stick with the same thing for too long to build up tolerance to what we may want to try again later, or to damage our bodies too severely in one area.

Now that that is said, many if not all real drugs cause some kind of sleep side effect. Most lucys { hallucinogenics } will cause you to lose one night of sleep, which isn't that big of a deal as long as your using in moderation and you do it at times and in places where you can recover.

Bath salts on the other hand, not only make it impossible to relax and get comfortable to allow sleep to even come to you, but it also blocks the brains ability to process certain chemicals, unfortunately for me sleep falls in this category of blocked process.

I took the bath salts two nights ago, and ive been shaky and paranoid for the entire time since i stopped putting more in. Now i realize that the hospital or my doctor could help with more medication, but i just want a good natural night asleep in my bed. ANY ADVICE?

I've been downing saratonin capsules from CVS like crazy, but i dont want to become dependent on them when they aren't even putting me to sleep, only calming me down. I need to go back to work eventually. help


A useful outside resource: It is common for drug addicts, especially those who are hooked on stimulants, to experience sleeping problems, which treatment programs at drug addiction treatment centers should be able to help with.

Try talking to a Naturopath. But I really think you have to revamp your definition of not being a drug fiend. Try jogging - a natural high.
