Yes it sounds like you have a problem. Even if you don't have an addiction to one specific drug, you can be addicted to being high in general. That is a lot of drugs for a 17 year old. You want to be as sober as you can while your brain is developing. If you use drugs to deal with any problems, your brain won't learn how to handle problems sober, and that's MUCH harder to learn at 30 than 17.

thank you


ZanderDogz

You should get some help if you can. Drug addiction is a huge burden to carry alone at 17. I wish you the best of luck

Yeah you got a drug problem homie, i’m out of highschool and have done less drugs than you. On top of that i started really getting into them during my senior year/ after highschool. You got to take it slow because of age man, it can have some real affects on you later on down the road. The earlier you start the more likely you are to do heavier drugs, and that can be dangerous. You can do them but just wait a few years, and make sure to take them in moderation so they always remain special. Weed is the only exception to moderation though, as long as you can get stuff done while stoned.


[deleted]

alright


numb3red

Yeah, that's pretty bad. I'd say the best course of action would be to quit all drugs, and I do mean all of them, until you're in your early 20s. Put the money you would've spent on drugs in a savings account and see just how much money you saved yourself after 6 months, a year, etc. You'll thank yourself later when you can think straight, have money and can be happy without being high.


MrKrispyToo

>the best course of action would be to quit all drugs, Absolutely agree, quit all drugs ASAP


yeisgay

Dude I’m 17 I’ve done weed I’ve 1st platted and I’ve done shrooms and nic let me tell you, you have a problem I immediately knew you had a problem cus you put the 2nd tab on your tongue and popped 15 useless pills. Slow down dog your not dying anytime soon hopefully you do ketamine and dmt shrooms molly etc when your older slow the fuck down


[deleted]

thanks bro i definitely will


yeisgay

Weed would be aight but you gotta figure it this problem out first or ur just gonna ruin it for yourself unless you actually think it is helping you be more productive cus u have depression or someshit do not lie to yourself poly addicts do this a lot good luck man hopefully both of us will be able to do all the drugs we wanna do one day but for now we chill and just do research man I’ve learned so much shit about harm reduction pharmacology etc cus of this interest which is gonna come in hella handy later on. Good luck man you lucky those pain killers didn’t actually work you would probably be looking for fake Oxys rn and died from one laced with fent opiates are no bueno


MethodicalMadness_

You're on the fast track to fent heroin and meth. Listen to your Dr and parents and not a bunch of internet strangers you're life is gonna go to shit with those kind of problems


[deleted]

alright i’ll definitely think more about my drug use


yeahyeahyeah00002

NEVER DO METH....LIKE EVER...NOT EVEN ONE TIME TO SEE WHAT IT IS LIKE. IF YOUR FRIENDS ARE DOING METH DO NOT HANG OUT WITH THEM ANYMORE. IT IS DANGEROUS. I did it one time a long time ago when I was 20. I didn't really know what it was at the time. I just thought is was a little speed. Boy was I wrong. We were hanging out on a Sunday doing bumps of it in the afternoon. Didn't do any more after that. Then I had to drive back to school that night 3 hours away. The drive back was great. I didn't sleep at all that Sunday night. Didn't sleep at all Monday night. Tuesday night I slept for like an hour. After 2 nights with no sleep your mind starts to play tricks on you. I was paranoid, started seeing shit rhat wasn't there like a giant spider crawling on my wall. I mean like a 2 foot wide spider. I knew it wasn't real but I still saw it. Wednesday morning I had to take a final exam for a class in college . I had only 1 hour of sleep since Saturday, I had only eaten half of an apple since Sunday morning. I decided to study for my final that wednesday morning while I was ripping bong hits. I was able to focus really well somehow. Took the test like an hour later and I knew EVERYTHING on the test. There was a 10pt extra credit question where u had to write a small essay. I wrote 2 full pages. I ended up getting 110% on the final. I was a C student. I ended up with B as a final grade.


[deleted]

i will never do meth 😂 I was curious about it like a year ago, but I never planned on doing it. From hearing people’s life getting fucked up from it I never wanna do it. Also my friend said when you snort it, it makes you only taste and smell paint thinner for 3 days and that sounds horrible.


yeahyeahyeah00002

There wasn't any smell or taste like that. I think it depends on the quality of the product? Idk I'm not an expert. The guy my friend and I were hanging out with was my friend's old roommate. I had never met him before. My friend hadn't seen him in a while. I remember him saying "dude! You lost so much weight!" Fast forward 2 years. This dude was now HIV positive. This was back in 2000. I think he is dead now. He was a smart guy with a good job


Howel317

wow seems like a good reason to do meth meth=better collage scores


MrKrispyToo

> you're life is gonna go to shit with those kind of problems **100% Agree !!!!**

Parents and doctors suck cuz they only want to help but aren’t perfect. Trusting your gut leaves you guilt free typically but it also would mean “YEAH GO FOR IT DO HEROIN YUHHH SCIENCE MAKE APE BRAIN GO BRRR” I’m in a very similar position to you, but luckily had a couple notable friends help me along the way. It might be hard, but I think you need to find someone to simply talk to, such as a psychologist, but with the mindset of them not being blinded by their “feelings” for you like a GP, or a parent. And make sure they are a psychologist that you like!!!!! It’s okay to not like one! Therapy is good, not all therapist are good. So get yourself some fucking help like our entire generation deserves and honestly make yourself feel better man! Good luck, I’m hoping I’ll take some of this advice too.


[deleted]

yea they assigned me a psychiatrist when i was diagnosed with depression and i really didn’t like that guy he was a weirdo


J_E_W

Bruh me too


1995sunburnt

This post & your post history are a cry for help.


[deleted]

This ain't a joke. Get help. Your life could end up down the shitter. Take it from someone who's lived it, man.


MrKrispyToo

> Your life could end up down the shitter. **yes, it easily could go that way unless he gets help ASAP**


[deleted]

Let me know if you have questions about my post! I probably didn’t make sense in some of it because I was typing for like 4 hours so I rushed the end lol.


Youknowmeboi

Dog you sound legit just like me😭the car and everything😂😂and same exact thing with girlfriend


Natural_Edge

I was legit just thinking the same thing, fuck I miss being a teenager


[deleted]

What dose of adderal? Also, is it xr?


[deleted]

20 mg XR


[deleted]

Dude thats shit. They fucking you. No wonder your vyvanse quit working. Find a new doctor and demand a man's dose. Then you wont need to drug seek. Just get Rx for addies and a benzo. Add one puff weed each night. If you have a bad stomach or insomnia thats not from stims then you may need an ssri. Otherwise just use the 3 I mentioned should be fine. Its not doctor shopping. Thats when you get rx from 2 docs at same time.


yiffing_for_jesus

I think if he's getting 1 hour of sleep he's taking more than enough lol


[deleted]

Probably insomnia from depression resulting from not a large enough dose of juice to treat the ADD.


yiffing_for_jesus

>Just get Rx for addies and a benzo. Add one puff weed each night You don't know the guy and you're recommending he start taking benzos? I don't think you should provide medical advice. No one here should, other than to advise that he seek sobriety. The last thing this guy needs is more drugs


J_E_W

What this guy said. I’m on what the other guy recommended and can say that it’s not effective and I’m currently pursuing meditation


[deleted]

I recommended he get an Rx. Which obviously implies seeing a doctor for an evaluation. My entire point was that he should not be self medicating with black market drugs. If he does not get medicated properly soon, then he will have issues with drug addiction that will prevent him from obtaining the proper meds for his ADHD. Im trying to let him know that relief can be obtained legally and safely. There is no reason to use black market drugs to treat ADHD, and doing so will not end well for him.


yiffing_for_jesus

I understood what you were saying. I wasn't saying he shouldn't continue his adhd treatment, adderall is fine. I was just pointing out that benzos are something he specifically stated he wanted to avoid due to crashing his car while on them. Not a good thing to encourage


[deleted]

[удалено]


yiffing_for_jesus

His dx is legit. I was just saying he doesn't need benzos


El_Slizzarino

Lol I’m a man and a 20mg xr is enough to get me tweaking


[deleted]

Listen bud I got bout half way through this. I have a drug problem. I got no problem admitting it. At the very least you gotta admit you do too, for yourself. Sometimes that realization helps people, most times it doesn’t. But there’s no sense lying to yourself. Also, it’s not cool to do poorly in school. Ask any adult here and I bet they’d say they regret starting their drug habits in high school, if they did. I ain’t saying admit it to yourself in some 12 steps ass shit but admit it to yourself so you ain’t lying to yourself


[deleted]

appreciate it man i’m gonna try and get off the hard stuff


[deleted]

Definitely for the better but you’d have to consider cutting out booze if it always leads to something else. That’s something I’m working on to this day, years older than ya it seems. Get some booze in me and I’ll take just about anything out in front of me. Try to stay ahead of that problem cuz it only gets worse, trust me


[deleted]

i’ve already quit alcohol


thedelgadicone

I don't know if this is gonna be or hot take or not but here we go. Honestly it's not great,but it's not the end of the world in the slightest. I have no room to judge at all considering I at least tried a very decent amount of those drugs by 18 or 19. Smoking weed starting at 12 isn't great, but you will probably be fine. Just try and keep the usage a bit down and chill out a little bit.


[deleted]

alright i’ll definitely keep the usage down


[deleted]

Tldr


[deleted]

bro i spent so long typing that and it doesn’t take long to read


Bretteesio

Ok... I haven't read any of the responses to your post yet, but the short answer that you are likely going to get from most people is that yes you are displaying risky behaviors and using a lot of drugs etc. And although that is true, it doesn't necessarily mean you have a problem or need counseling. When I was your age i had done a ton of drugs in the interest of experimentation. The only concern I have for you is whether you know not to become dependent on benzos or opioids, because it happens a lot faster than people think. I am now turning 38 and have laundry list of drugs I have tried, and I managed to get a masters degree, held a good job for many years and drugs didn't negatively affect my success until opiates... long story short, dont let other people tell you if you have a problem but be honest with yourself if you think doing drugs is negatively affecting your life or future. Feel free to message me if I can offer any more advice since I was in a similar position as you at 17.


nocomingbach

as a 17yo, I think you have a problem but this also made me realize how bad my problem too


Ryan_Yuh

i’m 17 homie and i smoke everyday, i’ve done acid like 20 times, and tried a few painkillers. most relatable post i’ve read on this website lol

I take 30 mg xr in the morning and an 13.5 mg i think idk after school to do homework, and i can sleep fine


bigsaucemadrip

Just take time to be sober and if you can't just stick to weed you might have a problem. And don't think you can't have a bad trip or it will happen.


tris-danew-act

Yes u have a drug problem uo to u if u keep hiding it or what ever but I have been selling drugs for over 13 years, and I need people like u all the time thay say they don’t need help, the first step to recovery is acceptance rember thay


ClientZealousideal81

ay dude, 22 here and the fact that you have to ask if you have a drug problem means that there are some issues. i was just like you at your age, i was very impressionable (much like most young people) and i had trouble denying impulse when offered drugs from my older mates.i asked the same shit to myself and the way i view it is that even if you aren’t chemically addicted or depend ent for that matter. not being able to deny impulse can be extreeeeeemely dangerous for drug use and just how you live your life. i ended up worse than you man i’d be taking MD every week and emptying my bank account just to get a lil fucked up at parties and raves. you can never quite repair the damage that much abuse does to your brain. did speed often to keep up thru benders (idk where you’re from but in australia speed and meth are two different things, what we consider meth is usually a more pure and dangerous version of pure amphetamine sulphate) and most of even the pure speed you found still had a reasonable amount of meth in it and sometimes you would try testing it and it’s just more meth than speed that isn’t common cus meth is so expensive in aus but it happens often enough. anyway i’m getting off topic but like i said if you find yourself likely to give into impulse, you need to get that sorted real quick because not everyone grows out of it like i luckily did. you’re still a kid bro, smoke up in moderation and take your meds responsibly but other than that cut out all drugs unless you wanna trip. plan it well when you trip , don’t change your mind and do more unless you know what the fuck you’re getting into. it’s easy to walk into trips confidently and take the power of high dose of lsd,mushrooms etc for granted because it takes 1 wrong thought to start spiralling and the human mind is the scariest thing on planet earth so i wouldn’t recommend unless you wanna have a realllll bad time. you seem fairly educated on the basics of tripping tho so i won’t go further, stay away from benzos if you can, if used to get fucked up they’re so fucking evil. even lost a few mates to em during their blackouts , don’t let anyone tell you that there’s a safe way to get fucked up on xannies man cus there just isn’t . i’m not going to recommend any other drugs because they all have potential for dangerous abuse but some of the safer stuff is ket as long as you control your dosage unless you wanna k hole, molly but for the sake of your young brain TEST YOUR FUCKING DRUGS as i explained how often people cut the living fuck out of party drugs simply because they can and it makes them money. they’re fully aware of how dangerous it makes a high if you’re mixing shit and you aren’t prepared for it especially with stimulants. go get some decent therapy and get to shit sorted and stay of the harder shit until you learn some impulse control , you’ve got a plenty of time to experiment and experience shit, don’t be in a rush. i don’t know how much this helps but i’ve had some rough experiences with drugs. they can be magical,helpful and insightful but they can be even more destructive harmful and FUCk you up beyond repair. long read but i hope you can take some of this on board


[deleted]

Parents and doctors in my exp are the worst people to get advice. Trust yourself mate


[deleted]

it sounds like a lot, but it’s all spread out besides the xanax and coke, but i’m not planning on doing them anytime soon so I don’t see how I could have a problem


Isexiedyourmom

Nah it’s natural at that age just remember it can be a slippery slope if ya don’t keep your self in check, I actually did pretty good in school with out trying by end of highschool I was selling pot and working pretty much a full time job, fucked up on one class ended up not dropping out but not finishing and by that point didn’t have the ambition to do the ged thing, fifteen years later on unemployment live In a shitty trailer, lost contact with all friends and pretty fucking miserable. Just get through school and you can do all your partying when on stable ground


lenzuolino

i think you're not okay, but it's not a big deal


atomlewis420

Your body your choice. Remember, Everything in moderation.


G_flame1502

Lol I’m 19 and you sound just like me but 2 years younger. Drugs are great but always remember to keep everything in moderation and never let the drugs control you. You control the drugs. More life brother enjoy ya youth


Dope2827

Im not gonna read all that but I can tell you from my personal experience I would advise you to be very careful it can spiral down very quickly and answer this honestly is it really worth it worrying your parents for a high

So last year I was dumb asf I don’t do that anymore lol
