Hello everyone

I abused an cathinone ( stimulant) 8-10 times in a span of 3 months.

Side effects -

• Memory loss
• Very hard to recollect English words/ lost some writing comprehension ( English is not my first language, it didn't affect any of my other languages )
• Hypnic jerks

5 days more and I'll be at two months of abstinence from this drug all of the symptoms have been cured except for my hypnic jerks/myclonic seizures?

Previously I did 3mmc another drug ( just twice) which is a cathinone. I had these kinds of jerks but it went away in a week. I had alprazolam at that time and whenever I took it I never had jerks and slept nicely.

Description of the jerks -

• jerks happen only when I'm trying to sleep never at the waking moment.

• Just while drifting away to sleep my body jolts especially my legs and hands and it makes a moment where my hands and legs lift up/move

• sometimes my head wobbles too

• very rarely I get this in my chest/stomach where I exhale

• This happens 3-4 times before I am able to sleep.  In total I need 1 hour to fall asleep.

• this rarely happens when I take a nap of 20-30 mins in the afternoon ( happened only twice or thrice )

• For the past two weeks I've been biting my tongue and cheek too while jerking. This has not happened before.

• After the first jerk I sleep on my sides and the jerks/seizure intensity reduces and I can fall asleep a bit easily.

I looked up about this on reddit and found a comment that vitamin b1 will help.

I mega dosed to 300 mg just right before sleep and the first day it infact worked and I only had a mild jolt all inside my leg but I didn't lift my legs at all. This was the only jerk that happened to me on that day and I slept off. But now it isn't working.

Also I'm running meditating and doing yoga since a month.

Mentally speaking I'm very good I'm not Anhedonic or anything. I don't have any stimulant abuse symptoms. Am Just a normal human being. Except for the  jerks.

• What's happening to me?

• did anyone go through this suffering?

• What did you do to calm down your nerves ? Is this nerve damage?

• anything that worked for you?

Thank you
