How long does meth side effects stay with you?
I am curious as to how long the 'side effects' of
meth stay with you.. ex. dilated pupils, decreased fatigue, ect..
For example.. if a person who had only done meth a couple of times and
all of these times were spaced apart by a recognizable amount of time..
does 4 lines.. how long will the person continue to have the side
effects? Can anyone give me a guesstimate? |

About 8-12 hours. Until they go to sleep. |

Re: How long does meth side effects stay with you?
Hallucinations and
hearing things at night.. that aren't really there.. being really
paranoid, having the body kind of 'jerk' and move around alot when I am
trying to lay down or be still...(yeah, my 'friend' was me)
I was just sure that by now all of the symptoms from meth use would be
gone now.. and they aren't.. they aren't as bad as they were yesterday,
but pupils are still heavily dilated, and it's extremely hard to be
around people who aren't using...
I've used before but I've always been with my cousin and she would be
using with me.. we snorted together but then she had to go back to her
house which is in a different state.. Last night was absolutely
horrible, I have never experienced anything like it before, shadows
became things that they weren't.. even simple objects became things that
they weren't..and I could hear voices that weren't really there..
This morning sitting in my brothers room I look outside his door and
thought I saw a person standing in the shadows...
I just don't want to feel this way anymore. I want to be 'off' my high
right now..
I have enough for like 3 more lines.. and I don't think I'm going to do
them... it really scared me last night! |

Meth Side Effects
Methamphetamine is a stimulant drug chemically related to amphetamine
but with stronger effects on the central nervous system. Street names
for the drug include "speed," "meth," "crystal," and "crank."
Methamphetamine is used in pill form, or in powdered form by snorting or
injecting. Crystallized methamphetamine known as "ice," "crystal," or
"glass," is a smokable and more powerful form of the drug.
Methamphetamine use has spread to all areas of the United States and
continues to be on an upswing. Estimates from the Drug Abuse Warning
Network (DAWN) indicate that methamphetamine-related emergency room
episodes increased 346 percent from 1991 to 1995.
Physiological effects of methamphetamine use include:
Abnormally high blood pressure; rapid and irregular heart rate and
rhythm; seizures; damage to blood vessels in the brain (stroke);
accumulation of excess fluid in lungs, brain tissue and skull;
continuous/excessive dilation of the pupils; impaired regulation of heat
loss; Hyperpyrexia (body temperatures higher than 104°); internal
bleeding; damage to other organs caused by disruption of blood flow; and
breakdown of muscle tissue, leading to kidney failure.
Similar to other drug substances, smoking and inhaling meth damages the
lungs and nasal passages, and intravenous use can lead to spread of the
AIDS virus.
Meth side effects include but are not limited to:
Hyperactivity
Irritability
Visual hallucinations
Auditory hallucinations (hearing "voices")
Suicidal tendencies
Aggression
Suspiciousness, severe paranoia
Shortness of breath
Increased blood pressure
Cardiac arrhythmia
Stroke
Sweating
Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
Long periods of sleep ("crashing" for 24-48 hours or more)
Prolonged sluggishness, severe depression
Weight loss, malnutrition, anorexia
Itching (illusion that bugs are crawling on the skin)
Welts on the skin
Involuntary body movements
Paranoid delusions |

Re: How long does meth side effects stay with you?
I know all of the
effects.. I've been around all kinds of drugs for as long as I can
remember.. what I don't know is how long all this stays.. No one can
give me a little bit of an estimate?
You have previously used before but it had been a year or a little over
a year since you had. You snort 4 lines.. does anyone know how long or
have an estimate as to how long the side effects will stay around?
Also, this time when I used, I did not get the sense of euphoria at
all.. |

Re: How long does meth side effects stay with you?
We didn't snort all
four lines at a time either.. it was done over a period of time..
Last night I also had some suicidal thoughts.. which kind of freaks me
out.. I've never ever ever had any of the kind of.. extreme paranoia,
sucidal thoughts, hallucinations, or hearing things that weren't there
when I used.. |

Keep in mind
everyone metabolizes at a different rate. It's a hard question to
answer. Some people can drink four beers and be s h i t face, others can
drink a case and not feel it. |

Re: How long does meth side effects stay with you?
Well, yea kind of..
but I know that that differs from person to person.. and I'm really not
concerned about how long its in my system.. I just want to know how much
longer I should expect to feel this way.. |

Re: How long does meth side effects stay with you?
24-48 hours I'm
guessing!
Do yourself a
favor don't do anymore ever again and I will promise you it will STAY
out of your system. lol
All kidding aside,
go to WEB MD.com and look up meth it will probably tell you. |

Re: How long does meth side effects stay with you?
Okay, well those
symptoms you describe, lasted about 4-5 days after i quit from a 9 year
run with meth. If they last longer than a week, get yourself checked out
by a psychiatrist. Meth has a tendency to bring out the psycho in us |

You are deciding
how bad this is gonna be.
......you can say @#%$! or you can listen to the beatles and chill out.
if you can force a smile..
....you'll be amazed at how well it works.
put a comedy on tv.
....think happy thoughts.
I'm a major big league drug addict.
....that's what worked for me.
when I wanted more dope...or felt unbalanced, my friends and I would try
our assses off to laugh.
if you can do that.
.....at least you'll die with a smile on your face.
take it easy.
you are making it harder than it has to be. |

Re: How long does meth side effects stay with you?

big the lines are,and your size as well as what exactly was in the
mix,it could go for a few days even a week,try flushing yourself out
with alot of water,and eat. |

Re: How long does meth side effects stay with you?
Thanks everyone for
answering my question first of all..
No, I haven't flushed the rest of it.. I'm going to have to work up some
courage to do that... and I'm not a very courageous person... |

Re: How long does meth side effects stay with you?
breannasage,
You said that you are going to have to work up the courage to flush the
bag right? How much courage does it take to be a slave to the bag? I
hope that you flush it. I really do. Just look at it and think how
panicked you were feeling when you first came here asking your question
think about that and flush it. |
