Re: meth psychosis?
generally...
...you WILL definately get it the first time you use.
IF you use enough to stay up four days to a week.
as your body dehydrates, and is malnurished, sleep
deprivation,kicks in...giving auditory, and visual
hallucinations. coupled with whatever mental disorder,
or personality disorders you might have magnified.
for example...
...in speed psychosis.
I EXPECTED the hallucinations, I ignored the whispers, but I'm
ADHD...it got so bad I could'nt find ANYTHING.
....I developed some obsessive compulsive disorders while using
...so I'd re arrange items on a table for 12 hours.
like a happy moron.
MY BF
was already paranoid, and had self esteem issues.
....so HIS psychosis was a paranoid belief in benign
occurances that I was out to get him...by re arranging the table
for reasons unexplained.
it's different for everyone.
....but it only takes some starvation, and sleep
deprivation....plus the speed to get a good solid clinicly
insane mind set going. |

Re: meth psychosis?
what about those who don't stay
awake for even a whole night but used to be a full-blown addict?
would something like multiple personalities ever be part of the
psychosis in this instance?
i'm worried for someone who is seeing hidden messages on the
computer, believing that people are evil (but aren't), etc. an
ex-addict but nowhere near what they used to be on it in the
past.
i dunno... thought i would try and get some insight. thanks
everyone. xooxox suz!

Re: meth psychosis?
My ex was like that...
...there was no way you could convince him otherwise.
he's got to quit.
and he IS a full blown addict.
....now you see what "progressive" means.
he picks up where he left off, he won't start over "fresh"
....the more he does..the worse his mental condition will be. |

Re: meth psychosis?
Yeah Suz,
I agree with you. My heart is breaking for this guy that we are
all talking stupid ass code about.
D,
My heart is breaking for you too. It sucks to have to witness
the meth psychosis. He is a full blown addict baby. It does not
matter if he is using less than what he used to, it does not
matter if he is sleeping. The monster is taking over his soul.
I hate this @#%$. I hate meth and what it does to beautiful
people.

Re: meth psychosis?
To deeeeee and that "someone..."
Of course I've been off of work for a while, but when I go back,
I KNOW maybe half of our psychiatric patients will be there
because of meth psychosis. I know that because it is ALWAYS that
way, always. They read meaning into things that aren't there,
believe the TV and radio (And computer!) are talking to or about
them, see "Hidden messages" everywhere, and are generally
PARANOID. Lots of them think they are broadcasting their
thoughts, or that people are inserting thoughts into thier
heads. Some of them think the government has implanted
microchips into thier brains and are controlling them.
Sounds like fun, huh?
I can make you one ABSOLUTE PROMISE - this person is not going
to get better if he continues to use - he will most likely get
WORSE over time. I see it constantly. It makes me sad - because
for most of these folks, getting CLEAN makes it all go away.
One the girls in the NA program was one of the patients at my
work (Actually, LOTS of people in the NA program were, but I'll
just use her for a recent example - the ones that stayed clean
are doing fine.)
She stayed clean for about 4 months after she got out of the
hospital, and she was smiling and talking to people and stopped
hearing voices...she became fun to be with, skin cleared up....
She's using again. Her face looks like a pizza. She won't look
us in the eye, she is hearing voices, and thinks that some of us
in the program are going to KILL HER.
Sometimes they get so sick the state has to take over - they
won't stay away from the meth - we get them well, they go use
again, and they are in and out of the hospital constantly. After
that happens enough time and they get themselves into such bad
shape that the state takes over (They end up conserved) and off
they go, away for at least a year into a locked psych facility
to get well.
Ask this person, is this what you want? The only problem is,
when people are psychotic, they don't believe they are sick, so
they HAVE to go through the system to get well enough to
understand what meth is doing to them.
I hope your friend is still coherent enough to realize where
meth is about to take him. Some people NEVER come back. |

Ok so maybe the phrase " talking in code" was not the best
choice of words here. My point was at the beginning of the
posts, it was like talking about some random stranger not
someone that we know.
Know what I mean??? |
