How long does the side effects of meth stay with you?
I have used meth twice in the last 2 months.
the last time was 4 days ago (I took 4 lines and smoked a little
bit of it) and I still feel dry mouth, anxiety, some confusion,
no desire to eat...I just want to know when this will go away so
i can relax my mind.
and i have an irregular heart
beat |

Some will go away soon. Allot of the damage
meth causes can be permanent.
The key is... To stop using now... BEFORE its too late |

i mean...i have no plans
in using it again. i used it cuz of peer pressure. But I'm just
worried about my body, I've also smoked a lot of weed while i
was on meth and even the days after i used meth. does this
prolong the effects? and when do you think these feelings will
go away?

Take a hot bath. eat some soup
and stay the heck away from meth and even the people that you
did it with.
the feelings you are so worried about and dislike now will only
blaze you 1000 fold. you will be a very sad and lonely person.
the "friends" you think you have will be dealing with their own
demons and they will be no where in sight to help you. so be
kind to yourself and stay away from meth.
read and learn from this board.
good luck... |

will do. A drug counselor said
that these feelings will go away by the end of the week. do you
guys agree with that?? |

What meth does inside your brain
Take a read so you understand what you are dealing with.
I wrote that article, so if you have questions about it, let me

Jeez, this person said they used twice in the
last two months and have no plans to ever use again.
Why are we treating him/her like an addict?
It's one thing to make sure the person knows the dangers - it's
another to assume they have a drug problem when so far it
doesn't look like they do.
Contrary to popular belief and especially hard for us addicts to
believe, not everyone falls in love with meth like we did. Some
people use once, twice, three times and decide they don't like
it. It happens.
Maybe we shouldn't assume the worst unless there's a little more
evidence. |

In the beginning, it took me
about a week or two to start feeling normal again. I was
addicted the first time I used meth, but I didn't know it. I had
cravings, but I didn't realize they were cravings. I thought I
was just thinking and daydreaming about using again. I didn't
think that counted as a craving.
After using heavily and then quitting it took me a couple of
years to start feeling normal again. Meth
forever changed me. Whatever you do, don't touch the stuff
again, please. Avoid it and everyone who uses it like the
plague. It only gets worse.
Did you say you saw a drug counselor? Do you already have
addiction issues?

Re: How long does the side effects of meth stay with you?
no, I said i spoke to a drug
counselor on the PHONE. I don't have an addiction. I've only
used it twice. once in a small amount, and recently in a higher
amount so I was just wondering if the feeling of depression,
fatigue and anxiety are with drawl symptoms and how long they
usually last after some1 has stopped using meth. I never even
had a bad "crash" cuz i always force myself to sleep and eat the
same night. but I began feeling this way a few days after i used
it. |
