- In this Episode of Cracking Addiction we discuss the three phases of methamphetamine withdrawal, strategies to manage the methamphetamine withdrawal including possible medication options and the ongoing psychosocial support required to support patients during methamphetamine withdrawal.
Symptoms of methamphetamine withdrawal can include:
Depression
Fatigue
Increased appetite
Insomnia or disturbed sleep
Irritability or anxiety
Mood swings
Physical discomfort or pain
Strange or intense dreams
It is important to note that withdrawal from methamphetamine can be difficult and may even be dangerous, especially for those who have been using the drug for an extended period of time or in large amounts. It is generally recommended that people seeking to stop using methamphetamine should do so with the help of a medical professional or addiction treatment program. These resources can provide support and guidance to help people safely and effectively manage their withdrawal symptoms and overcome their addiction.
Alcohol withdrawal was the scariest thing I have went through in my life! I had a seizure and stroke, not to mention the total psychosis part. I was hallucinating so bad that I needed to be restrained and sedated. I wish this on no one!
Ive been an occasional meth user as well a full blown daily addict. I dont have trouble stopping as long as i have time to sleep. But not being able to stop working is what got things so bad as well kept them going. The withdrawls are not bad. Feelih cold foe a couplw days. Veig super weak and tired. Weight gain.. but after a few weeks not using i just get so bored and aick of being still super tired and depressed.. so i use again. Currently using for a few days evwry couple weeks. Trying to give myself some type of relief of one thib with the other. Going both ways.. feeling good, then getting my ralth built back up some before i give in again. Im rrally sick of this cycle tho even if it is manageable and bot a severe problem like many have
Yeah I been on meth since I was 15 and I'm 38 mow along with cocaine from teens through my 20s and same with alcohol also and a lot of pain pills which my favorite combination to take is my oxy 30s not the fake ones and meth and fully get what your saying
@@ferguson8143 both about same age and started using same age... "Normal" people wouldn't be able to believe I have done what I have and for so long and haven't had any real effects yet. I'm sure they are coming... But the amount of abuse a human body can take is incredible. People acting like drugs are gonna kill you the first time hahaha. I mean MAYBE opiates...if ur dumb or real unlucky. But so many years I have done shit like smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day, was up for last 5 days straight doing Crystal, took a handful of pills I wasn't sure what they were, drank nearly a litre of cheap vodka the night before while being given a few lines of coke from someone stopping over, went to bed (aka blacked out) for 2 1\2 hrs, wake up put a couple Suboxone strips in my mouth, hit a crack pipe, then go to work, work for 12 hours physical labor, barely eating or drinking. Coming home and doing it all over again... This is just everyday normal! Hahah AND I STILL look 15 years younger than I actually am! Hahaha I've been insanely lucky or have 20 guardian angels... Or it's all about mindset and just being tough...idk
I wish I would have not got started doing all this crap. But now so many years later I just cannot be completely clean. I totally can for 2-3 weeks. But then I just can't take it any more. Many people ruin themselves even with 1 substance. But I have always been able to hold down good jobs and cars, save money... In a way I sorta resigned to being ok with using drugs the rest of my life. I found the more I made myself feel like a failure for not being able to stay sober for years the worse everything was. That's why I say mindset is the biggest thing. Also I have experienced so many things and adventures. I don't think If I lived all over again this time not ever trying drugs that I would have had anything anywhere close to as interesting to experience. Could be wrong. Maybe I could have been a history maker... Done big time shit.
Thank you. During the past few years I've got to know a lot of the local meth users. But I haven't seen one person yet go through withdrawal of any kind, because no one is trying to stop, or if they want to, maybe they believe they can't. I thought you deserve a supporting comment for your efforts in putting this video on line. No doubt, as time passes, it will become more and more useful and appreciated by the population concerned- indeed, also by the larger community. from Gib Sosman
What about using high potency Cannabis derivatives to help come out of this? They have had outstanding results treating severe opioid addiction with Cannabis wax.
Drugs to replace drugs... Marijuana is weaponized
Can only speak for myself, but weed makes my meth comedown symptoms feel 10x worse.
So tired of gp.s running with benzos always being a bad thing and using the same excuse : They are addictive!.. What about the people who have anziety, ptsd, agrophopia, panic attacks.... Muscle relaxants Are not as bad as you make it sound.... Its a bunch of people that ruin it for everyone
Im addicted to nothing
🙏🙏🙏Thank God I have broken the chains of the elementary principles of the world 🗺. Galatians 4:9
Note, if diazepam or any other benzodiazepine is used, it is crucial that it be supervised and limited, for a benzo dependence is IMHO worse than an amphetamine dependence. Benzos dig deep roots, and create a real, very powerful dependence- I call it addiction, though others just say dependence. In either case, it's as real as anything. Taper off very, very slowly, if you become dependent. It took me almost fourteen months to stop a 2mg/day klonopin habit, between 2008 and late 2010; and to do so was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life, and perhaps the most worthwhile. Also, I want to mention that I used a generic adderall, in order to deal with the benzo WD, all those months. But when I finally quit the amphetamine, which was last spring, I didn't miss it, nor experience any WD. There seems to be some confusion about amphetamine being addictive AS USED these days, and considering the strength of the meth so easily and widely available, though, it might as well be a real addiction, as it takes over people's lives, only without the severe dangers encountered with sedative drugs such as benzos, and of course alcohol, and obviously also with narcotic painkillers; physical risks of convulsions, suicidal ideation, and other risks happen with these sedatives that do not occur, or not in the same way, with speed.
5-7 days inpatient!FOR LIFETIME OF METH ABUSE!! WONDER WHY THE NATIONAL AVERAGE OF RECOVERY IS ALMOST NON EXISTENT
This 5-7 day period is just the beginning of inpatient rehabilitation, actually this period is considered as detox that can last 2-3 weeks before the addict can function enough to be placed in a rehabilitation center
