Members Zeopold Posted May 18, 2005 Members Share Posted May 18, 2005 My wife works in mental health and she reckons 60% of her patients have problems related to drug abuse, speed (meth) and skunk weed being the main offenders. What's not clear is how close is the causal link with the drug abuse. Sure, psychotic symptoms can be amplified / triggered by drug use, and sometimes ill people 'self - medicate' with street drugs. As regards your friend, a critical step in getting well should be to steer clear of all drugs except those which he is prescribed. I wish him a speedy recovery.

Members ImaSmrtBaby Posted May 18, 2005 Members Share Posted May 18, 2005 Originally posted by cosmicpimp2 I dont know where to look for info and ive been searching the web but i have a serious question and hopefully someone out there is a doctor. Can there be any lasting problems from using meth only once or twice? Ive never done it but i have a friend that has gone crazy and has been locked up for saying stuff like he's god and still thinks wierd stuff even though he's been locked up for a week or so. I think he might have used meth and it messed him up real bad. Thanks guys i appreciate any thing u can find. once or twice? yeah, he's probably ok. it sounds like he had a preexisting condition, although he could have done a {censored} load of it i guess.

Members bleepo Posted May 18, 2005 Members Share Posted May 18, 2005 Originally posted by Crescent Seven Meth makes you stupid for about a week after you stop doing it Tell me that one again! I've got a couple of coworkers that do it outside of work. Holy {censored}.... One of them sort of functions but you can tell his life outside of the workplace is a mess.... Rarely has a home, and all that fun stuff. The next gets by on having large breasts. She is a nice girl, but i've never met someone so stripped of common sense. The 3rd is in the process of being fired. Congratulations. You now have more time to do meth. Funny thing is, they all live in the same house!

Members Weirdocat Posted May 18, 2005 Members Share Posted May 18, 2005 Originally posted by Crescent Seven Meth makes you stupid for about a week after you stop doing it, nah, it just makes you think quicker when you're on it.. hence when you're off it, it seems like it's slow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kaesh Posted May 18, 2005 Members Share Posted May 18, 2005 Like it has been said - there's no chance that the guy got it because of meth (or anything for that matter - pretty much everything will kill you faster than give you a week-long trip). He's either an actual honest nutcase, or is pulling the best prank of his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Symptoms usually disappear within a few weeks after drug use stops." Yes.. but are there any negative effects? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
