Question 1

i'm 10wkspregnant i have been using ice(meth)a year i use of morning and not everyday smoking i have read not to stopcan harmbubs can i stop myself??

Accepted Answer

Meth in pregnancy: it largely depends on how much how much you have been smoking and what kind of reaction you have when you do not smoke.  If you do not have withdrawal symptoms you may be able to stop on your own but I would suggest finding an Addictionologist in your area who can provide some group or individual therapy.  The most important factor for your child is the desire to quit.

Question 2

is there anything to help me stay off meth? i have been using for 20 + years. i went cold turkey about 14 days ago. don't think i can last any longer

Accepted Answer

Take a vacation: Go some place far enough away that you can't get any meth.  Craving should go up & down.  You could try working w/ na
good luck.

Question 3

hi dr i would like to know what happens when u smoke meth ice and weed?

Accepted Answer

It is not good!: Meth is basically an upper and cannabis mellows one out.  They both may produce paranoia and are both addictive and have moderate to marked damage to the lungs.

Question 4

how do you get through withdraws faster? i think she is useing meth or ice

Accepted Answer

No good answer: She's got a big problem and it's going to take a firm hand from people who care. Withdrawal from stimulants doesn't typically cause cramps and the like. It's usually a matter of dealing with craving and for a while a strong need to sleep. Once used chronically there are permanent brain changes that make the urge to use persist. Stay away from users and losers or fail!

Question 5

hi dr i've smoked meth ice and weed i feel sick what do i do? help plz thanks

Accepted Answer

Please STOP: at this point there's nothing to do. If you feel terrible you may need to go to the emergency room  Please stop doing this in the future

Question 6

been smoking crystal ice/meth for 2 years and i always test my product for cut and the product i get is pretty potent crystal but one problem i have is a chemical imbalance i never have gotten high from smoking crystal meth what could cause this?

Accepted Answer

: In some cases, individuals who use methamphetamine may develop a tolerance to the drug, which means they need higher doses to achieve the desired effects. However, in other cases, individuals may not experience the expected effects of methamphetamine despite using potent crystal. This could be due to a variety of factors, including individual differences in brain chemistry and genetics.

Question 7

this was my 3rd time ever doing meth. i injected it and my vein has bludged up and is a red color and has became longer. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Phlebitis: Please don't do this any more. You're smart enough to have found HealthTap; you're smart enough to move on and leave the "friends" who did this with you behind. The vein is inflamed and may be thrombosed. If it's not better tomrrow, get seen. If you feel you can't stop doing meth on your own, please talk with your personal physician. I'm really glad you wrote -- let's start a better life.

Question 8

could having cronic hep c and chf on top of taking meds everyday cause toxins(meth) to take longer to process and leave the body then it would a norma?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Both of these illnesses interfere with the overall ability of the liver to do its job. You do know that hepatitis C is usually curable today if you can get into a functioning health care system -- consider a foreign country. CHF is often reversible if a cause is found -- it may be your meth. It sounds like you DO want to live. For the sake of those who love you, stop the meth. Best wishes.

Question 9

pimple like with cores that push out from one spot to next.cores r hard n thin, i used ice( meth )could it be  it's crystalizin my veins!ir hurts w pus?

Accepted Answer

See a doc ASAP : Sounds like you are best having an urgent care doc take a look at what you have.  While there, be honest with them and see what resources they have for a referral to treat the meth use directly.

Question 10

i'm 32 weeks pregnant & i have recently used meth & i was trying to see if i no longer used it after today will it still show up in me or my babies blood or urine after birth?

Accepted Answer

: Testing for drug exposure is not an automatic part of the evaluation at delivery. That said, if I have reason to suspect it, state law may require testing. If I look, I can find evidence of drug exposure in a newborn as far back as the 12th week of pregnancy.
