Question 1

Accepted Answer

Need recovery progrm: Best medicine for quitting meth - or any drug - is a recovery program. Chemicals will not get you off chemicals.  Addiction is a disease of disconnection. Recovery is generally not possible on your own, support from others who have been there is crucial.  Try aa, na, lifering, sos, and treatment programs in your area. Also, it is important to abstain from all drugs, including alcohol.

Question 5

Methamphetamine: The person shows irritability, aggressive behavior, anxiety, excitement, auditory hallucinations, and paranoia (delusions and psychosis). Abusers may be violent. Mood changes are common, and the abuser can rapidly change from friendly to hostile. Sometimes they don't sleep for days on end, and become even more irritable and suspicious. May get suddenly depressed and suicidal when effects wear off.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Addiction: It is highly addicting and chronic use has many bad health outcomes.

Question 7

how is meth used as a medicine?

Accepted Answer

Which meth?: I actually HATE that word, because some people use it for methadone, and others for methamphetamine. Both are medications. Methadone is a pain medication, used in severe chronic pain as well as the treatment of opioid addiction. Methamphetamine (Desoxyn) is used to treat the same things Adderall or RItalin (methylphenidate) are used for - ADHD, narcolepsy, sleep shift disorders and conditions needing stimulants.

Question 8

what does meth do to your body?

Accepted Answer

Great Question : Meth is toxic to the body. It is a highly addictive substance. The user experiences a high or rush that produces a burst of energy or euphoria similar to acute mania. When it wears off, the user becomes depressed. It can make you paranoid and acutely psychotic. It can cause a heart attack or a stroke. Severe weightloss is common and your teeth rot and fall out. Meth kills the body! Don't do it!

Question 9

how can i help a friend on meth?

Accepted Answer

You can't: Only he can help himself, but there are things you can do that first of all help yourself (and other friends/family), and may ultimately help him. Family members often "enable" drinking, allowing the person to get away with behaviors that are unacceptable.  Alanon and Nar-anon are programs for family/friends of those with addiction and can help you understand what you can, and can't do. Good luck.

Question 10

how do you pass a meth swab test?

Accepted Answer

By not using: You pass a meth swab test by not ever using meth.  Stay clean, and your mouth will also.
