Meth Detox

Started by SomeChick · 9 months ago

Detox from meth can be tough and something no addict looks forward to.
Many times addiction wins over the painful stresses of withdrawals because if ever an addict tries to quit on their own, they soon realize that their body has adjusted to having a steady stream of meth ingested into it and th ... Continue reading »

    Hey there Chick,
    As usual, I enjoyed reading your post. I do have a couple of comments though:
    1) For me, the withdrawal process, every time I stopped using (about 4 or 5 different times), involved pretty much a very extended sleep, interrupted only by waking moments of extreme hunger. I don't know if this is typical or not, but I didn't experience any sleeplessness, at least not after being off the stuff for a day or two.
    2) The cravings, which lasted for months if not years after quitting, were the most difficult thing for me to deal with and eventually, always brought me back to the drug (except for the last time of course).

    The treatment method I'm developing tries to focus specifically on methods to reduce the impact of cravings, but in the meantime, those trying to quit should be honest with the people around them and point out what their triggers are. No matter how much a person wants to quit, cravings have been repeatedly shown in research to cause a process called "reinstatement" in which drug seeking behavior comes back to the levels it was at during actual drug use.

    Just a little tidbit of information ;-)

    You are so right about the cravings. That's why I really like the 12-step program and having accountability as well. Those cravings kill for sure :(
    Everyone has different experiences it seems. This is really a kind of generalization of the first couple days, but I do thank you for your input. It's always nice to get stories from others that have gone through the detox process as well.
    Thanks!

    I agree that the desire to quit has to come from within. Most cases I know about involve something up close and personal happening that finally got the addicts attention. The sad part is it is usually a tragedy that is the wake up call. But then again, maybe the bigger tragedy is that some never get the wake up call and die.

    Atarax (hydroxyzine) for Anxiety: I take this along with Lexapro... I was having such hard times falling asleep due to nine million things going on through the day ... then the anxiety kicked in...sometimes I would be up for hours while everyone is sound to sleep...When I started taking this I fall asleep within thirty mins and usually sleep sound. It is not addicting... and good price for the good things the meds do

    Remeron (mirtazapine) for Anxiety: I have been taking for 16 months. I was having low-mid level anxiety, loss of appetite and insomnia. Remeron cured the insomnia and appetite immediately. Anxiety was much less within a couple of weeks and gone within a month or so. Constipation occurred for about a week and then went away. I have gained weight over the last year but am changing my diet to be more healthy (no white sugar or white flour, etc.) so that I am losing some weight now.

    Great post! I agree with you 100%, an addict needs to have the desire to change his or her life.
