sideffects of meth

My ex-husband did meth and probably still does. I divorced him because of it. He hid it from me for years and years, he started stealing because of it, and doing really stupid things. We had a beautiful home and were very happy (well, he was high). He was not the typical person you would ever suspect. We had nice cars, a good income, and took nice vacations. We really had the dream life together. I suspected that he was doing it and confronted him about it, he would deny and deny and get so defensive and mean, that I would drop the subject. Now I know he was defensive because he WAS using. I'm happily remarried, and he's falling apart at the seams. His health is horrible, he looks 40 years older than me and we're only a few years apart. I begged him to get help before we divorced but he wouldn't do it. What you think is not too bad of a habit now will eventually turn into one. My ex smoked his life away. He lost a woman that loved him, but I couldn't sit around and watch him do that to himself and lie to me because of it. There were times when his lies and denial would make me feel like I was losing my mind. I had to lose him, I did, and he's miserable, unhealthly, and an unhappy meth-head. Smoke away, people, just know that if you don't stop you're going to lose everything that ever meant anything to you, but you'll be so bad off you won't care. All you'll ever care about is getting high.

agreeing with the first reply. when using you are not maintaining normal eating drinking habits so your urine is going to have hi concentrations of whatever your body is getting rid of. There are also amounts of the drug in your urine as your body is flushing all those toxins. and there is a lot of c**p in meth. You can even use your urine to get hi again its that potent. My friend also developed a uti in the first week of trying meth

Okay...no lie...from expeirence...heres what youll have to look forward to...

your not gonna like yourself...even 10yrs later youll struggle with depression and feel like hell alot. You will wake up have no future plans in place...not know how in the hell youll manage to survive after sprending however many years youll waste on this drug. If your lucky, youll have your teeth and your face wont be ripped to scars from all the times you ended up thinking you felt something. Your personal relationshsips will suffer the ups and downs of the depression left after you face your addiction( you will be addicted...you wont choose to be it chooses you)...nothing will seems fufilling as you drift thur this life left over after your meth addiction. Put it down and move forward.

So will it go away if you stop ?? or do you go get antibiotics ?

did he or should people who have UTI go to dr for meds ? or can it go away if you stop meth or slow down ???

Methamphetamine use does NOT cause an increase of acid in saliva. It causes saliva glands to reduce or stop saliva production. Our saliva naturally contains enzymes that help to neutralize the acids that can cause tooth decay, therefore the result of methamphetamine use reducing saliva in the mouth is less acid being neutralized and more tooth enamel being damaged, not an actual increase in acid production.

It's a mind thing it's not as crazy as tv makes it seem I've been smoking for years and I'm not on the streets I'm not a theif and have a job The only thing that's sucks is the shadow people lol

Only ignorant people do these kind of stupid things that you listed above
Meth or no meth

Everything is dangerous without moderation. I don't personally condone it. But how is it my place to condemn or judge. I've known many people who's alcohol problems were worse than some meth users. What we do to our bodies should be whatever we want. If you let it get beyond being able to control your actions and hurt others, then there should be an intervention and you've forfeited your right to choose. I fully believe all drugs should be legalized. If they're regulated and have quality control standards it's safer for everyone and would be great for taxes? I've never heard a reasonable argument that legal drugs like alcohol or prescription drugs are inherently safe because they're allowed. Abuse is abuse.

Meth is very toxic so your kidneys have to function extra hard to get the toxins out of your body. Your kidneys are part of your urinary tract like your bladder and run off of water, if you aren't taking in enough water then you will get dehydrated and get a uti.

Im actually a meth user myself I've been on it for about 2 years I do about a ball(3.5grams) every 3 to 4 days. I understand the stereotypes and for most users it is correct but doing any drug is about your own mindset and where you are In life you cant let meth do you, you do the meth. I am defiantly skinnier but not much I've always been the skinnier type of person I don't ever do criminal things or pick up charges I have a good paying job at a mechanic shop in my town which I never miss a day of a work ever I've only got paranoid while drive but that's just cause my tags were expired so I would be paranoid even if I wasn't high I eat at least two meals a day and drink a lot of water and I sleep 4-5 hours a night sometimes 2-3 if I get into a movie or call of duty and anybody will lose their teeth if they don't take care of themselves which a lot of user do not I brush my teeth 3 times a day and shower 3 times which keeps a thing call speed bumps or meth mites down meth mites is a psychosis caused by a mix between dehydration and the drug itself some say there is bugs under their skin, some say that's they have boils, I personally have seen both but remember its a drug like take lsd or acid for instance if you took acid and watched a wall change colors you would think its cool cause its acid and it makes you trip but people forget meth is also a hallucinogenic just a way smaller scale so if you see a bug in your arm or crawling out of a sore remember Im on a drug and the drugs are making me trip just like you would with acid or shrooms DO NOT PICK it becomes almost addictive and you will get stuck picking for who knows how long I've seen people pick for 10 hours straight And they look like a walking disease I almost did it once but I remembered its not there and leave it alone and since then I've had no trouble I don't even see any thing really the more you stare the more you see so just don't do it you will get sores no matter what though its the toxins being pushed out through pours but its alright just put Neosporin on them and they will go away just like any other sore would if you want you can hit up a steam room and sweat it out to flush the toxins faster so there are less sores picking is what gives most users the tweaker look like they are sick I will say you are correct about the defensive thing my wife says im defensive all the time so that one is just one that happens if you have never done meth I recommend you don't I've only met one other functional methhead so most likely meth will eat your brain till your insane or you will pick so much you will get mrsa my father died of it last year and the biggest cause is picking at scabs and meth mites and my family loves me to the moon and back even if have an addiction If you choose to get high be careful and do some research about side effects and symptoms so you know what you are In for meth is not a joke its not called a hard drug for no reason its powerful and can change a good man bad in the blink of an eye so be very wary and don't do very much in one sitting it feels like you want to but psychosis will set in and meth will take over especially if you snort and smoke choose a way and stick to it and stay in good environments people will get in trouble and meth makes people scandalous have a good time but not to good of one stay safe- love your neighborhoods functional meth addict

The best thing that an elder told me it's you who is dope the dope doesn't make you dope. It goes the other way though too. The dope doesn't make you crazy, you were already crazy you just needed the dope to prove it 100%. Someone who isn't me did meth for three days and then would stop for a week and would repeat. Swim has a normal job wife and kids, swim never gets crazy on dope bc swim is a normal person with a positive mindset. Swim has no health problems. Do not let dope run your mind let your mind run the dope

Wow that's such BS. The people who can't cope with life can't cope whether on drugs or sober. They are negative people sober or not. Positive people are positive sober or not. It's all relative

Very well said. Like i said brother the people who are positive will be positive whether sober or on drugs and the negative ones will always find a way to complain sober or not

Wow!! You're good!! I've seen this first hand. Not pretty
