Methamphethamine withdrawal symptoms

Withdrawal (long term) immediate symptoms of physical distress are evident with meth withdrawal, a stage that the abuser may enter at a slow pace. Often 30-90 days must pass after the last methamphetamine was used before the abuser realizes that he is in a withdrawal phase. First, without really noticing, the person becomes depressed and loses the ability to experience any state of pleasure. The person becomes lethargic; he has no energy what so ever. Then the craving for more meth will kick, and the abuser often becomes suicidal. If the abuser, however, takes more meth at any point during the withdrawal, the unpleasant feelings will end. Consequently, the success rate for short term meth programs is very low cause some withdrawal effects will occur after the treatment. Ninety-three percent of those in short term treatment return to methamphetamine.

Meth withdrawal, length and severity of depression is directly related to amount and how often Methamphetamine was used. Withdrawal symptoms including, cravings, exhaustion, depression, mental confusion, restlessness, insomnia, deep or disturbed sleep, may last up to 48 hours.

Crash-To a binge abuser, the crash means an incredible amount of sleep. The body's epinephrine has been depleted, and the body uses the crash to replenish its supply. Even the meanest, most violent abuser becomes almost lifeless the time of the crash and poses a threat to nobody. The crash can last 1-3 days.

After the crash, the abuser returns to normal--a state that is slightly deteriorated from the normal state he was before he used meth. This stage normally lasts between 2 and 14 days. However, as the frequency of binging increases, the duration and quality of the normal stage deteriorates.
