To make a huge story short My brother was doing crystal meth and got what doctors cal amphetamine phsycosis.He started seeing germs on his skin.This caused him to dig wholes in his arms,and face.He then began to think my dad was on it,that my grandmother was the cook,and that they had been feeding it to us since we were babies.When confronted he would laugh it off.After 2 or 3 weeks of this its when it all went down.The thing about it is he worked away and we only saw him on the weekends.The last night he was with us he had worked with my dad in the yard.He then left and disappeared for 4 hours.That was nothing new.When he came back he opened the door with furey in his face.
He began to say.I see things so clearly now.The meth has opened my eyes to help me see .He then began to freak out saying my dad was sleeping with his wife and my moms was in bed with them to.so not true.He then said how everyone in america is on meth and its everywhere in the food.All this could not be further from the truth.He was filled with dilusion,paranoia,and scitzaphrenia.(excuse the spelling) so my parents ahd him picked up by the cops.He then went to the mental ward for 15 days before they couldnt hold him anymore.There he was diagnosed.He went back to jail then rehab.Its been a long 7 months.Even though he still believes that thereis meth in the food in rehab and hes high, he is at least visiting with my parents.He was threating to kill them for months and finally by a miracle realized he needs them.He comes home in 2 weeks and all we can do is pray.That he stays sober and being back with the family will help prove this was drug enduced.In all of my life I never realized how somthing like this could happen.Its beyond comprehension!Look up abc prime time live they just ran a story on meth about a couple.Its worth looking up.
Spread the word about this evil drug dont let this happen to someone you love.
If you have any info on phsycosis please write.
I have never experienced this type of psychosis , But it does happen. Meth effects people differently . Some have been able to cover their use by keepin it together, But most show some effects . Then there are some who completly go off the deep end.
I am not sure why it is this way . It is something that interests me a lot. I do know some of it has to do with the meth itself ( by that I mean the manufacture of it ) There are a ton of people making it , most not having a clue as to the intracet nature of chemistry . They leave a lot of extremely toxic chemicals in what they think is meth . Others cut the meth with things to cause it to be more addictive ....Like heroin .

this story took me back to the days of using not thats it ever affected me in this way but believe i have been around people who exhibit the same behavior as your bro............ the scarey part for you now is if he continues to use he will pick up just where he left off.....only worse from here sad but true...............my thoughts and prayers are with you
Hi Eva,
I know all about the meth psychosis in a relative. I'm writing to tell you that there is at long last an excellent treatment by U.S. scientists who have worked hard for many years in large government labs to find the cause of addiction. They have found the cause of addiction and of cravings, it's a dramatic rise in brain dopamine by all drugs of abuse. They have found a long studied and excellent treatment called GVG or Vigabatrin. It eliminates cravings. I've studied scientific research on addiction and possible treatments for many years, and this treatment works. Please you or your parents learn about it on WWW.BNL.GOV. Also do searches on internet on this treatment drug. The clinical trials by Brookhaven Lab. in Mexicali were successful, and patients who completed trial did not use again...the trials were in 2003 and 2004. The FDA has given the go ahead in Jan. for clinical trials for addictions in the U.S. You will learn that GVG works for ALL drugs of abuse: Methamphetamine (which raises dopamine levels 2700 times above normal!!), cocaine (550 times), alcohol (140 times), heroin (170 times), and MJ, tobacco, inhalants. Talk to your brother about this while he is in right mind.

I know what he is talking about I used to get wired and have the same problems I used to think everyone was after me and I would fill my car up and drive around staring into my rea view mirror for sometimes 3 days at a time.
With regards to the skin digging I used to think my nose was swollowing my Meth and not letting it go into my system so I tried to "cut out" the section that was doing that. It never worked I nearly bled to death.

Your story could be my husband 6 months ago. He used to think I was poisoning his food, people were changing out the engine in his truck, sometimes they were changing the tires while he was in it, just to mess with him. The scariest thing was when I realized he honest to god thought these things were going on. My meth usage had never caused this to happen to me. But he would stay up for a week at a time sometimes, and it isn't so much the drug causing the psycosis as the fact that the body has had no rest. People who do not do drugs but have to stay up all night working or something can also begin to see things, but yes, the drugs make it way worse! My husband got some help from a dr I worked for, he was not a specialist in drug rehab, but we couldn't aford rehab so he did what he could and it has helped tremendously. He but him on Buspar, Librium (to help with the shadow people), Cylert (it is for adhd but it will give people energy without the methampetamine) these meds have helped tremendously. he is not 100% yet but when he starts thinking some of his old thoughts he has enough snap to convince himself it's not true. Best of luck to you and your family and I pray for your brother.
