Yesterday a neighbor of mine offered me some speed, I had been drinking and wasn't thinking clearly so I accepted. Smoked it out of a little pipe, probably took around half a dozen hits throughout the night. Really didn't enjoy the high (generally I prefer downers) and the comedown was incredibly horrible. I vomited for four hours straight, had cold sweats, and wanted to sleep so badly but couldn't. Finally around noon I was able to rest and slept (poorly) for about six hours. Ate after I woke up and still felt so badly that even cigarettes were unappealing. I forced myself to eat and am feeling better. This whole experience has scared me very badly.
My questions are as follows: How long will these side-effects persist? Are there long-term health consequences after one binge? Should I seek help so that I never use again?
Please don't think of me as ridiculous, but I'm feeling pretty shaken.
Id say your experience sucked man and your prolly lucky your were drinking which is what would of made you sick, the cold sweet and no sleep tho are temporary as you know by now. if you haven't tried it again by now don't obivious signs that you may be addicted aren't obvious to the user you have complete control over when you want it the thing is
chances are you've developed a little habbit over a long period of time that will only get shorter

Dude its not important whether you've taken for so long or not. Quit as early as you can before the unwanted consequence hunts you down. It'll be more regretful
hey so I read your post.why don't you try going to NA or AA meetings getting a sponser and working the steps.I feel you are on your way to addiction.no one drinks till they get that drunk and uses methe all night casually.even if you are not, all outpatient rehab, and AA/NA meetings do is give you the tools to keep out of trouble,focus on what you want in life, and tools to help yourself stay clean.methe gives you this crazy thing called "euphoric recall"where all you remember is the "good high"you felt off of it, and not all the crap and insanity you went through do to the drug. plus the comedown itself being miserable is why most people get hooked.it gives you energy, when you want more all people think of are the goodtimes, and the comedown is horrible.I go to outpatient rehab 3 nights a week for 2hrs.i was an addict that relapsed due to a bad divorce.I feel that my rehab and meetings are giving me tools to not ever have to live that way and turn to drugs and alcohol instead of dealing with my life.
Good to here!! Your wworking the steps it seems to be working I have a 23 yr old son who has been addicted to meth for 7 yrs and he was in the hospital in restraints because of his violent outburst and the psychiatrist deemed him capable of being discharged he doesn't say he wants to hurt himself but was violent in the hospital so they won't admitt him
He suffers from a mental illness as well have any suggestions?

You be scared because method will take control of you and your mind where thinking rationally goes out the window and slowly life will fall apart. There is no such thing as functioning user it always comes to a end.
