It seems for some the meth makes them more "placid" though they may not sleep, it may have the opposite affect on some people's body chemistry. My daughter was calmer on the speed than off it..it was the coming down part that was the obvious for me....tons of eating, tons of sleeping, very moody and irritable and irrational, weight loss, sores on body, face broken out, skin pale, hair brittle. There is some great information on here dig around in the old posts in the meth section and you will find a lot of informative advice. So sorry you're living this horrific pain. If you need some comfort, we're here for you.
Hi
What the other people have told you is true, I have a girlfriend who is trying to come off of it, she has been on it real bad for the last 3 years and I never knew untill she started some unusual behaviour at work, and then she started lying, cheating, stealing and decieving me, even went so far as to have an affair with someone she hardly knew, and was the clubs slosh pot, then I found out that she was addicted to this stuff and it was messing with her head. I tried to pesuade her to get proffesional medical help to come off of it, and she reliezed she was an addict, I tried to ween her off the stuff, but I was wasting my time,she continued lying etc, In this time she was going between me and her affair, after 3 times back and fourth, I managed to keep her off of it for a week,and then a load of other things started to happen, she did not stop eating, sleeping,off sex, face swelling, throat sweling, hot and cold sweats,burst of energy on silly subjects, and the lying continued, untill I kicked her out and told her to go live with her new friend, and do not text me any more as I wanted to move on, by now she had not had any for two weeks, I then got a text asking me to help her, and I am trying weather I make it or not will be another story because so far living with her is hell, so god knows how she feels inside, she has now agreed that she needs help, and agreed to see her doctors and take time off work to get some councinling, I dont know weather she will up and just go tommorrow, this muck messes with the mind and the body. Sometimes we have to be cruel to be kind I think you have to put people into a situation were they have no one to turn to, but you are still there, then they might seek help, because the only way you get of this stuff, is to want to, try to give them a reason to come off of it.
I wish you the best of luck and if there is way you wish to talk, go ahead, and if I can help I will

I thank the one's that has wrote me back, I am worryed and some say to let my son hit the ground head on becouse I ask him to get help and it didn't go well and as a mother this is so darn hard and some say to take him for a ride and take him in, BUT I'm scared he will flip out and hate me for life and he already hates me becouse he keeps asking for money that I dont have to give with some out of this world lies. or make me think someone wants to hurt him so i give him 100.00's at a time to find its a lie. should I just walk a way? or give him more chaces until I'm broke and out living on the streets?
mom being pulled two ways
A loving helping mother or tuff love turn my back and not look back until he gets help?

Baconbits, you are going to have to go against your every instinct to be a mother here. I tried EVERYTHING...and i mean EVERYTHING to help and save my daughter. NOTHING WORKED. Even called the police on her and yes she said she HATED ME and would FOREVER and it hurt. Eventually though you do wind up broke and broken..so do what you will inevitably have to do in the end which is to let him go. There is no way around the pain this involves, but he will not get better if he doesn't have to and if we keep giving them everything, they don't have to. The last conversation I had with my daughter was from a psyche ward...I told her "I am done. You're doing this to yourself and it's killing you and it's killing me." I hung up and did not know where she was for months after she left that hospital...and it was painful. But after years of going in circles with her...walking away was all there was left to do. And somehow that is when she chose to help herself. She has over 100 days clean now..she does not live with me still..she has a job..she has her mind and her body back..she is once again my beautiful daughter. I never ever would have believed I couldn't love her out of addiction, but I couldn't. She did it herself when she had no other choice left. I feel so sad for you because I know the fear and the pain you are in. He will tell you he hates you and threaten with all sorts of other manipulations..and it's hard because there is a risk they will follow through on their threats; yet know that when he does have to face this alone, that is when he probably will help himself and when he is clean, he will not hate you for doing what you were forced to do. we're here for you. luv corrinne
I don't think any one hear mentioned this but I remember bad breath.
It stuck out to me the most I cant compare it to any thing normal (( food ect..))
I also remember a lot of night sweats and he would pick his face until there were deep infected hole all over it.
My husband would say he was running to the store for drinks then not show up again for hours. he was late coming home from work every day.
he hid in the shed to talk on the phone then he would become defencive when I questioned him about it
there are hundreds of signs there different for different people but people on meth or ice get pretty sloppy with evidence I'm almost sure if you look
you'll fined what you want to know.
