A Few General Meth Q's

[End_User]

Alright I have experience with meth for quite a while, a few years at least, and I have never had these side effects - Can someone answer these questions? Any help and not flames is greatly appreciated...
1. Is meth known to cause acne, or has anyone else here got mad acne after a weekend meth binge? Why does this happen? And no it's not cause I forgot to shower or something....
2. Should the dosage for eating meth be extremely lower if the purity is higher? Eating the recommended dosage from a recent post (Fairnymph) has caused major problems w/ these shards- especially extreme sweating even in A/C, the acne, and the topic of the next question...
3. What about blood rushing to your extremities? Hand and feet being almost scarlet red from blood rush, and tingling?
Thanks and I hope this will cause a thread about the side effects of meth not mentioned on erowid and anywhere else.

1. Yes, amphetamines, and especially methamphetamine, are well known to cause acne. This happens because of increased testoreone levels, which leads to increased sebum production (sebum is your skin's natural moisturizer and can clog pores).
2.How low are you talking about? Yeah, if you have really good meth or a really low tolerance, you should do less...that's just common sense.
3. Tingling on meth is normal (and usually enjoyable, at least IME). Blood rushing to your extremities is rarer; usually there is vasoconstriction with stimulant use, resulting in the opposite problem (not enough blood flow to the extremities). Did you experience any pain as a result of the tingling/blood flow? Did everything return to normal when you came off the meth?

Thanks for the honest info. You are a doll and I've said it on other threads in case you never saw it. But to answer your questions - I think in a previous post you said a good oral dose is about 75mg, so that's what was taken, and that is less than has been ingested before. All I was trying to get out of you was whether that can be too much when the meth seems about as pure as it can get. I've done meth for so long that i have a relatively high tolerance, and I have never felt like this before. I have been sweating all day, tingling (which BTW I enjoy too), I'm not off the stuff yet, and my hands and feet are all still bright red (blood flow seems extreme). No pain has been caused by this though, just massive discomfort no matter where I am or what I'm doing. The discomfort is 100% PHYSICAL though, as my mind is clear, and the euphoria is better than ever before with an oral dose.
Thanks again and if you have any other advice or questions keep posting...
