America, f**k yeah!
I tried meth for the first (and only) time on Saturday, but I smoked kind of a lot (maybe four bowls?), and I used to sort of abuse adderall and coke (it's been over a year since ive used either). It's now Wednesday, and I still can't really eat (I've lost five pounds in four days, no bueno) and im terrified I'm going to have a stroke. I have a really bad headache that I really only feel while I'm laying down, and I'm exhausted. I went to the hospital on Monday because I was having heart palpitations, but they said I was fine. I went back today and spoke with a nurse, and she assured me I was going to be okay, and that it's all in my head because I'm anxious. Is that true? Or is something wrong with me and the people at the hospital are dumb? I'm only 20 years old, I don't want to die from using meth once. And is there anything I can do to make it stop?
 
tell your regular care doctor and get a beta blocker prescribed like atenolol or propranolol and that should help, im on atenolol and clonidine for palpitations and tachycardia.

if it's anxiety maybe a benzo could help but 1st line meds to what you described are what i said above, if you can get benzos too than thats a plus
 
I'm not too worried about my chest at this point, it's more the headaches now. Do I just need to give them a few more days to go away, or should I be freaking out?
 
have you tried ibuprofen for the headaches? if so and it didn't help try again but this time with caffeine, if that fails then see a dr ASAP if you continue to have a headache after that and they've been lasting days.
 
You need to:

-Hydrate.
-Take vitamins and eat healthy food.
-Sleep.
-Exercise
-Advil
-Not do methamphetamine again if you have such severe, lasting side effects.
 
They arent constant, they come and go. I went to the ER earlier this evening and the nurse told me I was just withdrawing and working myself up. I don't really have a headache right now, but I did earlier for a few hours. I just need to know if this is normal. Ibuprofen doesn't help, and I took one excedrin earlier, and it didn't do much, but I probably should've taken two.
 
You are not "withdrawing" from using methamphetamine once.

Do what I told you in my post, the problem is not solved completely with medication.
 
i only started with medicine because i know how scary it is to have a fucked up heart and have it beat 175bpm and get palpitations and shit so i was just trying to help that if that was happening to him, then he said headache and i said advil and caffeine.. i was only focused on symptom treatment, you were more in depth.
 
I think you'll feel soooo much better after you take some vitamins and eat. If you can do some stretches or mild exercise and then go to bed, and I think tomorrow morning you'll feel better.
 
I took vitamins yesterday, and threw up when I was trying to take them this morning. That's pretty much how eating works for me right now, too. My girlfriend thinks I'm faking or overreacting and is getting mad at me, but why would I want this? I want it to go away like now. I don't think I can take it anymore. It's driving me nuts.
 
Anxiety, u went to the hospital more than once and they said you were fine. Ur psyching urself out. Drink a few beers and calm the f*ck down man.

This is what I was going to suggest. There is something called 'Pedialyte' which is great for hydration. It's better than gatoraid. I was feeling like shit last week and drank a bunch of this. I've used it before too. Stores (sold in like cvs, walgreens, etc if your in the usa) often have like a store brand too which is cheaper. It's expensive (for like a quart of liquid) relatively speaking, but IMO worth it! They also sell it in popcicle form. It's WAAY better cold. I drink it in large glasses filled with ice and will stick it in the freezer and drink it in the consistency of a slush too which is my favorite.

Dehydration is funny, I find it hard to self-diagnose but after drinking like 6 quarts of it over a couple of days I realized that I hadn't taken a piss at all (dehydrated much? lol). They recommend it for little kids a lot when they are sick in ways that put them at risk for dehydration (vomitting and direaah- I know my spelling sucks bad). But always use this stuff now when I am sick to stay hydrated. It's over the counter but can be a little hard to locate, go to one of those stores that have pharmacies in them and ask if you can't find it youself on the shelves. Better yet, call the store ahead of time and ask if they carry it and have it in stock.

Not really 'necessary' for adult dehydration but has all those extra electrolytes and stuff that go missing from the body when dehydrated. I defy anyone who is really dehydrated (not like from a run but from being sick or whatever) to try a bunch of this stuff to get rehydrated and not fall in love with it's positive effects. I still have a few popcicles of it left and am gonna have them now.
 
If I try to take vitamins in the morning, I throw them up. You need to take them with food. I would suggest multivitamins, and vitamin B, D, C, E. And some Omega-3 fatty acids.

Drink gatorade for electrolytes, and the poster above me made some great suggestions.
 
I'm worried about the fact that I can't eat. I'm about to run to the store and get some pedialyte, also. Thanks for the suggestion, and thanks everyone else (minus pbuilder, no reason to be a douche) for your help. I know it probably is all in my head and probably dehydration and a lack of nutrients and stuff, but I'm just scared. And that probably isn't helping. I just need to know for 100% certain that this has happened to someone else before and I'm not going to randomly drop dead and that I WILL get better. Man, I really just need to stick to weed, don't I?
 
I sure as hell hope not. I feel like I'm starting to feel better, but then I just start feeling shitty again. Will the pedialyte help with the headaches and lack of eating?
