Hello ! So I've been basically a daily user for several months now (my first experience when I was much younger with a long break between now and then ) .. I'm currently on an anti psychotic (abilify) which dulls the effects of meth so I'm consuming upwards to 2 grams sometimes in a day .

I take three oral doses sometimes 4 of 250mg or a quarter gram and then smoke upwards of .2 or 200mg several times .

I've tried taking breaks which I get to about day 3 from last dose before physical symptoms almost compel me to use again .. what I mean is when I stop suddenly after consuming so much in a 24 hour period for 5 days straight.. I get extreme dizziness to a point where I can't stand almost.. very light headed when I get up from a sitting position, sweating profusely and tremors . I eat , sleep, hydrate during all of this as I can consume .25 and then 20 minutes later go to bed if I really wanted.. it's not even getting me high anymore it's just when I try quitting cold turkey I am physically ill and it's quite uncomfortable.
I would really like to hear opinions on tapering ( I have someone who can make sure I actually taper ) and what causes these nasty side effects after stopping such high amounts of meth daily ?
I'm looking to stop this as it's ruining my mental health and body ):
 
See if Wellbutrin can help. It helped my daughter but not me I am a long term meth user and have been told if i quit it will cause me all kinds of problems. But I dont use as heavy as you. I was slamming heroin and meth for a few years straight. Now I have swollen legs and feet not congestive heart failure that is what they said first. But drinking and swallowing meth does something completely different to your body. It can cause halluciantions and tremors. Honestly the best way is tapering so your body gradually gets use to the change. Cold turkey and it sends your body into a complete shock. Now I would think that maybe the other drug is causing some of those symptoms. think about it your dose like you said causes you not to feel the meth as much so when you dont use meth the dose is probably way to much. Some of the symptoms are side affects of your medication. why not try when you dont use cutting down your dose and seeing if that helps at all. of course talk to your doctor because I am not one but my daughter is on meds like that and when she doesn't use she takes less. your dose is probably high because of the meth. just something to think about wish you the best

The symptoms you're experiencing are low blood pressure and a part of it is dehydration.
You need to get hydrated which means not just drinking water but also adding electrolytes to it.
If you don't add electrolytes you'll just pee the water out as you need electrolytes to keep the water in you, and you are now deprived of them.
You can find them online sold as sport supplements and they're cheap.

If you are doing that much meth in one day it's very likely you are also undereating.
Try to get some healthy foods in you, eggs, grilled meat/poultry/fish, rice, oats, broccoli, oranges etc.

Meth will mask your hunger and thirst and sleep deprivation, but you very likely need to lots of liquids, food and sleep to feel better.
