Simple question: am I the only person whose face has visibly changed from drug use?

In my case it came mostly from Adderall.

Let's hear from others with the same experience.

Yeah, adderall gave me bad sunken cheeks. I was pretty much wasting away. Add heavy opiate and benzo use on top of that and you could say I looked like I just escaped a concentration camp. At one point my doctor started giving me all these prescription vitamins to help me but thinking back its like why didn't she just cut my amp dosages. Oh yeah she was afraid I would go somewhere else and she wouldn't get those cash payments monthly. I hate to blame anything on her but fact are facts she strung me out for 8 years on that crap.

I am alive though, that is what matters and totally healthy looking!
 
pay attention to the food you eat, correct vitamin/etc, get the correct sleep, the alteration of constant drug use plays havok with the nescisary nuerotransmitter regulation, its a really complex inteconected and interdependent spider webb, give it the time it needs to rebound. stay hydrated, keep up on the hygine..

They knew all the right people, they took
all the right pills
They threw outrageous parties, they paid heavenly bills
there were lines on the mirror, lines on her face
She pretended not to notice, she was caught up
in the race...

I know exactly were you're coming from, Vegas. The last few years I've been on a cocktail of weed meth opiates benzos and every other cheeky little substance in between. My drug use hangs right on my face... I'm pale, I have sunken, blackened eyes, my teeth are an unpleasant yellow-grey, and my hair is starting to thin fast. Been trying to put on some weight and get some vitamins in me for a while now.
 
Blackened, sunked eyes, teeth getting yellow, and graying hair...

Vitamins won't do shit for us.

Some people are more prone to suffering from physical appearance changes than others.
But you're definitely not the only one who experiences this sort of thing, TCM..
I find amphetamine use really degrades the quality of my facial features. After about 24 hours without sleep, is when i start to look noticeably affected.
Although balancing out healthy meals, vitamins & supplements may benefit you in some ways, i think a lot of drugs are still going to momentarily affect the way you look (if you are frequently using / misusing).
Another reason why you should try use in moderation.
 
It's a mazing how quickly you can bounce back with eating, sleeping and hydration!

Opiates are my drug of choice, but I've done a fuck load of amphetamines too! When I stop, my face and my color comes back within a month and I instantly gain muscle!

It's all about eating foods that don't fuck with your skin and getting the vitamins and minerals you need....although, any kind of stimulant is the hardest thing to stay looking good through because it makes you want to do all the things that make you look like shit! Stop, and I promise you you'll look 10 times better in a month!

Swishing water or using hydrating mouthwash will go a long way towards protecting your teeth too....
 
After a year of shooting H I pretty much looked like Kate Moss, gaunt , sunken cheeks, pale, boney, hair falling out( luckily my hair is SOoo thick it was ok) I loved the way I looked tho, I thought I looked SOoo skinny n hot. After gaining 15 lbs on methadone I went into depression , even tho everyone told me how much better I looked:( I've always noticed after a coke binge tho I looked like shit,extra pale, bug eyed , bags, zits, yuck!
 
When I was heavy into coke tho I noticed if I drank water or alight vitamin filled juice during the night n at least choked some soup broth down, hydrating mouth wash, good skin lotion n acne creams, and even if u can't sleep lie with your feet propped up n close your eyes n try to relax your mind. Did wonders forme n I was on heavy coke use for 4 years:)
