I am not sure if I am writing in the correct forum. I can really use some advise. I have been smoking speed for a few days and am feeling really scared/confused about these little white flakes. I had scowered the interent looking for answers. please no judgements.

I a few weeks ago, I had smoked a few days in a row and thought I saw bugs all over my body. I self diagnosed it as scabies and went to the hospital where I was written a prescription for it. Did the whole treatment, washed everything in my house and didnt leave for over a week as to not infect anyone. I did not tell the doctor the truth about how I was getting high but she again never tested my skin for anything. In the following weeks after, I started to think I was just tripping out and I really didn't have any skin condition or bugs.

Now I am back here in the same place where I see this little white flakes all over my body and anywhere I am in my place. They look like clear flakes that as long and closely as I stare, dont move. I feel though it melts into my skin and I am not seeing things again...

Has this every happened to anyone?
 
I've taken care of patients with scabies though I've know personal knowledge of meth-induced parisitic invasion myself.

You should go back to the doctor and have it addressed. I'm just figuring A) they didn't kill them succesfully or B) you're just freaking yourself out unnecessarily with anxiety.

Either way doc is your best bet.

'Other Drugs' -> 'Healthy Living' ?
 
the hard part is I am currently without health insurance so the last time I went to a urgent care...and from 2 feet away is how she dignosed me. The thing is I dont have any itching or red marks. So I went to the emergency room the second time a few days later freaking out again. Did the cream twice. (killed me financially). I have what looks like small scars? not sure if its tracks or scars? Can you see scabies? I jsut want to make sure I am not infecting the world or living with this bug/virus inside me. Thank you for your quick response.
 
I would just read up on the disease as much as you can and really just use your better judgement here. I don't know where you live but I don't think a hospital can refuse to treat you I'm in the states though so it could be different where you are.


I'm not really a pro in these matters. Hope you feel better.
 
wait how many days have you been up on meth dude? is this just because you have done too much meth?? id wait atleast 24+ hrs after your last meth dose and if you still feel the bugs go to the emergency room or urgent care ASAP..

what made you think you have bugs under your skin? were you really cranked out when this happened? imagining bugs under your skin is a common symptom of meth-induced psychosis from lack of sleep, food, and too muh meth..

i am not attack you OP or i am not in disbelief, but id like to know, how the FUCK did you get bugs from SMOKING meth??? the flame would kill the bacteria bugs anyways, unless the bug-eggs were carried into your lungs by the smoke lol... i just dont understand if you are really tweaked out, or if your scabies came from the meth, idk dude....

no one can diagnose you over the internet. go to the doctor ASAP!!! fuck the money dude, 100-200 dollars for proper health care is worth it IMO, i would definitely spend any amount of money to get things straigthened out, and i am a HUGE junkie lol
 
i was up for 2 days. I finally got rest last night but smoked the last earlier. i started the whole picking fiasco which led me to think i saw bugs. I am fine when I am sober/not using but I wonder if its something where the drugs in my system makes the bugs want to get out? I know that sounds crazy. I too am in the states.
 
zdude, STOP SMOKING METH!!! you dont have bugs under your skin, the meth is causing psychosomatic hallucinations. if you know the bugs come bak when you use meth, THEN WHY DO YOU USE MORE???

im sorry, but i can tell for sure that the bugs are in your head and you dont have any in your body. the bugs dont leave your body when you are off of meth because they were never there in the first place. you just wigged out and had delirium and started freaking out... this is very common with meth dude,,,


just google: bugs under skin meth binge <--- in google
 
HAHAHA this is one of the funnier threads i've read! I just don't understand the appeal of meth.. it has to be one of the nastier drugs out there, bottom line, DON'T DO METH KIDS!!
 
^ dude it isnt really fun when someone is in a life-threatening condition. you probably will make him wigg out more by being condescending
 
This is almost certainly a hallucination/psychosis brought on by the meth. It has happened to countless meth users all over the world, I myself have had some pretty weird hallucinations (both aural and visual) after a few days awake on the gear.

Seriously, just stop taking meth for AT LEAST a week, have something decent to eat with some carbs and protein in it and have a sleep. Don't take any more meth or you'll put yourself back in the same place.

I can almost guarantee you will look back on this when you've straightened up and think "WHAT on earth was I thinking? MAN was I cooked."

In the unlikely event that this is real, I don't think it will do you any harm to wait until you've completely straightened up before going back to a doctor or the hospital.

Cease drug use. Eat, sleep, rest. Reassess your situation in 3-4 days.

I know it's a horrible feeling but honestly, you will feel better soon as long as you put the pipe down :-)
 
I can remember when I was up for 5 days on a continual bowl after bowl bird dog blazing marathon and went on Facebook for my wake up call. I noticed that the icons were all animated on my Friends list page. It was pretty cool to see the small animated gifs showing each friends moving face and some heads were spinning and mouths were moving, eyeballs bouncing, all kinds of cool stuff. I immediately posted on my wall "Animated friend icons? Seriously this is like myspace now". Several hours later a friend of mine called me and the first thing he said was "dude how long have you been up?". Never giving this info out, I told him I just woke up. He told me to delete the 4 am FB post on the animated icons, put the pipe down and get some fucking sleep and hung up. Yeah the 5th day sucks. Sightings of people sitting in parked cars doubles on the 5th day. Not gonna talk about the 6th day. Lets just say there are more than faces in the trees.
 
yep, although the meth is terrible and will play tricks on your mind, the sleep deprivation will do the same thing, that's why stopping AND sleeping is the best medicine.
 
Awh man, I feel for ya, happened to me once kinda 2, there was one or 2 bugs in my room cuz it was the summer time. So after being awake for a while on 2-fma it felt like i was being swarmed by thousands of them and mosquitoes constantly biting me. Was quite annoying.
 
^ dude it isnt really fun when someone is in a life-threatening condition. you probably will make him wigg out more by being condescending

I've seen dozens of meth addicts get the bugs or spiders as some say/see, 100% of them were back to normal in 24-48 with use cessation and sleep, so I didn't consider this life threatening and I think he's reached the pinnacle of wiggin' out hehe :D
 
I would bet money that you don't have scabies and it's just a delusion from too much meth and too little sleep/nourishment. Scabies come with a red rash that is very invasive and itchy. My sister got them when she was little. The cure was putting clear fingernail polish over the rash to "smother" them.

Stop smoking meth, eat, and sleep! If in 72 hours or so you still feel you have scabies you can go back to the doctor. But the fact is you've already been treated twice so even if on the off chance you did have them, they'd be gone now.

Scabies would come with symptoms, which it doesn't sound like you have. There would be a visible rash. But they're not inherently dangerous so even if you did have them it's not urgent.

You've just been up too long doing too much meth, and then isolating yourself ("to not infect anyone") none of which is healthy. Sober up and take a fresh look at this situation.
 
The bugs aren't real.. Don't pick at them or scratch them.. They are hallucinations caused by too much methamphetamine and too little sleep..

Just stop taking meth and get some sleep, healthy meal wouldn't hurt..
 
i like that logic; bugs only appear when high on meth, so meth is obviously causing the bugs to come out.

yeah stop taking meth, if you had a serious skin issue i'm sure the Dr would have noticed. The Dr probably just thought you were spun and fucking nuts, learn to love the bugs.
