Stimulants HELP. I think I may have bugs from smoking meth.

Just in case you need one more person saying it to convince you I agree 100% that I am sure you are not truly infected with any bugs. This is totally an effect of the lack of sleep and/or the meth!

I have been a healthcare professional for a long time so just know that even if it really were scabies you will be ok to wait awhile until you are rested and back to thinking clearly to be checked out again. I think you will find once you rest and come off the meth you will see that there is nothing there.

Take care of yourself hon and give it a break for a little while.

If you were high enough to actually think you had bugs under your skin, I'm surprised it wasn't obvious as hell to the hospital staff. They should have just given you an IV of benzos and told you to calm your ass down.

Hah, for sure.

You definitely have a problem, my man... if you keep up with the meth like this, the paranoia and psychosis will just get worse. You're going to end up in a really bad way.
 
The whole "bugs under the skin" thing with meth/amp is almost stereotypical. Please be careful in the future. I have only really stayed up two or three times on speed for 2-3 days and it sucked.

Scabies is pretty difficult to get nowadays.
 
@n3divwnoji999 dont do rimjobs

now real advice.

like other people hae said, force your self to get sleep. tell your self, ok so waht if you do have it, don't make any other moves until you have gotten sleep. then you can think straight.

my friend gets so strung out on meth she carpet surfed so fucking hard looking for a little rock she SWORE flew out the bag and when i came over in teh morning she had ripped her whole apartments carpet out and it was rolled up on teh sidewalk. "I needed new carpet anywy plus look i found 89 cents"
 
i dont get bugs, but sometimes if i binge hard i will have a weird spot somewhere which i swear is either cut or actual meth coming out through a zit/small cut. only happened a couple times, and it was definitely there since i get sleep/took pics and looked again sober. they feel hard, like a shard or something and dont usually heal until i "pop/lightly scratch it off". im always really paranoid about not scratching or picking myself on ice
 
If you're fine when you're sober, that is clear indication this is simply an amphetamine psychosis.
Pleeease for your own good do what it takes to kick the habit for at least a day or two. After this long provided you eat and sleep enough you should come back to a rational state of mind where you can make a logical inference then, not now after being up for a day or two whacked on substances which are notorious for causing psychosis such as this
 
Congrats you have a mild form of amphetamine psychosis! Seriously, sleep and eat well to fix any potential biological causes of flaky skin.

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 didn't read the rest of this thread, just the OP, and I felt the need to respond immediately.

For one, I have had Scabies before (unfortunately). They are a hideous, DISGUSTING, hellish creatures, but they don't appear as white flakes. What happens basically is that after two weeks (the time it takes upon the infestation for the symptoms to appear) you will begin to itch yourself crazy, especially at night. Sometimes the itch will become so bad that it will burn and even in your sleep you'll itch all over and many times I would wake up with blood stained sheets. After a while you'll notice small scabs that grow into larger crusted over areas of skin-I'm pretty sure this is due to the fact that there are clusters of the bastards mating under your flesh.

I have also smoked/shot methamphetamin as well as cocaine, MDPV and a host of other stimulants and have gone into a state of psychosis multiple times. I would see white flakes everywhere but I would think it was meth or whatever stim I was shooting up at the time. However its no secret that methamphetamine addicts are known to pick at there skin and see things that aren't really there. I'm almost 100% sure this is what it is. It doesn't sound like Psoriasis (my dad has that) nor Exczema (which two of my friends have). Lay off the speed for a while and if you continue to find white flakes on your body than I'd seek medical help.
 
It is possible to get scabies and if one person gets it, everyone living with that person gets it!...You literally can get it by just touching someone who has them....Which is why the nurse stood two feet away....

The people I knew that got them were people with "dreadies".. *rolls eyes*.....It's God's way of punishing white people that refer to him as "Jah"!

As far as the whole "nail polish on the rash" thing goes.... I believe you do that with "chiggers", which are bugs that actually do burrow under the skin and hang out there. The nail polish suffocates them....But definitely don't start painting yourself with nail polish the next time you the "The Bugs"!

I've never thought bugs were under my skin, but I've seem swarms of flies flying around the room....the next night it turned into bats...the night after that it was rat crawling around everywhere!

I once thought there was a conspiracy of people trying to infect me with HIV when I was on meth one time...I thought they were somehow sneaking syringes out of my pocket and replacing them with dirty ones....I was yelling at people on the street I thought were involved...It was probably the most embarrassing shit Ive ever done...Man, once you start to have hallucinations like that, a long break is in order, to say the least!

Once you take a break, you may be able to do it without seeing bugs....But once you freak out and get delusional about a particular thing....you might start freaking out about the same thing further down the road....

I can still get away with meth occasionally, but after 48 hours I'll definitely start hallucinating badly!....You may actually get to a point where you know what the hallucinations are, but it's annoying to constantly see shit that's not there!...at that point, the parties over and it's time to curl-up by the fire with a half-gallon of vodka, a few grams of heroin, a bottle of Xanax and some porn!....that's a joke, don't do that! Only use one of those three things with the porn....

Another fun thing that happened to me, I watched porn for so long on meth one time, I started actually seeing porn playing on the walls after I stopped....It was very detailed too, entire scenes! It fries your brain....and meth isn't a drug I've even done all that much...well, by my standards....

So Pretty please, with sugar on top, stop doing the fucking meth!
 
^Yeah-After I had a major psychological breakdown after a huge MDPV binge I just couldn't use any type of stimulant, even something weaker like Dexadrine or Adderall. I'd always wind up become paranoid and having both visual and audio hallucination. After about an eight month break from stimulants of any kind I was able to use them without having to suffer those consequences too badly. But some people aren't that lucky. Psychosis is scary and dangerous as hell, I've never had such incredibly real hallucinations-and the worst thing was that I would think to myself "no, this cant be real, why would a SWAT team raide my house just because I was shooting MDPV (which was still legal in NYC at the time)" but then I'd see my living room door pushed open and the tip of a sniper gun would enter and it looked SO fucking real that I'd once again instantly become convinced that this was DEFINATELY happening.
 
^I had the same thing with MDPV, when it was legal! I almost just wanted to call the police and get it over with! Instead of playing these games where they hang outside in the bushes for 7 hours....and then just go back to the police station when I start to come down!! I don't why they do that shit! Talk about a waste of taxpayer money!
 
I've experienced this phenomena too many times during extended stimulant use. The problem has always ceased shortly after terminating ingesting the stimulants, so that's the course I'd recommend.
I am not saying it is purely parasitosis, I still consider trans-dimensional parasites a plausible explanation, yet the fact remains regardless of the stimulant involved, when it was cocaine, methamphetamine, MDPV, or ethylphenidate, after I stopped using it within 24 hrs all signs of infestation disappear.

It's been a while since the opening post, and I hope everything is better now.

The above quote is golden.

I'm going to close this thread, but OP, highs&lows, if you have any updates that you want to share please PM me and we can take it from there.
