I was on Meth for a year. I'd binge on a teener of high quality ice over 2 to 3 days. The year before I was using about an 8 of cut up bad coke over the course of a weekend. Before that I was a social coke user. I'm at the one month point of sobriety and haven't been sleeping. Other than smoking cigarettes I haven't been using any stimulants. I've been hyperactive and acting crazy like I'm using. Has anyone else gone through this? Any remedies? I can't use Marajuana because I just got my job back. Thank you in advance.
 
You're sober but acting hyperactive? It could be that you were self-medicating with stimulants.

Have you thought about a diagnosis so you can get something less addictive as a medication for this behavioral issue?

It might also be a short-term effect of quitting; try to get another month or two under your belt. Take care and I am sorry MMJ is not an option.
 
Yes, I'm sober from meth and c. I have drank some alcohol. When I was using meth, I stopped drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes. It's so unhealthy, but smoking cigarettes like a chimney helped me get through this month. I've read these forums for years and I've never heard of insomnia and hyperactivity during meth withdrawal.
 
^ its different for everyone, mine was a hell ride until month 5. though it did thankfully follow a generally improving trajectory, with periods of a few days of feeling good here and there, up til then otherwise i wouldn't have made it that long.

well done OP on getting a month in.
