There's just a couple of things I've been confused about in relation to amp use and wondered if anyone here could shed some light...

The last few times after using speed I've noticed quite bad bruises on my arms and legs the next day. At first I thought I'd probably just been clumsy when high and forgotton about bumping in to something but I only used lightly at the weekend and I'm pretty sure I remember everything. They're pretty dark but not very painful.

Also ...and this is only the second time this has happened but my lips feel 'burnt' and raw. The bottom ones' also quite swollen but I cant see any bite marks from where I might have bitten it while gurning etc. Although I have a nasty ulcer on the inside of my lip so that may have caused the swelling.

Lastly...I ALWAYS get purple knees when I do speed. I'm assuming this is due to the vasoconstriction but I was just wanting to confirm whether this was a typical reaction or a sign that you've overdone it/shouldnt be doing it. My family has a history of heart disease and generally rubbish, narrow arteries on one side, but I'm 22 and take good care of myself the rest of the time!
 
Your lips feeling "burnt" is common with speed due to dehydration. Most people on speed do not consume enough fluids, and become dehydrated. Your lips may then become dry, and chapped.

Also, if your smoking anything with a pipe, that may contribute to the burnt feeling.
 
hmm so dehydration can cause the chapped burnt feeling lips. I have the same problem every time i do mephedrone for a night. I hate it so much. They are raw and sore for like 3 or 4 days after i used meph.
 
Strong stimulants increase the use of water in the body, so meph probably contributed to your lips. They're very sensitive to changes in body moisture. You're probably a little below the "hydrated" line too.
 
idk about whats going on with you, but when I smoke meth for 2 days or more my eyes get black rings under them really bad...like bad bruises
 
burnig lips hurts so bad


i hate that about speed

my lips always get raped so my mom thinks im like addicted to meth
 
I thought it was pretty much common knowledge that dehydration caused chapped lips...

I've been addicted to chap stick for about 10 years now. Its the only addiction that I've never been able to kick. I can't go more than a few hours without using chap stick or some other type of lip balm. If I go a day without using some kind of lip balm my lips begin to burn extremely badly. They turn bright red and the skin around my lips turns red and starts to crack. I've had my lips bleed before from being so chapped.
