Stimulants Tweekreek?

[DirtySecret]

So I've been using for a while and I've noticed i'm rather odious after i use. I ask others and they say I smell clean, but I cant shake the feeling of a chem stench. I shower, use lotions, etc. Am I paranoid?

yeah, you can smell meth from a persons sweat apparently. it smells a little weird, but if you shower and people say you dont smell bad, then you're probably just a tad paranoid.

If people can smell meth on your sweat, or you THINK people can smell meth on your sweat... you are using too much meth.

Sweating under stressful conditions or while exhausted produces more odorous sweat and larger quantities of it.

I used to notice the same thing if i had been on a big drinking session. Really felt that I could smell the beer coming out of my sweat pores,horrible.
When in heroin withdrawls I would really smell, don't know what it was but something really made my sweat stink bad.

the smell is likely from not showering for a while combined with extra sweat from amphetamines

also^^ when in heroin withdrawal your sense of smell gets really sensitive, so you notice everything you had blocked out for days

No you're not paranoid, if you run your finger through your skin you will notice it's an oily substance. Very common with amphetamines, combined with dehydration, the sweat is concentrated and accelerated metabolism makes it accumulate fast.

Dehydration is my, dare I say, biggest flaw, here. (Almost hurt saying that considering we are talking about meth using)...I shower 3 times a day, deodarants, cocoa butter/or cologne...but there are waves of this pungent smell. I've read many posts on the subject, there is NO CLEAR ANSWER as to yes, there is TRULY a smell or ..no dipshit, you're paranoid as hell.
Either way, it's gottent to the point that it's no longer fun, know what that means. Time to stop.

showering 3x/day is too much; your skin needs to have some of it's natural oils on it to maintain itself - you are likely drying the heck out of your skin, or making it over-produce oil since you keep trying to wash it off.

and as you said, if dehydration is your biggest flaw (you're not drinking enough liquid/water) then it's going to be nearly impossible to maintain healthy skin and a non-offensive odor. One's level of hydration (or lack thereof) is nearly directly equal to how healthy your skin is/isn't.

these are your options:
-cease the use of the drug you think is causing a foul odor
-find more honest friends, or one's who stink worse than you
-be conscious of your liquid/h2o consumption. hydrate yourself. your body and your friends' noses will thank you.
-quit worrying about it (tweaking on it) and get some obviously much needed rest. fyi: if there is an actual offensive or different scent you are detecting, that scent is not "meth chemicals." it is the smell of exhaustion. when one has not had adequate rest and the body needs to shut down (sleep), it starts burning ketones which are excreted in your urine and sweat (and probably feces, I am too lazy to check right now) and can produce a strong odor which may be offensive.
