Stimulants Massive Headache while on crystal meth? (PS maybe Im dehydrated)

dont snort it ..shoot it up !! soo much stronger harder & better effect !! a full body orgasm !!! once u do it then u will understand ...its the only way to fly ..lol

Way to give absolutely stupid advice on a harm reduction website 8)

Relieving this thread because it's the same question but hasnt't quite answered it.

I started meth few weeks ago, and have been doign about a point on a weekend.

First few weeks were great, but then one time i smoked a bit and a pulsing, throbbing headache came on. Quite intense. Kept smoking, got worse, took a panadol, subsided after about an hour, and i enjoyed the high like normal.

Since then it has been happening every time, and it comes on sooner and more intense every time. Now it comes on straight away and it gets almost unbearable. I'll take a toke and it'll hit couple minutes later, THROB, THROB, THROB, THROB, and slowly slowly ebb away but it'll take quite a while to completely dissappear. In face it carries on for a few days even when i'm not smoking again.

What is this???
What should i do???

Please help. I miss that lovely high i used to get.

You should probably consider cutting back or stopping using altogether. Headaches like this can be caused by hypertension (high blood pressure) and its quite possible you're experiencing this from your use. Chronic hypertension puts stress on all of your blood vessels and your entire cardiovascular system, not something you want to risk for long.
 
its not a migraine is it? If you have never had one before you cant possibly imagine how horrible they are, if feels like someone is is shooting you in the eye with a 357 at super slow motion...itds like drilling throbbing pain, nausea and so on...

meth once triggered a really bad migraine once that was debilitating as i dont know what...
 
Every time we got on my gf gets headaches, I can't really say I ever do. She often seems to tense her muscles and clenches/chews/swallows a lot more as well
 
I've only taken low doses of Dexedrine/Adderall and I've never used crystal meth. The last time I took any I took 15mg of adderall years ago when studying for a university exam and reading an entire history textbook. I did redose not long maybe an hour or so after taking 10mg and later that night when I came home from hanging out with a friend I got a really bad headache and I felt sort of dizzy but I figured it happened from not eating enough even though I had forced myself to eat some food earlier, and I probably was dehydrated even though I drank water and drank a gatorade or powerade while driving with my friend that night.

When I took the amount I was prescribed at 5-10mg I never really got bad headaches.
 
Please don't bump old threads, it is unlikly the OP will see the responses now. Please start a new thread if you have any questions.
 
^What about everyone else that is wondering what that headache they got when on amphetamines was? This thread is not just for the OP.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the fact that it may be an overdose. Not overdose in the "Go to the ER, you're dying" sort of way, but in the sense that you dosed over what you should have. The one time i was careless about my dosing, upon come-up I got a killer headache that didn't go away until I started coming down a bit. And that was my first dose of the binge, too.
 
Vasoconstriction headache? You can take some Aspirin or Ibuprofen/APAP. Also, amps use up water at an ungodly rate, stay hydrated.
 
^Yeah, that's the culprit of these headaches. That or hypertension. Possible combination of both.
 
Hmm I shoot meth on occasion and one time, it was the first time in a few months (shooting criss), i shot and right along with the high was a KILLER headache that lasted a few hours. It really sucked, i took Tylonel but didn't help at all. But out of the say 20 times I shot criss it only happened that one time. I shot like 2 times sense and I've been fine.
 
need some help!!!

thanks for all the info on this i just did meth and it was the second time i've ever done it the first time i smoked it but this time i injected it and it felt amazing for about two minutes but then this massive headache came on and nothing i have done for the past hour and a half has done anything to help i took aleve and then some generic tylenol with a sleep aid ... i need you guys to tell me something thats going to work immediately please i dont think i can handle this much longer :( .... somebody shoot me please....
 
As listed before, try out Aspirin, maybe 81-325mg. I would recommend 400-600 ibuprofen but you already took Naproxen.

Also, drink a glass of water every 15 minutes at the least, while trying to get some some food in to you. Force feed yourself if you have to. Since I eat so often (4 hours), one way I eat whole wheat bread when I'm not hungry is to take a bite, and then get a mouthful of water to get the bread wet; should be much easier to chew and swallow that way. Protein bars and shakes are another easy addition to the bread, and an easy way to get some good fats is to make an olive oil bread dip.

Before you use meth, prepare yourself for it. Make sure you have an exact date in mind you plan on using. On the days leading up to your dose, exercise, eat a healthy diet, practice discipline on yourself knowing you will be giving your brain reward. If you do not focus on maintaining health before using drugs, you are rewarding yourself without effort (which is exactly what ingesting drugs like meth does on a neurological level, activates rewarding releases of dopamine & serotonin synthetically).
When drugs are used solely for their reward, we sacrifice our ability to use them properly as tools. Meth used on a whim can cause physical distress when we do not calculate as many factors as we can about the metabolic implications of the substance (this applies with all substances as well). NOW, back to the topic A headache develops while on meth, now the responsible thing any Bluelighter would do is gaze over common sources of info containing Methamphetamine's effect on the human body. Many explanations about meth headaches have been offered, I think dehydration is the culprit with any amph headaches. A very basic property of meth is its hygroscopic quality (moisture-absorbing). This being said, it can draw moisture from any tissue it comes into contact with, thus it is dehydrating. My advice, stock up on distilled water, others will tell you that it doesn't contain minerals but you should be consuming those with foods you eat. Distilled water tastes better when you're dehydrated and doesn't contain free radicals that tap water often carries. Every 2 hours fill up a 20oz bottle of filtered water, set a reminder every 2 hours after that on your phone to remind you for "water time". Make sure your water is drank after the alarm goes off (and be sure to fill it back up). Practice discipline, the people who made your drugs used discipline to create the drug, don't you think a fair exchange should be made? The more focus on your health & fitness, the more sweet the reward will taste.

From maybe 4 months ago, I was
Able to better understand why i was getting the headaches, it Really helped me and From what i see its helping many others just by reading all the feedback From the others. Thank you everyone for sharing.

I know your only trying to look out, but please try to be more,...well, LESS judgmental when responding. I don't like when people put down, or call people they don't know names like idiot. People come here for a place
To get help,answers,advice and maybe support about issues that most of the time are really hard to bring up due to fear of judgement, being ridiculed or talked to like a piece
Of crap. We don't know everyone's story or what they have been through, this is actually to everyone bashing the people who iv it. Until you walk in their shoes, don't judge. I agree that the needle is more addicting because I had that addiction before I had a meth addiction. I'm not gonna go into my whole story but
Please guys, I know MOST of you are just looking out, but you dunno what someone's dealin with. Don't forget about the depression that comes along with the meth. Try to choose your words more carefully. We're all guilty of something and nothing makes us better than someone else. <3
 
yea i have had very intense throbbing headaches. I get them almost right after I smoke. and b4 I smoke I eat n am well rested n drink plenty of fluids cuz I know i wont be doin any of this! So ned a new answer please!
