My boyfriend has been on a Meth/Coke binge since Sunday.


I haven't seen him like this before (we haven't been together that long...). He has become EXTREMELY paranoid and agitated .....


Anyways his supply is almost out and I'm just wondering what I should expect in terms of withdrawal?



I told him I'd be his support but I am not sure I can...


Thanks In Advance...

If he doesn't decide to quit, you won't be able to do anything. Just be patient, supportive, and friendly towards him. Don't nag, it'll make things worse.

As for the withdrawals, it all depends. I was mostly in bed depressed. Then again, seeing how I relapsed today, I doubt I'm the best person to give advice.

Edit:

Forgot to mention, stick around. I noticed people here are VERY friendly and understanding.

I haven't gone through it myself, but from what I've heard you can expect him being agitated, tired, depressed, itchy.

Thanks

He just bought another ... errr ... hit?
$20 -______-


This may be too much for me..
I will keep you all updated

Thanks

Zombie it's hard to predict what to expect. I recommend you hide all your money and valuable possessions though. Please be careful to.

ChooChooTrain

Please do. Best of luck until then.

P.S. What neferkamichael said. Hide it all. Better yet, move all your valuables to your parent's or friend's house.

If you have not been together too long you might want to cut and run. Go over to the friends and family forum and do some reading / posting. You can get a better idea of what you are up against. Good luck to you!

If you really love him and want him to really quit, you got to support him on a day to day basis, always checking on him to see his state of mind, make sure that he doesn't have drug around him that can male him get back on it. Also try to check him into rehab so he can get proper care and change his life around in a positive way.

Alright so his last 'line' of Meth was around 8am this morning.

He has been hallucinating pretty severely for about 2 days now.

How long can I expect this to last?

This is insane!

ChooChooTrain

Is there a specific reason as to why you put up with it?

zombienytmare

It is quite a long story to type out on my phone... but I will tomorrow when I'm not so .... tired ....


Basically a promise .....

ChooChooTrain

What sort of hallucinations is he having? Cops are outside the door waiting for him?

zombienytmare

Cops, people trying to steal things off the balcony, hearing voices, people setting him up, ect ....

ChooChooTrain

How long has he been awake?

ChooChooTrain

Either way, expect his psychosis to last until he falls asleep. It's not the meth, per se, but the lack of sleep that's making him see things that aren't there. Best of luck!

zombienytmare

Not more than 24hrs...

ChooChooTrain

Not sure about meth, but boy did I see some crazy stuff after being high on cocaine and awake for 40+ hours...
...and even crazier stuff after 60th hour.

ChooChooTrain

Whatever happens, just hope he falls asleep soon somehow. If he's up for days, your best option is to leave for the time being. Especailly if he's been smoking weed as well. It doesn't go all that well with stimulants.

Stick by him because this will end painfully, I know from experience. Once those are in an addicts system...to the end. I'll pray for him. I know what it feels like to hurt the ones you love with drugs

If you truly care about him, which it sounds like you do, then you need to leave him asap. He will eventually crash but afterwards he will go right back to the drugs. It will be an ongoing process & the best thing you can do for him is leave him. Don't be accepting of his behavior because it will only hurt him in the long run. Better for him to know you are against it.

Best of luck.
