Watch the video to learn how to quit meth for good! ➡️ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fs5naJiAx5uYl30.html

I've been clean for about 8 months now!!! Just started a new job today and I've never been happier. For anyone living through this awful addiction I just want you to know there is hope and you can overcome this! 💯

My son is a meth user and it absolutely breaks my heart. I wish he would decide to accept the help he needs, but he absolutely refuses. He has stolen so many things from us and other people and I just don’t know what else to do. So I pray for him everyday.

I’ve been clean for 5 years now 🙏

Im 9 months sober from crack cocaine, crystal meth and Alchol. ❤ I thank my higher power for keeping me sober. I wish those in addiction seek healing. I pray for those who suffering with addiction. Addiction is a nasty disease. I don't wish it on my worst enemy

I suffered from crystal addiction from 14 years old and went to rehab at 17 I’m 21 years old I’ve had a relapse at 19 from not coping well with the loss of my father to lung cancer but I haven’t had a relapse since I’m 21 now it’s hard but Ik I can do it and it’s worth the fight

My loved one did Meth for a decade. He was injecting. Sadly because of his lifestyle someone murdered him. However I always felt the drug would eventually kill him because he looked so sick. Many of us have been left heartbroken. I wish he would have been willing to quit.

Watching in Memory of my very 1st Cousin, James. He was an alcoholic for many many years. Functioning, if there really is such a thing. We knew he was not doing well, just not the why. Thought he got sick, lost his place, living in his car, a month in jail. $ was given in love, over and over. But we did not know that he had added meth into the mix. Surrounded by people who used him for whatever he had left. A year ago this month he hung himself. I try not to think about those last moments. Still wish I could just go scoop him up and save him. We lost our Papa to Alzheimer’s in 2020, then Uncle Tim 8 days later from Covid in 2021, and then James in 2022. Three generations Father, son, son. Gone. Miss them so much. Holding on to the believe they will be right there in heaven waiting for us. No one can handle meth, it handles U. Please decide U want a different ending and a better life. Then find a way to do the work with professionals. Save yourself, and you’ll also save your village, who do Love you so

Clean for 168 days we do recover

Meth was my best friend well i though so. Now since I'm living recovery meth or my friends didn't care about me . Surround yourself with positivity ❤

I really think y'all might be surprised to find out how many users present as "normal" people you interact with on a daily basis. They could be your respected neighbor, your co-worker, ur waitress at the restaurant, etc. I'm not trying to say it is not dangerous or that it doesn't destroy your life. It can & will! Im.just saying sometimes it ain't so easy to see the signs in some people & they're able to keep it hidden so well. my husband's behavior never changed. I never even suspected it. He never picked his face. Didn't lose weight. Kept his job. Paid the bills. Nothing noticeable ever changed with him. No one in his life suspected it. No one.

It is also important to know that Bipolar 1 disorder with psychotic features can greatly resemble methamphetamine abuse in the manic phase. I am lucky enough to have both bipolar 1 disorder with psychotic features and a history with methamphetamine and heroin addiction (Proud to be almost six years clean now). The unfortunate thing about this is that every time I've had a manic episode, everyone automatically assumes that I have relapsed. It is important to not accuse someone of using methamphetamine if you aren't one hundred percent sure or close to it. When I had my first manic episode, everyone was very quick to assume that I was using again which caused a significant delay in getting medical intervention. The manic episode kept progressing and I eventually went into full blown psychosis with constant auditory hallucinations, paranoid delusions, and a whole bunch of other fun stuff that I only half remember experiencing. It took me landing in the psych ward for my friends and family to believe me. I know it can be hard or sometimes impossible even to fully trust someone who has addiction history, but if they suddenly start to show any signs of psychosis, they need help immediately, no matter what caused it. Psychosis and Mania can both be very dangerous or even fatal for the sufferer if it goes unchecked for long enough. Even if it does end up being from meth or recreational stimulants, its important to remember that psychosis is a legitimate medical emergency.

Thank God I'm free.....17 years sober and love it.

Ty Dr. B....new ICU nurse here...Addicts are the people who inspired my nursing... You have helped me learn more.

You kill these videos man so accurate don't ever stop these . They should use them for teaching addiction treatment.

Thank you Dr B for All of your hard work every day!! You are appreciated by me for sure!!!

I started using meth to give me focus and get through the days. In the beginning and after the initial euphoria, it made me very functional and no one suspected. That effect wore off after a year and then it started to make me just sit for hours, binge watching KZfaq, series and movies. The lack of sleep sapped my energy and made me completely dysfunctional and a hypersomniac. No weight loss, no bizarre psychosis - Ive recently stopped…

I’m prescribed 20 mg adderall for ADHD which is brought on, in part, by a genetic blood disorder. I feel insecure and stigmatized because most people don’t understand either. I really appreciate this Dr distinguishing what meth addiction really is. Thank you 🙏

I only sleep 2-3 times a week, eat 2-3 times a week sometimes and I lost 112 lbs in 8 months. My boyfriend goes through psychosis, very dangerous for me and we both hyper focus on different things. We say we're stopping and stay clean a couple weeks and then one of us decides one 8b won't hurt. Back and forth. Getting harder to maintain. I finally started counseling last month

26 months clean from shooting meth... 💯🙏

I’ve been clean for 10 years September 28 th♥️

Both of my sons 36 & 21 yrs old are meth users. My youngest one know he's got a problem and is trying to get clean. My oldest one doesn't think it's a problem It breaks my heart. I feel so helpless. I don't know, as a mother, how to help my sons....

clean for 3months now .. 🤲

I'll tell you what is a real head scratcher. When your parents(s) have used all your life and their whole personality is meth addiction.

Hey dr b always giving us your knowledge thank u love ya

My daughter , do use. She claims she is not addicted. Yet, she gets so angry if you speak to her about rehab. And has been using for at least a couple years. How much, that I don't know. But, she's lost so much weight. Talks a mile a min has angry outburst. Displays many symptoms of having an addiction. Please pray for her.

When visiting their house👉the Venetian blinds are usually broken at the peering out eye level from constantly looking out the blinds

My baby’s father..I know for a fact he is taking “exos” that contain meth and cocaine. He gets so angry at me at the drop of a hat and has said the most crazy things to me. He gets so enraged and it is the most exhausting thing and I just want help for him.

I did meth for 12+ years. Ive been to rehab 6 times 6 month programs and 3 month programs. The last program I went to was a 21 day program and it changed my life. I've been clean now almost 3 years and I love it 😁

I’ve never did meth but did coke for years on the weekends the good coke ( in the 79s early 80s) was so pure. The high is so subtle you almost have to stop and ask yourself if your high. Never had an issue always kept my credit up FICO score in the 700s never lost a day of work. I stopped because I became a father and that’s the ultimate high to me. now I don’t even drink. But I honestly never was negatively impacted by my drug use.

You hit the nail on the head Doc

This is so helpful

Never had a probelm with stimulants, but I did have an on and off addiction to opioids. After I overdosed and nearly died, my family just didn’t deserve to have to worry that much. Now my relationships are much better and I’m much happier. Addiction is awful. Hate it so much, it’s just so destructive.

I’m so glad I came across this video. Found out my 24 year old son has been using for about six months. He has all the symptoms u mentioned. It breaks my heart. He’s disrupting the entire house. He refuses help. I’m ready to put him out, but I know he won’t make it (lost his job behind all of this). What do I do

Doc B, thankyou for putting your presentation simple, like you said Distilled. For me your explanations of what to look for was good. Cheer's

I regret ever being introduced to meth ☹️ I need help

I have a friend that does pot, edibles, shrooms and meth. In fact, I asked once, have we ever been together where you haven’t been on some substance and he said no. He’s so casual about the whole thing. Yet, I feel he wants me to know. Almost like a passive aggressive way of asking for help. I have no idea how much money he spends. Lately he has smoked meth in front of me twice. Once on FaceTime and in person. I don’t say anything....he knows I don’t approve. But, I feel I’m an enabler.

Super informative video. It would have been very entertaining if every minute, Dr B looked more haggard, hyperactive and displayed the addiction symptoms himself.. That way we get a visual example what the general behavior looks like

Great Video!

I have decided to get off dope. So have been listening to your videos for an hour a day😂😊

Unfortunately I used meth for about 10 years. It messed me up so bad. Thank you Dr. B for this video!!❤

Thank you Dr.B ❤️

ThankYou 4 Sharing N Caring ❤🎉MuchLove ❤🎉

Am having a hard time seeing signs of Meth use in my homeless. What signs can you look for if they come to you during a period of being sober?

Samsha .. I’m sorry for those who are going through this

GoodEvening Dr.B ❤🎉

Dr B. I heard it's possible to have Suboxone visits online now because of covid. Is this true?

Thank you so much.

Yes you tell lol from their eyes , the way they move , their face, the way they talk ( they can’t , they mumble fast they only say the first and last silibles of the word the middle part disappears) and how the move their mouth . They’re also paranoid

One clear sign for me is collecting stuff. Not hoarding, just constant collection of junk they fiddle with all night long. I know many ppl on meth. They think everyone is stealing from them. I've seen up close meth induced psychosis. They also tend to try and find a depressant to put themselves to sleep after being up for days. I see the rage when they don't have meth. Some are motor mouth but some aren't.

The best person to give advice is a recovering addict! They make the best councillors!

Very important details and I might add trauma can cause erratic behavior but details are important!

Hey Doc! Keep up the good work.:) Doing okay given the current, “new normal “. Arizona is got a hot as hell. hahaha. Kind of missing the Seattle Summer of love!;) 🙃

Who I thought was gonna be the best girlfriend I could ever ask for hid using from me and she actually tried to stop cuz her behavior changed and she was so pleasant to be around. Her laugh was contagious and had beautiful eyes and smile let the monster get the best of her and had to make her go home and block her from my life. I’m hurt and feel terrible but I can’t make her pick cuz she made it clear she would keep taking aderall so that was my first sign. Sad to watch her and her mother pack her things and go but it had to happen. I hope she gets clean from everything and finds true love. Cuz mine wasn’t enough.

Use everyday and you start sleeping everyday. Currently going on week 3 of daily use. 4 year user. It's either get sober or die of a heart attack before 30. I going nothing to lose by giving sobriety another attempt.

It’s very sad watching a loved one, under the influence of crystal meth! It truly ruins family’s! My daughter is 34, and Tries to hide that fact, but her anger is unbelievable, no one wants her around , and she thinks she’s fooling everyone! We have tried everything, there is no talking to her, we paid $60,000 for rehab for 2 months. That didn’t work, waste of money. Your just making them rich, and walking out broke! The system in place is for paying customers, if you can’t afford rehab, you go on the waiting list, by the time they call u a year later your dead!!!!! That’s how it works here in Canada! Drs don’t care about you, it’s just money

I’m not a huge meth fan it freaks me out I do shifts of 16 on that shit idk I have panic attacks and shit

What do you recommend for prescription for physcosis meth when getting off meth going on week 3 finding myself micro dosing to help ease the physcosis.

Hello Dr. B, another interesting informative video. Do you think if a Meth addict lost their access to Meth would they be inclined to find an addiction to another drug ? I'm wondering is an addict of one drug prone to an addiction to anything that stimulates them ? Thank you for all that you do

Can you function a daily life. Does someone taking an anti sycotic drug taken with meth keep you calm.

Wow. Yea I put my family through a lot

Thankfully I’ve been cleaning for a year and two months now but all I Gotta say is it was the best thing I could’ve ever done but it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done I started using because my mother and my father were using around me and I started using when I was 11 years old and I was using until the age 14 and this goes to tell you how your parents can have an effect on your life I get craving still but when I do to ignore it are usually work on cars or a hobby of mine color anything to get my hands moving to where I don’t think about it because if I’m thinking about what I’m doing with my hands I’m not thinking about the addiction and what I want to do

Hey Dr. B is this a good way to describe MDMA a mix of psychedelic + meth.

So what do we do for those military children that were put on Ritalin and other psychotics back in the 90s and 00s because mental health providers and teachers didnt understand ADD/ADHD and then meds were continued for 10+ years and then stopped or they were dropped from insurance and couldn't acquire prescriptions? ADD/ADHD meds are a few components away from actual methamphetamine so why aren't we as parents and educators not given that information? Just that it will help their focus and hyperactivity and could potentially make them lose weight. Do you feel the influx of meth use is due to people that were prescribed or had access to these meds and no longer do and then turn to meth?

Hey dr B I am in your area and I’m wondering if I could come see you for a visit my dose is consistent at 4mg and I could really use a person that knows a lot about poly abuse but been doing good just my mind is telling me I’m worthless even when I try and feel proud I still get full blown flashbacks car accident mountain gave me epilepsy and PTSD would be cool to seek more knowledge I can’t do it alone but with good friends I know I can ;) ty Dr. B

Why does a man that has done meth get mad that I excuse him of doing it when he acts differently why does he rage out ?

Gazing though the window from my bedroom At the world outside .. amazed how the time flys... life rolls by... kinda makes me wanna cry.. I might go and close the blinds .. sometimes I wish I could teleport back in time before I ignored all the warning signs ..when the clouds started forming I'd go back inside and hide before it started storming safe from the rain and warm and dry before these dark circles were around they surround my eyes .. before I turned into a ghost ..it's like I died.. I did inside I look like a zombie hypnotized occupied by a parisite I'm it's host it thrives ..it's alive ..it resides inside my mind I realized this life's no longer mine.. Gave the devil a ride.. took the wheel from me now he drives A hundred in a forty five along the country side .. to tired to run ...to grown to hide.. You can ostracize me and I wouldn't mind Chastise me if you feel inclined ..it's fine I can't fight I never been this tired I Haven't slept in days.. I don't even look alive lost track of time ..wanna leave my past behind ..why can't I ? maybe cause Im always high I can't remember whens the last time I ate ..losin weight ..up all night ..I stink ... it's a shame what a waist . Im probably infected by a sti.. I wouldn't be surprised if I've contracted aids I think I been replaced by this other thing I fuckin hate We look alike but we don't vibe the same cause James went away the things he would do ..The things he would say .. the way that he behaved.. Fuckin up everything he always stayed in the way .. he had to go ...that's his fate no need to deliberate . Ain't no way.. he couldn't stay ... don't defibrillate. .. let his papers say do not resuscitate let him slip away n when you think he died.. stay there by the door and wait ... till his muthafuckin color change...let the rigor mortis take Orderly navigate bottom floor that's the fuckin morgue I think... Cremate his remains.. incinerate He's on the way to another place in the sky .... That's a lie he probably ain't ..we all know why N He don't need no luggage where he's goin tell Judson we said hi maybe he waited up ...ya couldn't be that far behind just a matter of time Don't fight the reaper they say it's easier if you just enjoy the ride .. Choose to live or choose to fkn die choose wisely .. or choose the fuckin afterlife Bonvoredge goodbye until the next time If there is one ... Goodnight

Y'know... my brother, about 6 months ago, started dating this girl. Soon he began acting different. Like he had another personality. That was angry and verbally abusive. He was already a "functioning" alcoholic who drank beer at night, but he knew to stay away from liquor. So I assumed it was the liquor. Then he got arrested for coke. Which made sense because he was previously dating a coke addict. So, I was like maybe it's the coke and/or liquor. Today he finally was sober enough that I got to talk to my actual brother for the first time in 6 months. During this talk he mentioned something I had been suspecting. That the girl he had been seeing was doing meth. He told me before he suspected her of secretly doing something. But it was not until now that he said it was meth. Before I had only suspect the same, myself. So, now i'm thinking he was actually doing meth. But who knows. It could be just coke too, I guess. But I did coke before for a couple years and don't remember acting like that. I had many friends doing it too and none of them acted that way. So, in 6 months he got fired, never got another job, quit his hobbies, got a DUI, got arrested for coke, crashed his car, pissed off all his family and friends, lost over 60 pounds, changed personalities, became verbally abusive, talked 100 mph, never let anyone speak, started bossing people around on the phone, demanding that they "just listen!" He called me 300 times in 2 months! He became a literal Mr. Hyde. He got evicted but is still living there for now... I dunno if it's meth or just the coke, but now that he said she was doing meth it's making more sense to think he was too. Now I have more studying to do.

I try to sleep and everyone else is up. Or like when I want to use the bathroom so does everyone in the house it. Happens more while meth physcosis. I feel like we are connected . I am also a reiki

Your 100%- Correct....My Son has this issue..🙄😢😢

Been on subutex for 2 years now only on 3.2mg i have a 2mg one and 4 0.4mg ones so scared to come off them but i dont like having something controlling my life. What would you suggest Dr. B ive watched all your subutex videos please help ❤️

Another major giveaway that I'm kind of surprised wasn't mentioned: the first time you see a specific person you know while they're on meth, you will be able to tell almost instantly that something is off because their eyes are always wide open and bulging, and they basically constantly look surprised

Had a relapse after years and years another relapse is lasted longer in the first go-around I want to stop scared of what that means ashamed

I never messed w any drugs my entire life nor I ever smoked . Maybe a lil alcohols b4 I have my oldest but never my cup of tea . However , for those going through addictions not to feels shame but accepted the facts it not good for you or your health and seek help for the sake of your love ones . Nothing is more hurtful than love ones watching you going spirals because you are way better than that .

Any advice on how to talk to someone about it and how to help them

My ex husband used for years without my knowledge...I'm very nieve about drugs, but have learned a lot since I left him.. friends gave me information, asked me questions that you could have knocked me over with a feather....I lost everything because of him and I never touched the stuff...you can also have sex (long term) with someone who uses and it gets in your system and you start showing symptoms too

9:43 Is that misspelled to boost engagement? You got me.

I suspect my husband is using some type of drug. Sometimes he wont sleep for 3 days and stays up painting and doing random pointless things with incredible energy. When he's acting like this, he wont eat and even lies about eating. When I ask if he's using any drugs he gets really angry fast and snaps . I've also notice that he talks a lot and really fast and seems excited and happy for no reason. After that behavior he tends to sleep for hours and goes back to acting normal. He makes me feel like I'm crazy and its really effecting my mental state because he swears and promises that he's not lying to me or using anything. Can someone please let me know if what I explain sounds like he's using something? Or am I crazy for thinking this?

So what do I do? I’m lost and I need help. Please?

How long after quitting should a person have delusions or hallucinations?

If anyone still sees this and can answer back I'd appreciate it..I'm in Canada and I'm being treated using 110mg of Vyvanse every morning in place of methamphetamine..I've been clean 2 weeks after using the Vyvanse for 4 weeks..any thoughts?

I think my friend is definitely using 😔 I Wanna help her

I enjoy your videos and find them insightful. You are not a dressing the functional user. Somebody who sleeps hasn't lost much if any weight does not have hallucinations who still holds down a job does not pick at their body but is a daily user for years. Is treatment different for this person and how can use be identified by family or friends?

HELP! I came home from a trip last year to my partner of 8 years TWEAKING! In all those years he NEVER did drugs and was a happy man. I forgave him. I summed it up to a mental breakdown. He promised it would never happen again. Here I am a year later, I went on a trip out of town, I got back home...AND HE IS TWEAKING AGAIN!

Bruh i just snorted meth 8 days ago.It is realy not that adictiv for me.Ofc i feel kinda a rush and i was kinda paranoid then i couldnt sit because i just wanted to do something.I snorted with a couple of friends like 6-8 lines.The comedown sucked but after that day i wont use it again because i get paranoid.

Can prescription meds cause meth symptoms?? My old man is a heart patient. He takes lots a meds a day.. but here lately new symptoms have started.stop sleeping rapid jerking body movements ( restless leg syndrome) supposedly lost weight 217to 185 in weeks itching all over?

I've seen many videos and know the symptoms and even tried it my self I just feel like indont fully know

I had to call 911 two nights ago at Fred Meyer because a man ripped his shirt off, was running with a knife, and acted like he was going to cut himself. He was standing and staring at a display in housewares for a long time and police had no problem apprehending him except for him yelling, “WHAT THE HELL, MAN?” He knocked something off a shelf and it shattered. Does that sound like meth?

How do I regain the same sexual health post Meth/MDMA abuse? Timeline and exercises? (I have had a 2 years of heavy use with a hard cold turkey stop 3 weeks ago) ...

How do you help someone in addiction with meth that doesnt know their in addiction with methand cant see the issue because their mind isnt there to ubderstand they need help? We are seeing extreme psychosis, 3 to 4 days of no sleep, violence, etc. His gf thought cocaine was okay to use and encouraged the use with him and then he must have gotten cocaine mixed and is now hooked. The family really needs guidance on getting help for him before its too late. Any suggestions are welcomed.

It’s either meth or mania. VERY similar to my bipolar hypomania.

Thank you finally someone that is talking to where I don’t feel crazy for blaming my mom for being in meth , I love my mom but I am not going to provide a way for her to use

When im busy or when i travel to some where, where i cant get meth i can stay for a month wiz out smoking . But i cant stop and i always try to find reason to smoke, i dont even want to go to work, i dont work much......, i dunno how i can stop this shit 😢.

A long-time, once very close friend of mine recently passed away under suspish circumstance. This person moved away from friends & family. Before that, the behavior was strange. Off. By social media it was clear she was moving from place to place & not keeping a job. Lost a crapload of weight. Looked 10 yrs older than actual age within a period of a yr or 2. Never would tell anyone what's up. Denied drug use. Was found dead at 39 by god knows whoever went to check on her at this place she was living looked like living out of a bedroom. All selfies were in this room. Like the last 30+ pics posted within the last yr and a half were all on a bed. Even food pics... plate on a bed. Would make and cancel plans to meet up with friends from back home. The only thing i know is that dehydration was "the cause of death" supposedly.

I noticed his eyes were going to side to side when I was talking to him and his face and eyes was jerking? Is that something meth does to someone?

Are there any drugs other than Meth that can possibly have a chemical structure similar to Meth on a hospital lab test?

Doesn’t it mess up the brain. How does the brain repair itself after receiving help My ex boyfriend is in jail now and he did meth and it changed him into an evil person. But it’s been 2 months, he’s been in jail for 2 months and he still doesn’t sound like himself

How can I stop someone from using crystal meth or even cocaine?

Staring out the window or waiting for an even (like a car to pass) for hours

Dr. do they grind their teeth while high on it?
