Tapering Off Methamphetamine
(Newest replies first)

My friend is desperately wanting to quit Tapering off methamphetamine after about 5 or 6 years of using. she only uses it now as needed to curb to pains she feels from withdrawals and has gone from using daily to only using every 2 or 3 days over the passed 5 months. She is trying to "taper" and doesn't use it to feel high anymore. she eats well, sleeps regularly and never looks tweaked out. Never misses work. she says she gets physically sick when withdrawing and would need a week or two off work in order to go cold turkey, so tapering is the only option she has right now. She says she hates everything about it and what its done to her and wants this taper schedule to work. Has anyone done this before, and if so, can you share your schedule and the things that worked best for you in stopping use completely? I want to help, but ive never used and only learning what I read online - which differs from group to group. I heard L Tyrosene works, but like I said... what do I know?? PLEASE ADVISE.

If you're still on your friend is still using methamphetamine you need to stop now! There is no tapering off you just have to quit, I'm a therapist and have worked in drug rehabs the only side effects really are excessive tiredness and hunger when you're withdrawing from methamphetamine, astragalus grab your heart and cause heart failure don't kid yourself into thinking you're titrating off just stop.

I am aware this was posted about a year ago but for anyone else thinking the same thing;

in my experience (not me personally but my friends etc) who have stopped taking it... they have all said cutting down doesn't work; you have to go cold turkey! But in my opinion I agree somewhat but disagree too...

I am currently in the process of trying to give up & I find cold turkey has made me want it more! As I know I can't/don't want it... so I find I break! Having some every now & then seems easier but for me I find I have heaps more than I usually would because I know in a day or two I won't be having it anymore!

So it's a tricky question to answer methamphetamine is the worst most addictive drug I have ever used! I hate being on it; but I love being on it if that makes any sense at all.... good luck I hope now it being a year down the track your friend has stopped completely ; if so I would love some advice on how she did it!!!!!!!!
