Is gaining weight after kicking a Meth addiction normal?



Yes. Try getting up one hour early everyday & take a brisk 30 minute walk - then - do the same thing again in the evening after dinner. After 90 days you will be surprised how much better you look & feel & your weight will have trimmed down nicely.

Try to stay on a healthy balanced diet if you can. Dump the junk food & starchy stuff. Drink plenty of water to help keep the traffic flowing.
Eat plenty of boiled or steamed veggies. Congratulations on your hard work getting off Meth.

What is the biological bases for crystal meth addiction?

I need to no how meth affects the brain (i.e meth might increase a certain type of neurotransmitter that causes meth abuse) and any other biological cause for the addiction


There are CAUSES of the addiction and COMSEQUENCES of such.
There are no known predisposing (genetic or otherwise) factors that will "push" anybody into metamphetamine addiction, as it happens with alcohol, for instance.
However, depressed people, looking for a "high" state, are naturally more prone to seek the stimulant effects of meta-amphetamines....
The effects on the brain, are basically, to mimick the actions of adrenaline and noradrenaline (norepinephrine), resulting in stimulation of the cortex and braistem structures, that give us the alert state (hypervigilant state), with some degree of excitation, insomnia and euphoria (a false sensation of well-being)
As it happens with other amphetamines, when somebody uses it, high blood pressure, cardiac arrhythmias, inflamation of some vessels in the base of the brain (arteritis) and many other will ensue.
If taken (or inhaled, as is the case of crystal) for several days, dependance is the rule, because when you stop taking them, the amount of adrenaline and norepinephrine in the brain, are not capable of giving that "high" state of mind...after depleting the brain of those normal substances, depression (sometimes severe) is the rule...
The difficulty here is, that crystal has to be inhaled to make it effective, and is extremely addictive, because it takes effect in the first two or three inhalations (seconds literally) and the euphoria and excitation are quite substantial with this meta amph....and so are the risks..

can methadone be used in treating crystal meth addiction?

I know someone who has used any type of speed he could get his hands on for the last 10 years.His drug of choice for the last few years has been crystal meth, or ice as it is called. He really wants to just have a normal life now but this addiction has a hold on him that he can't get loose from. I heard methadone clinics can help with this but I can't find anything on the net about it.


Hi, I am on Methadone Maintenance from addiction to Meth,we call it crank,over 15 years.

It depends how much Methadone it takes to make this person "comfortable",weather or not he will become addicted to the methadone.

The clinic I go to has 165 people there and alot of them get off it after a while.I will be taking it for the rest of my life, but that is ok with me.

You can Email me if you have any other Questions.

Does gambling addiction and meth addiction go hand in hand?

An old friend of mine, has recently gotten back into his gambling addiction, BIG TIME. He was also once into meth. If he has started gambling again, do you think he is probably back on meth again too?


Gambling addiction can be very serious. Many everyday people have lost jobs, friends, and loved ones simply because they could not break thier gambling habits. I suggest you seek some help. I found a site that has addiction information and a list of addiction treatment centers so you can help. http://www.addictionselfhelp.com

  • Recovering bMeth Addict/b Redmond O#39;Neal to Get a Reality Show b.../b

    Move over families that have 8 kids or more… the families of dead celebrities are the hottest thing in reality TV. First, the remaining Jackson brothers are going to get their own show, and now Redmond O’Neal , Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O’Neal’s son , is getting a show. In a deal brokered (of course) by daddy dearest Ryan O’Neal, the show will track Redmond’s struggle to recover from his crystal meth addiction . If you remember, both Ryan and Redmond were arrested at the home they share for possession of crystal meth. Where is Ryan’s struggle to stay sober? Is he using the old “I was just holding it for a friend” defense?

    Filming will start at the end of the year, when Redmond is released from prison . In prison, he is already undergoing intense drug counseling, but he’ll have to get healthy, stay clean, and get a job when he gets out.

    Rehabilitation from bmeth addiction/b - Narconon graduate shares story

    This is the story of ex- meth addict , Kyle. He came to Narconon® weighing about 165 pounds of “skin and bones.” says Kyle.

    Kyle’s parents got him to rehab as they realized his addiction was really dragging him down. His addiction went from being slightly controlled by meth to being absorbed by meth. His parents came to his house and said “Hey we found a place called Narconon and its out in California, would you like to go?” Kyle at this point was looking for help so he jumped at the chance to get help with his addiction.

    Now at this point you may wonder how Kyle got into meth and thus became addicted to it. In his video, Kyle says that he was a weekend party man and some “friends” of his brought meth to the party. Kyle tried it and says that he couldn’t get enough of it. He thought he wouldn’t get addicted to meth as he didn’t know too much about it and compared it to cocaine. His hopes about meth were proved wrong and he dropped into an approximate 4 year addiction.
