Honestly this has been a MAJOR ISSUE for years in Mental Health facilities. We were constantly getting patients rushed over to our unit with a dx of schizo affective or bipolar disorder when after 24 hours of solid sleep 💤 the patients typically HAD ZERO or very minimal psychosis. However the agitation & refusals of treatment made dealing with these patients on an acute locked psychiatric unit difficult at best, DANGEROUS at its worst.
ER physicians need to be trained how to identify a patients need for DETOX vs acute longer psychiatric admission.
The nurses thank you 😊🙏
You have no idea how much I appreciate these videos ❤
@@therealMelB Ahhhh Nurses. Miss you guys so much. I spent most of my career in an academic hospital. Thank you.
On my first breakout I was scared to death. I thought it was bed bug bites... until I saw a doc. but I googled and read a lot and realised the painful part is the blisters. For anyone who got the herpes virus the best thing to do is contact (doctorojie@gmail.com) . And live healthy. let your immune system do the fighting..
I NEED HELP ASAP. Very impressed with your knowledge. I respect this greatly. I’ve 30yrs of meth use. I NEED HELP NOW! I’m in Iowa. I refuse to go thru this again with what I have been thru without an educated empathic honest healer. Seriously, doc. Where can I get help?
I just went through a very scary psychotic break. It was traumatic that I have a bit of trouble watching this since it happened so recently, but I needed to. I knew exactly why this happened, I mixed adderall and meth but I'm 26 years old and have had a very hard life...especially the last 2 years I've gotten to rock bottom which was this psychosis. I was mixed in my agitation, I thought people were here that I loved and even my favorite rapper. So many other things I started out 3 days awake, day 3 was the pyschosis. I think it went on for hours until someone stepped in,, there was no way of knowing for me.. I was looking for my cat and this is the 7th cat I lost with a big move and so I am very non-violent. I was screaming at people on my porch that weren't there. Ect. But I did stop as soon as my parents saw me punching absolutely nothing in my window and screaming at a figure I saw and they couldn't, they took all my medication. Tried to admit me and all kinds of reasons I was so afraid to speak to anyone about the truth.. I was definitely not aware of the scientific reasons for this but I do try and look back and see what I did and I thank God for my father who was a nurse and voice of reason. He held my hands and said "honey there is no one here in your room, you are saying things that can't be possible for me to have my favorite rapper from Canada there, it was because I was playing his music, I have been very lonely and I think part of me created this delusion to comfort myself I was also 'helping a woman overdosing from heroin' very very real until my dad told me that then it was just straight panic and I didn't know if I was ever going to get out of it. In hindsight this was only a matter of 4 hours, which felt like 12 plus. Which I didn't do meth at my home but I got dropped off and was coming down and wanted to stay up to help the person in my bed, help everyone and find my cat. I definitely will NEVER even talk to anyone with meth anymore and I feel bad for these friends and their kid...but it's for survival..I can't save them, you know. 😔 and I've had a full life full of trying drugs, selling them all kinds of trauma. A DUI wreck that was a suicide attempt, I think I'm safe because I deserve to be alive and be a voice for people who get called crazy and druggie but the real gateway drug is trauma. Please ANYONE who is struggling, just stop ✋ 😔 smash your pipe, throw away the fucking battery acid, it is not worth it. I thought I was mentally strong because I've fought off so many bad trips. I have done meth for 3 days on multiple occasions thinking it was OK. But it brings out your underlying medical disorders and causes breaks in your own brain. I'm 26 years old and mentally disabled. I won't ever be the same after this shit happened to me. I even got my front tooth knocked out by a man who took videos and sold them of me and him having sex. It's things I've done that will haunt me forever. But I know now that on the other side of my horrible HORRIBLE feelings during those days I remember I had no mean spirit. No mean lies holding onto nothing but my honest helpful soul. I almost took my life but I like to say I was afraid of the dark...but then I realized I'm the light and the dark is afraid of me . Because the DARK will not win. I smile everyday when I wake up and still have my heart ❤ I will repair my brain to only do what I need to do to get better so I can help other people or animals in some way shape or form.
If it's okay, can I ask if this psychosis was first and last time you did drugs? I'm asking because I have bad come downs and withdrawals because of what you said how it messes up your brain. But everytime I have my little death basically and say never again I go running back a month or so later. So if you stayed off some tips or info will help. Thanks
@@loonytoon2093 my tips to myself were to learn discipline and distance myself from the people who use. Very mindful of what I do and what triggers me. And I did use again many times... I tell myself I never do it alone and if I'm up that long I force food into me. I do not buy it. And it's easier to remember that I shouldn't buy it when I don't bring money. But that doesn't mean I haven't had a bad experience again and again. I don't mix drugs or alcohol. And I throw my phone on a drawer if I feel like hitting people up.
My tip, do something you enjoy and try to love yourself enough that you don't need drugs. Realize that you are neglecting someone who you love and that could be your dog or cat but more importantly yourself. Our minds are so powerful, don't put holes in your brain and once you stay clean long enough you'll see your craving subsidies but you should see how much you are missing outside, you will understand that all those drugs do is create false confidence. It's all fake. It's like putting on a VR headset. Those people who use aren't your friends. And the world is not the enemy. I believe in you. And if you wanna use something, I suggest you ask yourself why? Then try 3 alternatives to using, whatever it may be, eating, exercise, anything outside. And don't drink it lowers your inhibitions to make choosing dope easy. Don't replace the drugs of choice with more drugs. It won't be the same and make you crave more. The point is to know that no matter what, even a hit can take you into a plac3 where you think it's ok to do more and even if a month of doing drugs was fun and nothing bad happened, it'll be all you need to use again. But it will catch up to you. Cycles repeat themselves and habits do too. So trying to change the little things, is about all you can do. Until you're happy with being alone without substances. It's lifelong battle. But help is out there. Therapy, and losing my dad helped me. 😔 because I don't wanna dissappear and lose an animal while I'm high or another friend. No one can save you but yourself, but asking for help professionally is no shameful act, in fact it's the strongest thing you can do.
Lmao it happens to me, finna pop out i know the trick yessurv
I think I'm going through something its so crazy I say to my self that can't be but something always reassures of what I'm living and its scares me , I think I wasnt a heavy user but some how I think I'm having like a psychosis
What do you do when they’re grown , have no insurance and don’t think they have a problem but living in your house and destroying your family … how do you find help seriously , anyone have any ideas ?
I have a 25 yr old son who has schizophrenia which is pretty well managed until he gets into meth...then he goes off the deep end. It's difficult to get help, I know! I highly recommend joining a couple of support groups, I've learned a lot in my support groups. If your child has a mental health diagnosis, which many of them do, you may be able to get him/her Medicare/Medicaid. No easy answers, it's a struggle almost daily! Support groups help though.
Mine is my 42 year old hubby. He has been an addict for 25 years. His drug of choice was heroin. We’ve been on methadone for 4 years now.
Anyway, he has Hep-C, which makes me theorize the psychosis he experiences when he takes any Meth, Amphetamine (adderall or Dexidrine), MDMA/ecstasy/Molly, or any other derivative thereof.
Honestly, while he’s high, you can’t even tell…..except for his unusually good mood, but he’s such a happy go lucky guy, a good mood isn’t necessarily indicative of anything. It’s when it starts wearing off that the insanity ensues!
The first tell is his mouth…..you would think it would be obvious while he’s rushing, but he has control of it then, but he loses all control once it’s wearing off. Anyway, his mouth starts going crazy, his tongue too. He also starts saying things that make no sense whatsoever. Like, we’ll just be having a normal conversation and all of a sudden, he’ll say something completely out of left field, like, I cut my meat with a 7.62 x 39, which is an AK47. When I’m like WHAT?!?!, he tries to play it off. “No, no, no, I have a knife’ serrated and they’re 7.62mm apart.” You know, because I’m an idiot…..🤦♀️
As the day progresses, so does the madness. He literally starts to look like a video of people on Flakka. I call it, “the zombie dance”. When he lays down, he looks like a fish outta water, floppin around. He starts hollering and screaming, making fart noises with his mouth, our room gets destroyed, dry heaving and sometimes it’s not so dry, all over the bedroom! Lucky him, he gets to have nearly no memory of the ordeal.
Timeline is literally like:
Say, takes any of the above listed drugs at 6am, Monday morning. 24 hrs later and having not slept, we’ll get up and go to the methadone clinic.
10am - random nonsense sentences……AK47 knife serrates and whatnot! Isn’t too bad yet though, because he’s up and moving around.
6pm - mouth starts it’s nonsense. 10pm - trying to lay still with a lot of twitching. Is also still denying he took anything, random groans.
6am, now Wednesday, mouth is off the hinges, incoherent for the most part, flopping, and that GD tongue…….I just wanna cut it off. 1pm - He’ll start talking about going to bed and “lay down”. Violent thrashing, yelling/screaming, if it was meth he’s now hallucinating. He sounds as though he needs an exorcism , I wish I was exaggerating. Somewhere around 1-2am Thursday, he’ll finally fall asleep. Then all day long, I get to hear about how stupid he is, asks himself why does he do this and apologizing.
We have a 5 year old daughter who doesn’t even ask what’s wrong with him, like it’s just something daddy does. For that final night, I typically take my little girl to a hotel.
I’ve tried everything short of leaving to get him to stop this. It’s gonna kill him. He’s a gun collector, how can I know he won’t kill us or himself while out of control? I’ve recorded him and showed it to him, I’ve threatened to leave, I’ve smacked him upside the head (not saying it was right, just trying to be honest), I’ve tried guilt, crying. He always promises he’ll never do it again and I always promise I’ll leave if he does…….we’re both liars, I reckon. 😢 😭
I wish I had a solution for you, myself, him, and my little pumpkin. I would wish this 💩 on anyone, not even my worse enemy. Sorry so long
I have had an extremely hard time finding long term help with same issues. In Tn Crisis will take him If the voices are telling him to kill himself or he is catatonic. It's called a 6404. The problem is they only keep him for a week, maybe 2. NOT REALLY HELPING. ITS MORE LIKE HOLDING HIM TO MAKE SURE HE DOESNT HURT HIMSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE. HE HAS TO AGREE TO LONG TERM CARE OR ITS NOT AN OPTION.
@@marthawatkins7184 thank you and all of you for commenting because I do feel so alone in this . I’m married and have been with my hubby for almost 18 years but he is his step father and even tho he the best man I’ve ever met … it’s just not the same , he isn’t his child so he can disassociate from it . A little update , they finally put him in jail on the 20 FTA’s lol he had and he has sat there from October to today . That was the good news because he was forced to remain sober inside , but he is still hearing things even with the meth out of his system and he told me the ghost is real so idk what to make of that .. maybe he has long term brain damage now or was he always schizophrenic and it just brought that out .. I’ve read that it can take a year or so for the brain to heal and make sense , but I’m scared now because instead of going to rehab the day he gets out ( or tonight at 11 pm rather 🤨) he wants to stay out a few days to “ go get my stuff from friends houses ) and he is homeless , he can’t stay here after all he has done to us …. Therefore he will stay with some dope head and be back on meth / spice , walking the city we live in , and talking to the clouds about vampires by Thursday . It sounds funny but it is the truth and I is destroying me :( I will definitely be looking into support groups tho !!! ❤️🩹
@@justkaren6450 do they not do a pee screen when he goes to clinic ? I’m be completely honest with you hun , my sons father got on Meth when the children were very young and he began beating on me during his psychotic episodes .. paranoid and jealous and just crazy !!! I was beat on for like 8 years and left when zac ( my son ) was 8 …! Please just be careful and if you feel in any way unsafe leave … you deserve so much more ❤️🩹
Any state of agitation magnesium Citrate is helpful
As is skullcap herb
I've lost family members death and prison. Heartbroken 💔
Thank you I could not even begin to describe the horrors i experienced from my x husband who was a user.
Also, does anyone else hear the background noise? I cant figure out if its music or someone running around in front of Dr B or is he having some renovations or something done at the same time? And no I'm not being or trying to be funny , I'm not hallucinating . The noise is a little frustrating and also I cant figure out what it is! It could just be my $5 Bluetooth headphones : /
😭😭 r u on
I hear it too and wish it wasn't in the background. It is very annoying when trying to focus on the Dr. This is a very serious topic and I'm trying to learn about this. I have a loved one who has been on this for nearly 7 years 😢
It'a music, i can tell. Day 8 off.
Love u shows I learned alot from you I will have one yr clean on July 28 2021
Strong!!
Thanks about definition of agitated delirium ❤️
Is there any link with ingestion method to this ? Because meth can be ingested by swallowing snorting smoking or injecting . Have you noticed a pattern to this type of risk that is also common with ingestion method such as an IV user vs a user who snorts this drug ? Thx for your time . I’m just quite curious
I have had some episodes of amphetamine-racemate psychosis i know snorting gets you there faster than ingesting and iv i have never had a problem with. Probably cuz when u iv it doesnt last as long it has to do with how long ur awake
That background noise seems very unnecessary given the fact that the topic in hand deals with peoples mental health. Almost as if it was done on purpose just to mess with people dealing with these issues .
Do you guys do dual diagnosis and how do I go about getting treatment
Give us a call
My dementia patients have delusions paired with forgetfulness. In rare occasions, their confusion becomes severe agitation and even violence but we don’t call them psychotic.
It’s scary I recently got out of rehab for these hallucinations this was off 4 lines… It was the most powerful stuff I’ve ever done I saw little girls jump roping in my living room floor.. Heard people talking about me and there was absolutely no one there
Thought my wife was out to get me with her new imaginary boyfriend
Had these 3 days after getting rest so it’s does linger
There’s help out there don’t be to proud to reach out. Don’t loose everything for a drug cause you can easily wake up with nothing.
bad dope, my dad got that shi a couple months ago and almost the same hallucinations with the imaginary bf and them plotting to kill him, he would call me screaming for help wanting me to ride with him to go do something different everytime i asked where we were gonna go. he’s fine now but he was tripping for like 2-3 weeks thought ppl were living in his shed and under the house. said he almost shot me through my door one night bc he thought i slept with his wife (step-mom). it was wild asf but i could tell he was losing it months prior but he was shooting whole grams of coke and H same time, not hiding anybody for drug use he just always had to do to much, something to do with his ego maybe
When I had hallucinations from meth, I used to see people in the TV, trying to get out. Like they were trying their best to break out of the screen. Was weird af.
I have a career been on for , well since 2004 and since 2008 the longest I've gone without is one day I use everyday I work 6 days a week I sleep eat chill....I've never wigged out . I've never been violent no mental issues what so ever. I can hold a job relationships hangout I need help to stop.. I've squeezed it to every corner of my life . and I think I would bee a really good study to doctors help me please
I called for an ambulance to pick up my brother! He tried to stab me! Police show up! They took him had to press charges! Now his on a legal dilemma! Court wants him to do six months of rehab and 3 years of probation!!! He doesn’t want to take their deal!
Thanks for your videos.. im almost 20yrs clean from this...I have a friend who suffers from it that I would like to see get help... and this has helped me understand alot more
To add another facet to the struggle, the recovery centers and access to doctors is stacked against you. How is an addict supposed to afford the treatment after care and medical ? You can't. Insurance doesn't feel an addict is worth the amount of money they'd have to pay the individual center and care team. It's absolutely f****** disgusting
Thank you for taking the time to share this information. I am trying with all I have to support my only brother save himself. I love him dearly, he is my best friend and his psychosis and delusional episodes is so terrible to even witness. I can't even image what he is going through. This is truly a living nightmare for my family. I will not loose hope for my big bother. Your video is very helpful.
that was indeed a lot of great and incredible life saving info, i feel the last pointer was one most important about the role with infectious bacteria;(, thank you Dr. B!
very informative thank you
I had a top movement disorder try and tell me my chronic akathisia was “excited catatonia” and other bullshit. If you have raging akathisia/pharmharm, you will look like a lot of things. Personally, I think half of substance abuse disorders are lower level akathisia, anhedonia, and/or other dopamine injuries. Opiate, stimulants, antidepressants, benzodiazepines etc all have associated withdrawal akathisia. That shit can also erupt tardive and last decades.
Thankyou Dr.B!!! This was great!!!!!
Doc have you ever try meth to understand the effect?
I will never forget hearing music play when nothing was playjng...
Interesting. A family member recently heard his guitar playing on it's own. What are your thoughts?
I have heard and seen evidence of vaping causing coughing and breathing problems in people who are heavy smokers. I have heard the explanation that smoking causes dryness in the airway and that introducing vapor which is wet contributes to this reaction. Also, I am one of those people who switched from smoking to vaping. While I continue to vape it is very little. I use one bottle of liquid every 3 to 4 weeks. There are also the other concerns with smoking that are avoided, like causing fires, the awful smell and staining that occurs, and the more prevalent second hand smoke. Just my thoughts. Take care ❤
I just picked my 22 year old niece off the streets, she has been homeless for the past 2 years. I intervened 3 years ago and helped her get an apartment because she was pregnant but she lost her apartment she’s since then had another child which she lost custody of. She has been kidnapped, beaten, and raped. Her parents moved 9 hours away 4 years ago and tried to get her to move with them but she refused. She stayed behind with a boyfriend that constantly beat her had a child with him that relationship finally ended to get with another boyfriend that she had a child with. Now she has tried to get pregnant several different times, after she lost custody of her first two children. She has had several miscarriages because of what she’s done to her body. She thinks it’s normal to have babies even though she is homeless and the men she’s with beat her. She talks about the FBI watching her, she laughs out loud for no reason. I am the closest person to her, when I went to get her she had a broken pair of flip flops, two pairs of shorts and 3 tank tops. She had no undergarments, her wallet had been stolen so no id. She has always had what I thought was bipolar but now she is on meth, we just got the drug test back at the shelter I took her to. She is on day 4 away from the town and people she was getting drugs, but I am the only one that can talk her down when she has fits of rage. They do have counseling at the shelter, but I know that if she gets violent they will call the law. Because of the state she was in when I got her, I contacted a crisis line for the state of GA and started a file on her. They said they would 10-13 her if the shelter had to call. I am starting to feel like she has always had some kind of mental illness. I have a 3 year old and my sister has custody of her babies so we feel helpless. If the shelter/rehab doesn’t help is there any long term hospitalization she can go to. She is going to be killed on the streets, she can’t take care of herself. Her biological father lives on disability now. He always had horrible moods swings and beat my sister. I see the same behaviors in her, they got worse with age, but now that she is using drugs it is so much worse. I don’t know if she had any trauma that did permanent damage to her brain but I’ve wondered about that. I’m doing everything I can to keep her off the streets . Is there any facilities that people that have serious mental illness can live. She is getting worse with age and I feel like we are running out of options. If rehab doesn’t work, I will have her 10-13, but non of the hospitals I found around us keep them long term. Do you know of any in GA or near GA?
TY You are Real
Doc, I thought we came to an understanding about punctuating every sentence with "OK" , It drives my OCD brain crazy, can we restart and come to an agreement that you will cease punctuating every sentence with OK, OK, it will be far easier for me to concentrate on what you are sharing with us to enable us to become better people, OK ? Your friends will thank you, I thank you in advance. Thank you, OK
Ok 👌 😊
@@DrBAddictionRecovery K.O
Ex-addict here with six years clean this November! In my experience, I found that methamphetamine psychosis is almost indistinguishable from the psychosis I experience during the manic phase of my Bipolar 1 disorder. The only differences that I can identify between the two for me is that meth psychosis was more heavy with auditory and visual hallucinations, while my manic psychosis seems to have more delusions and less hallucinations. It also have little to no insight on my state with the manic psychosis. With the meth psychosis, I seemed to have an easier time recognizing that something is wrong for whatever reason. Other than that, they are both identical for me at least.
Nicely put 👏
Night 6 and I'm still dancing smoke, sniffing, feeling so good, loving the empty mind, knowing nothing watching but not seeing listening but not hearing,I'm here but not at all
RESPECT Dr. B
Are you still amped up? Judging by your rambling comment, you were probably tweaked out when you wrote it. Get some sleep, man.
@@ganjaman407 yes probably i don't remember and i sleep and smoke spice every day all day...ganja🤢🤢
@@paranxietyoia587 nothing wrong with that, just do yourself a favor and take it easy once in awhile on the speed. After 3 nights without sleep, you should try to get a couple nights off and always remember to hydrate yourself. Good luck to you.

Hi
Sound totally sucks, and its maybe the worst angle in existence
Thank you!
One thing though, I just gave medical facts if I recall right
@@DrBAddictionRecovery the quality of the sound was poor, and the camera angle as well
