I know this girl who "says" she quit doing meth. She writes 11:11 everyday she also makes like 20 posts a day. Is this a symptom of Psychosis or is she still on meth?
You're not supposed to let the person go having the psychosis but if they refuse any form of help there isn't much you can do and living with them is too hard on yourself. I have someone going through it and I'm at my wits end. Nobody can help unless the person is willing to do something about it.
I've had to call police and have them do a welfare check. If they see that they are in psychosis they can take them for a mental health evaluation and be admitted and put on a 72 hour hold. They can determine at that time how long to hold them till their stable. At that time their mind is more clear and can make better decisions on rehab or detox. That's my experience
It puts the users into denial of not being an addict. Therefore needs exogenous intervention by someone to make addict realise changes in behaviour/attitude.
You have to court order them to go into treatment
I'm sorry to hear about that......I used this drug for a solid year 2 and it put me into permanent psychosis it never went away............I had social anxiety disorder before I started using it and it has ruined my brain this drug is horrible..........the feeling of being watched by people is sooooo real feeling even tho iv been clean for 8 years now .......and still have spouts of issues and I'm in mental health treatment..
Meth is so much stronger than when Michelle was around...
Now that I have actually watched the episode, I am doubly impressed that you allowed Nicole to share her story and be an example of a "shining light of recovery." It is so important that we hear from addicts themselves, as well as the from the professionals helping them. Nicole could be anyone's mother, sister or daughter, and she is a beacon of hope for addicts and their families alike. Thank you for giving her a voice.
Thankyou. We appreciate your support 🙏
Yes this ♥️
It may seem like I’m splitting hairs, but please use “person suffering with addiction” versus “addict”. It might seem trivial, but the term “addict” is accusatory and promotes emotional responses like hopelessness, blame, guilt, and shame, which can increases risk of experiencing a relapse. But I do agree, a person with past substance abuse disorder that is successfully managing that disorder brings much hope to many who feel hopeless. I hope you take no offense to my observation and comment, as we all have used the short-hand term. Something of similar nature that I recently found out is when speaking of suicide. It is best to say “His death was caused by suicide” versus “He committed suicide”. I think language is just so deeply important when we discuss mental health and related issues, since language, along with culture, and society define our perception of the world and of ourselves and that has a direct impact on seeking and complying with treatment objectives.
God damn her explaining how she was kicked out, house hopping, cop calls and emergency room visits in her 20s is literally describing my life right now, thanks meth
I went through it with a loved one and now she is doing great! It's so hard but so worth it once they decide they've had enough and do something about it. Hang in there.
Was addicted to both meth and heroin. I remember the transition that happened from the use of meth specifically and how that combination with the lack of sleep is what causes the mind to experience this whole other reality where hostility is prime and you feel as if you’re the center of pain and or suffering. Thank you for your information on this subject. It’s really needed.
Thanks for the like. Dr.
I plan on making a channel and would love to further our communications. Not a profession but have dedicated my life to botany, ethnobotany, mycology, psychology, as well as the alchemical, chemistry, symbolic, metaphysical aspect to it all as one whole.
It's fucking horrible. Was on meth for like a year and a half, I still deal with lingering paranoia and anxiety.
@jaypeezyfasheezy6907 consider yourself smart and blessed. 22 years of PROUD polydrug abuse as literally my lifes mission was honestly very fun but just as hellish. I pray you will fully recover and if u are a praying person ask i may find your freedom. Cause ive quit the meth and heroin/fent but im scripped benzos and still drink. Weed is the only drug i consider basically harmless but for me i always want alcohol first. Im beyond blessed to be alive but i dont feel it at all. Im an emotional shell and feel as life is just a very annoying act now and i dont know what real is. I hope u fully recover and even if i dont i just wanna tell others it always gets worse if u give up.
@pauljeanlll7436 I feel you man I used to take em till they didnt work, I was real dumb. I get that shell feeling totally. I like to think it will get better with time but I dont know. All the best to ya man, try and stay off what you can!
Believe me as someone supporting an meth addict the best I can
Picking psychosis is not hard
It’s awful to watch
The spouse has this on meth accusing me of doing a video chat with him during our separation with a man he claims was standing right beside me. Called me a cheater and now we are getting divorced he got violent and abusive walked away from our daughters and destroyed our marriage and family.
He never loved me so after 22 yrs it's a relief. He got with a woman who does meth with him.
I can't thank you enough for being the VOICE for all of us
Thank you for all of your hard work and empathy
i was seeing stuff that wasn't there . scary stuff . so glad im clean now for over a year
For me it was all auditory hallucinations.
Great video. Love you Nicole. And thanks Dr B. Great content.
This truly helped me for my friend. Thank you!
These videos are extremely helpful thank-you
I have an adult child in his 30s. He has basically been on some form of drug since he was 13. 2 years ago he went into psychosis, Lost his 3 year old daughter and wife (divorce) along with his great job. At the time I thought he was having a mental break but soon discovered he was on IV Meth. He is basically homeless now, Lives in Arkansas and Im in Texas. He is always calling for money etc. I am not going to be his enabler. He says you have to die from something and he refuses treatment. During this 2 years I did get him into rehab once and 10 days later he walked out. I am at the end of my rope. I love him so much but dont know what to do. He has had run ins with the law and they too refuse to help.
He's a lost cause like me. I'm 35 and a meth addict. I won't be changing any time soon. I've made my peace that I'm gonna die with this drug in my system. I don't want help, I'll refuse it. You give me money I'll rip it right in your face. I got myself into this mess and i don't plan on dragging more people with me. Just leave me alone and let me die in my sleep with a needle hanging out of my arm.
@@pullingthestrings5233 don't give up, believe in yourself slowly tapering. 1 day at a time! WE CAN DO THIS
@@pullingthestrings5233 nobody is a lost cause. If you truly want to recover I recommend heartfelt prayer daily. This will help tremendously.
My son is 25 and he's the same way, it started when he was 13. It's hell for us as parents.
don't give up.
Thanks again for another information/personal experiences Nicole and ty Dr. B. they differ per patient’s metabolites metabolism and tolerance dextroamp no difference IMO from the street/contaminants also ppl like me used kits for everything!
Extreme pressure and guilt bring on psychosis but constantly tell yourself the voices are you and not auditable to others, do not respond or interact with them.
Eventually you lose so many brain cells that you lose the ability to induce because of the damaged brain area
To stop feeling sorry for yourself in love others that's the cure promise
THANK YOUUU
My fiance was prescribed Adderall and countless other medications as a child all throughout her adolescence into her adulthood. Medications long term play a bigger roll in schizophrenia than I think people realize. Meth absolutely contributes. My late grandmother had schizophrenia. My sister and fiance also have it. My fiance suffers from extreme schizophrenia and she also used meth by needle, but honestly I think medications taken as a young girl into her adulthood okay a major roll on the brain more than we understand. Also traumatic experiences that come with life. I'd love to write a book about it one day or speak to someone about this illness. I've been around it my entire life and will continue to.
My x girlfriend of 12 years has narcolepsy got addicted to adder-all secretly was also snorting meth I can also see signs of schizophrenia
Why anyone would use a substance w drain cleaner and a battery acid in it is truly insane
meth sucks but drain cleaner is a base so it neutralizes battery acid. its not really "in" the meth they are used for the reaction. sodium hydroxide (drain cleaner) and HCL acid/sulfuric acid is actually used in almost every medication production process........im not trying to be a smartass im just sayin FYI
Because it’s delicious
Its not in them... they r used to synthesize it.
Thats almost like saying you dont eat salt because it has chlorine in it.
Addiction is cunning and believe me I used to say the same shit. Don’t judge tho bc addicts need all the support they can get- it started for me with having a couple beers with friends in high school. Instant start to addiction, that progressed from substance to substance. 4 treatments. Sober living. Homeless at 18. 5 years later meth took over my life. It’s insanity
Have you tried it? I find it amazing that people eat turkey bacon and vegan fish sticks. Different strokes I guess.
Both of my two brothers suffer from this. It’s heartbreaking.
Your videos are awesome I wish the state psychiatric hospital,jail,my program I'm in knew as much as you cause they don't. I'm diagnosed with unspecified schizophrenia but I have no symptoms and take no meds maybe you can give some advice
I have been dating someone who has been sober for 5 years from meth. However I'm convinced that he suffers from long term psychosis or schizophrenia. He definitely has paranoid hallucinations. When we're on the phone he's convinced that he hears sounds like me having sex with another man or other really disgusting behavior. He then decides not to talk to me and it's very hurtful. Been having a really hard time dealing with with it because I truly do love him and want to help him. 😞💔
I'm sorry you're going through this my ex wife is on meth and she talks to herself and now she's has convinced her father that I poisoned her that's why she talks to herself!! SMH
They are always convinced your conspiring against them they really believe the craziest weirdest things and it's impossible to convince them otherwise smh.
My boyfriend thought the same of me ended up treating me like trash run 🏃♀️
Get out. You deserve better. My son is a meth addict.
Omg same here
He became obsessed that I was having sex in parking lot of grocery store. Picked up a hammer and pounded his head with it then told police I did it.
Had to get protective order. Psychotic behavior and delusions are dangerous
Stay away
Only gets worse
I would really like a recommendation for me in NYC or Atlanta, Ga for Pycho-Social treatment. I recently had the worst out of 3 mental breaks over a 3yr timespan
I almost got psychosis sitting through this video.
Dr. B ! I honor your expertise in the field of drug abuse. Lately I have been experiencing these episodes where I've become 'other worldly' amounts of tired, Feeling as if I do whenever I'd run out of meth. Though I'd be standing here smoking it & smoking it & still feeling this extreme fatigue ... & these episodes will typically last about 3 -4 days where I'm seriously - no joke just sleeping nearly the whole time & can't keep myself awake. Do you recall perhaps other patients that have reported mutual symptoms? Do you know of what I'm describing because I sure don't.. Is it even meth use-related? Is there ever been any man who's turned out just fine as result of using meth? Or have I got just zero chance & my goose is as good as cooked?
If youre cooked youre already in the flames, and there can only be forgiveness and eternal forgiveness once we leave this realm. Just keep faith in God no matter how crazy it all seems at times and no matter how much you think he hates you, he doesnt, you are hurting yourself and you know it, so uh, its kinda like freedom for crazy people.
I can’t say thank you enough I have subscribed to your site and hope I can learn and understand the plight of my son‘s addiction. Because I am at a loss. The psychosis is getting worse and worse, and in Canada everybody has rights you cannot put anybody in a mental institute without their consent. He is going to die and he’s getting more dangerous by the day in psychosis.!!
I’ve experience psychosis. Not from meth. I had stopped using fentanyl and the withdrawals were so bad I couldn’t sleep for 3 days. On the 3rd night i started hallucinating. The next night it got stronger. By the 5th night I would lose control of my body and go unconscious but people around me told me I was walking around and banging on walls and doing weird stuff. I wasn’t on fent, I was trying to come off it. But the lack of sleep made me go crazy. It was scary because I was sober during it and I remember the vivid things/people/visions I saw
Have u stopped hallucinating? I'm going through it now.
I've been clean for two months and I still feel like im being monitored.
I know someone who thought the feds was after them but in reality it wasnt nothing there..its sad seeing someone suffer.this person thought the lights were cameras...thought there door was going to be broke in by the feds then they thought I was one of. Them ...like no I'm here to help you if anything.this person did go to rehab;) the best thing to do in a case like this is say it's going to be okay
I never touched anything bad before in my life...so it took me a few weeks to figure out what's really going on
My Grandmother, Father, and Brother all abused amphetamines, and they were still messed up long after they stopped. They seemed to substitute adrenaline for their drug. They were constantly scanning for reasons to be excited, angry or afraid. It was scarring to grow up with them. Do you find much of this in your practice.
How would you get some one to be clinically diagnosed without offending them?
My daughter is 5 months sober from the meth and alcohol. She still hears voices, it’s a man and woman that call her down all day long, makes it hard for her to sleep or even do simple tasks during the day. She talks about Suicide because she can’t take the voices anymore. She is on a antipsychotic, and anti depressants. She is convinced it has nothing to do with her meth addiction and it’s spiritual.
Does this happen to anyone else?
I had paranoia after getting sober . It still happens during anxiety attacks but they pass quicker and quicker over time . ive used meth off and on since a teen so I know its possible to recover . Possibly her medication now is causing some of the problems. if she is suicidal please take her to a clinic to at least get checked on
She needs Xanax I’m being very serious I know that sounds a bit extreme, but my friend deals with schizophrenia and hears voices in the moment his takes Xanax alprazolam All his voice is go away.
Do you have time to save your daughter? Do anything you have to do to get some benzodiazepines
I’d rather see my daughter on a monitored dose of a benzodiazepine then C, her struggle with psychosis schizophrenia
Oh yeah and take her off the stupid ass antipsychotics they made me fucking crazy
I did it for a couple of days with h and I seen black figures outside of my windows with mask on and little army men coming out of cracks in my closets and even thought this fence company which wasn't real trying to get into my house that shit is no joke and is completely dangerous if I haven't done acid and mushrooms I would have not made it honestly scary stuff
Benzos usually did the trick they also get the appetite going and eating stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system. High dose vitamine c clears the meth/amph out of the system quicker.
Man I've been dealing with meth for years now, it's really started in like 2015. I lost my mom to cancer, and went through a divorce at the same time, that's when I turned to meth. I use to use tough but I've gotten better, I have relapsed 3 times in over a year. Why can't I fully shake this ?
Bro I'm right there with you.
Turn to Jesus 🙏🏼
My prayers go out to you
Im clean a year now
What happens if when in psychosis they don’t get the help they need?
Hello my brother experiencing those symptoms.. at first he hallucinate he is seeing things he is talking alone.. then he become bit okay.. now he have just 1 symtoms he is hearing voices... I want him to bring in a clinic for checkup but we have financial problem😓 he is abuser he used subtance thats why he got that psychosis.. he is actually normal before and jolly..
Is there any herbal or over the counter medicine that you can recomend that we can buy without doctor precription?
I’m curious…
You mentioned SILENT SUFFERERS.
*What do you think keeps people from asking for help besides the obvious (they believe they’ll be facing law enforcement)?
*Based on the above question…., do you think a higher level of intelligence gets in the way of the ability to admit to either using and/or hallucinating?
*It seems futile to try reasoning with someone experiencing psychosis but if one attempted, how would they?
Please respond here if you’re able..
Ty
My son is currently using meth regularly. Should he receive Medication if he is still using daily . Can he mix Risperdone with Meth or is that dangerous?
I have a roommate that refuses to recognize she has a serious meth habit and the people she has the same thing. Everytime I bring up the subject she will get very angry and abusive, previously she had a serious heroin habit and I believe she started using it as a substitute. An extensive criminal record.
I'm at my whit's end.
Help! Please!
Sorry to hear. What can we do
This is harsh, but it’s time for you to move. You cannot let your roommate ruin your life.
@@DrBAddictionRecovery I know, it's a matter of time before she gets evicted, she quit her job as a " Drug counselor" ;of all things. Over the winter and has been unable to hold on to steady employment since. Along with being behind on the rent, 2months behind on a car payment and God knows what else.
Should I just wait it out until she either gets evicted or winds up back in prison, or be proactive and start making arrangements to move out now.
I live in a beautiful apartment in the country and hate to be forced out by a chronic drug abuser?
Any advice from you end Will be considered carefully.
Thank you for your time and patience.
Rasputin.
@@edwardjtruskyjr1921 get authorities involved or the family. Give her an intervention. Some meth users are thiefs and can explode and be dangerous. Please put your safety first as you approach her and try and get her safe
my daughter bern on this drug 6 yrs.its horrid the uo down back forth.dont knos if shes experiecing this
That girl Kicks ass!
Can it hurt you
The problem is convincing the mentally ill person to go to the doctor lol and my hypothesis is that for some disorders such as Bipolar the mania itself is intoxicating and combined with methamphetamine smh just bad
Tanya Brazil: Yes, they can be too stubbornly chauvinistically self-confident and worked up. I think it is partly the ego, partly the stress hormones and the whole system activated to just manage and survive with all the disruption. I think one has to make careful preparations as to intervention, build oneself up and knowing what one is doing, what he may say/do, have some answers ready AND not be afraid to use some calm authority. They can't judge in that state, don't understand their own state.
i find it important to respect if they prefer non-drug treatment though, if they have said so before the psychosis and you know him well. Most primary psychoses can be helped without drugs, but drugging has become automatic, and without checking for nutritional imbalances, allergies etc,. Maybe not with drug abuse, at least not to begin with. Although there are calming minerals.
Can you recover from a 1 time use overdose? Can the damage be extensive if it was a really large dose including alcohol? Someone I know recently overdosed and is 5 months in with severe mental health problems and paresthesias.
My brother is the Sam's, one time use. Now permanent psychosis.
I do it sometimes meth it can make you not want to sleep even after 14 hours it seems the main reason for it I'd say sleep and no to far less meth is the answer
I feel like giving someone who is getting clean from speed and was having psychotic breaks weekly, should not be given benzos. Were the 2000s not enough evidence that benzos do not fix problems in addiction?
Totally disagree. I’ve been addicted to a lot of things but pills weren’t one of them. Some recovering addicts/alcoholics are very capable of taking medications as prescribed. Benzos taken as prescribed are very helpful and don’t come with terrible side effects such as restless leg syndrome.
i went to the institute of living in hartford CT (its part of hartford hospital psych ward) for bath salts pyschosis about 10 years ago. i was on 100mg of methadone a day from a clinic and also 2mg klonopin from a doctor. the damn place cold turkey me from everything for 3 weeks inpatient and gave me haldol. i wanted to sue this place........i mean wtf...... how can they do this to someone?
That's how bad the lack of knowledge even with over 90% of the medical community knowing the dangers of withdraw. What they did to you is no different than if you would have been in jail. That's pure torcher expecly the klonapin that has horrible withdraws deadly. And methadone withdraw omg. What did you do after you got out of the phych ward.
@@leomduffy794 i went back to using H for a few weeks and eventually got on suboxone. thankfully you cant get bath salts online anymore and they never had meth on the streets in my area
Whenever I'd start to get psychosis I'd be able to notice it and snap out of it. It feels 100% real but I'd ask myself how likely of an event it is and I'd realize I was being a tweaker haha. If you ask yourself objectively how likely it Is that the FBI has a case on you you'll get your answer
You must not have done enough meth. It’s not that easy what so ever …
You can’t “snap out of” hearing audible voices with no basis in reality
God damned spot on. Lol that is a solid tactic, rare to hear about someone using it on themselves. Lol I am wanted in twenty countries...
Sorry but you can ALWAYS shut down BELIEF in the voices and STOP TAKING ACTIONS based on them. Always good advice from someone who has had meth psychosis since 19, but i learned how to live with it and adapt. @@Mrclish5000
and periodic stopping drugs entirely is advisable. NEVER EVER BE VIOLENT only in defense. i dont care HOW psychotic i was I wouldnt harm someone else, unless they were first violent with me.
But still here people
There is a psychosis when some quits using meth that is increases in frequency, duration, and intensity.
There is meth induced Schizophrenia, i dont care what anyone says. I see it everyday as a crisis worker.
Sometimes, some of us just dont come down.
I actually get pain from it
How do you deal with the part where you have zero motivation to do anything
Good question..and everything is gray and black..was sober 8 months ..crazy depression..gray and black world...but I also had a nutty wife which didn't help..maybe this time my new girl will not drive me nutts while I'm beating this habit
Behavioral activation - do the things you used to do and over time your dopamine will go back to normal. But withdrawaling from activity and socializing will inhibit recovery
@@DPapDpapAre you speaking from experience or just guessing?
My best friend is dealing with psychosis at the moment. I dont know how to help her. She thinks she is fine & allgood but she is not her normal self. Its so sad seeing her that way. She is homeless & lost her kids 😞 i dont know how to tell her shes not her self & does need help cos everyone is against her right now & i dont wanna be another one against her. But its hard to tell her she needs help.
Ty for sharing and truly sad
I just recently learned that the psychosis my son has is due to his meth addiction. He is very delusional and believes that I have molested my daughters. No matter how much I tell him that is not true he keeps believing it. He believes that my son in law has molested his children. He gets to the point where he calls CPS or police. I sometimes hear him laughing to himself or talking to himself. When I ask him who he is talking to he says no one.
I want to sue the VA for continuously ignore my families cries for help for my brother who is in active use. They freaking know and yet continue to prescribe him drugs he abuses!!! God I wish there was real help out there for families of addicts who refuse help!
Hope your VERY RICH!
@@razony sadly no but we will not stop trying. He just got out of hospital ...again and ran right to his supplier. 😞 Hes 65 years old. How can he not be tired of this life is beyond me. Still we can never stop trying to find a way to get him help. I'm recovering addict of 18 years and I'm aware you have to want it but what about when you are having drug induced physcosus and living an alternate reality. Like seeing people coming out of walls trees how can this person reasonably or be competent to make good choices about his health? This is gross neglect to prescribe saboxene and not pee test him. They know hes on meth because he tested for it in the hospital. Then what does the VA dr do? He turns around writes a fresh script for that upon seroquill and a bunch of other crap! Its insane!! Sorry for venting
@@wakingrose1956 My girl friend has a family member who is a Meth user and is diagnosed with schizophrenia and I'm thinking of Hypnotherapy to treat him.drugs only treat the symptoms. VA sucks and is very little help with mental issues. Good luck.
@@razony you're right. Prayers for you and yours. So true! Funny that recovery became much easier when I sought therapy to address issues causing the things like pain I was running from. When I did living sober became much easier and finally found the peace and fulfillment drugs never gave me
@@wakingrose1956 Thanks my friend. Love to you all!
I have been smoking like less then half a gram for 5 or 6 months. How much trouble am I in. If I stop now what kind of withdrawal am I looking at?
For the first 3-5 days all you will do is sleep and eat. You'll be moody and easily aggravated and have 0 patience. Then you will become so incredibly bored around days 5-7. It's not hell at all. Just remember it's all mental you DON'T NEED IT... you only want it.
Stop now I was you three years ago I wish I had please trust me take this advice freind it's not even worth it
The first week is going to be the toughest. I would rather taper off than quit cold turkey. I speak from experience. Bump it down to like .2 than every other day. Then once a week, them once a month. Going cold turkey is a recipe for disaster.
I used for 3 -4 years. Never had any real psychosis
@@j.b.8379 that's because you're less prone to schizophrenia. I had psychosis which are the symptoms for schizophrenia later in life. I have a meeting with my .45
I suffer frometh induced psychosis. I ve been clean five months. I'm afraid I still hear things. I take latuda and risperidone. I used to take haloperidol nothing is working.
c o It is working, it may just not be all or what you really need. Start learning natural health and nutrition therapy, get on a healthy diet with Kelp. Can you afford to go to a good Nutrition Therapist or a good alternative Dr? TCM can help treat addicition and psychical issues naturally. It can take time. And there is LOTS one can do oneself.
How is your daily life, habits, food/drink , movement exactly?
Nutritional Balancing program is most deep and efficient, but takes time, effort, not for everybody.
Is that okay to used risperidone for psychosis? I think that medicine is for epilepsy.
@@Cay10038 ive been prescribed risperidone for my meth induced psychosis. I think it helped some for me
So just treat with different drugs...geniuses...ill tell u how to treat it... stop feeling sorry for self and keep pushing threw.. if ur playing victem people will feed off that .. and it will make it worse on u . You will start to get paranoid and thinking things that aren't going on and it builds from there.. the only way i have found it works is u dont be a victim and love you and others. Thats works sober or high .. and for alot of other things in life prolly everything... always be kind.. love you all
I haven't touched meth in over maybe about 6 months now. But prior to my days of doing it to now...I have never had paranoid delusions brought on mostly by stress. I start thinking people can hear my thoughts and what's worse Is that the damn voices give me a reason! Apparently it's my vocal cords!? Funny right
I get meth induced psychosis
People hear me think. Like a radio. Fuckin drives me crazy. People actually answer me.. I used again and again to make sure I wasnt tripping. Nope, People hear me because I thought vike stuff. And I can see their reaction
This is happening to me too. It’s my family members, my bf, his family, friends. Idk what to do. I hope you’re okay
“Address it immediately.” “It’s needs to be addressed quickly.” How? The answer was petty vague. Guess I was expecting an answer as to what to do at the moment for a ppl who sometimes wander the neighborhood while experiencing the psychosis. No one is going to hand the person an anti psychotic nor a benzo unless the person suffering it is already on that medication. Guess we should get inside, lock the door, call 9/11 & hope the person doesn’t blame us for trying to get him or her help & hope it works.
Not the best choice of graphics for this episode or special or whatever it is. I'm sure it was inadvertent, but I urge you to maybe reflect on whether portraying the meth addict as pictured is responsible. What I see when I look at the image you chose is evil and demonic looking... In my opinion it further stigmatizes the addict who needs help.. getting the public to understand that addicts are real regular people who are sick and need help. Just food for thought, my intention is not to be critical.
I do not disagree. I do not choose these and I believe they meant no harm as there is a science they use for views. I just saw the ad and your comment. I will pass it on and thank you.
@@DrBAddictionRecovery „I do not choose these (...) there is a science they use for views“ - so you openly admit (which is kind of cool) that you use these images only to get more views. I’m not debating about moral standpoints, but AmyRogers is right and you - as a DOCTOR - should remove this picture!!
Hi Amy, this is Dr. B's digital marketing manager. I have changed the image and sincerely apologize.
Thank you for being so receptive and responsive to my concern. My respect for the doctors and the team on this channel just rose immeasurably.
Maybe the editor is on meth
Remember michelles story was from the 90s era nowdays there is very very very strong meth.......its horrid
I've got to say:
When a loved one who's an adult is in a psychosis, WE CAN NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP BC, despite our want to help, the adults have rights
You're so right,been dealing with a grandson now nearly 2 months ,he refuses to stay on hospital to get help,its awful,3 days at a time with NO sleep! God help these ppl dealing with this😰
@@kimberlysisk6410 ya 3 days isn't good...but my fiance and I would go hard for up to 3 weeks straight and towards the end we were fortunate if we happened to be physically exhausted enough to crash for a couple of hours..hopefully at least 4 hours...then stay up for another week. So what it boils down to is a hard-core user could easily crash/sleep maybe 2 to 3 days in a month. I could offer up plenty of facts, figures, and explanations but considering my last statement I don't see where they would even be needed. That degree of sleep deprivation along wreaks havoc on unimaginable levels on our bodies. If someone ever finds themselves unfortunate enough to know addiction then I would only hope they would be fortunate enough to come to the realization that it's going to be a lifelong struggle! Addiction in and of itself is an entity all it's own and one of which we should remain forever vigilant.
@@BurningBlood0143 some people find sobriety and a 40 hour week worse than meth psychosis. If i didnt have klonopin id be doing more street crap, but i want away from it.
Benzodiazepines
GIVE ME MORE. AND XANAX.
What about them?
You don't really say what happens during a psychotic state. There are a ton of various side effects of meth, some are similar to others. Whereas others have a completely different type of side effects. I have a friend in California who I met and we got to talking about our different side effects. Alot of them were very similar but she had other different ones as I did too. Your interpretation is minimal and not solid. 😮
Different video
@@DrBAddictionRecovery what's it called please?
My cousin gets very hyper religious, smoking out one side of the mouth, and preaching out the other.
Also she see's bugs manifesting out of nothing and swears they're real. Hyper paranoid, her phone is hacked by her sister and the boyfriend.
It drives me crazy, I simply don't have the patients anymore. If I suggest this video or others about dope psychosis, she'll get fighting mad. She also takes a strip a day, coupled with a zanax at night. Short of hog tieing her, I'm at a loss for what to do
Learning how to use it's a journey hi price but no more sicoses at all , this drog or you use it dayly or not takes about 2 years Intel you can sleep evrefay no more sicoses again after that you can not be in and out on this drog otherwise you don't sleep well and start all the nightmare 😴 have a lot of experience on this matter myself and learn that we'd people use it over 45 years and have a totally normal life including very good jobs hi level of responsibility . Impressive ,
AKA tweaking balls
Get to the point.
Respectfully speaking I love your work doctor but I’m concerned about how close you are to Nicole with no masks and in an indoor setting. I hope the camera man also wears a mask. Unless both of you were tested that day or very recently and had no covid. As a medical professional with many patients you have to be extra cautious not to spread or catch covid.
We both had the vaccine. Thankyou for your concern.
It would seem that covid is causing psychosis in the general public.
Be cautious but don't live in fear.
Lollll come on son. Really?! Don’t worry about what other people (especially whom you don’t personally know) do in their own lives in regards to social distancing. If it was airborne HIV, and Nicole didn’t know there was an airborne HIV outbreak (lol), then fine... your concern / judgement might be warranted. Don’t worry about adults from the internet making their own choices regarding Brovid. 😉
I have a son-in-law who has been in meth phycosis for about two months now. He's obsessed with parasites and bugs coming out of his body. He had a stay of 5 days in the hospital from infection. He was spraying bug spray(Raid), bleach any and everything he could find. He even went outside naked to let the heat from the sun "to make the bugs come out so they would die"!! Our family is waiting on a bed to open for rehab. (Court Ordered) He has gotten to the point of aggressive behavior. Do you have any answers? Very concerned
@@nancybazen1806 In any case, get him off coffee and black /green tea, chocolate, stimulants irritation his adrenal glands that are then made to produce stress hormones instead of rest. no nicotine = bad toxins. Stop sugar drinks, sweets, cakes and increase real health food, like cooked whole gluten-free grains (Rolled Oats, pre-soaked: Millet, Brown rice, Buck-wheat, Quinoa.
As much cooked vegetables as possible for breakfast, lunch and dinner, from the cabbage family and roots carrots. Healthy fats only,
Real organic meats and sardines, not sausage and such ready -made with artificial stuffs in,
Quit pork,
Omega 3 cod liver oil every day,
E
B-complex, especially Niacin B3
Mg, Ca, Zn and Se,
Inositol
bitter foods for his Liver/ Gall, like Dandelion, bitter lettuce,
Regular , early habits when it comes to eating, sleeping.
Outdoor walks in the sunlight every day, min. 30 mins.
Some light, natural practical work or tasks helping him to be in reality and have positive contact with his body and functions, feeling useful.
HAving somewhere to go socially without demands
Minimizing use of WiFi, Cell phone,TV, Computer(games),especially at night before bedtime. Disturbs the brain, interferes with sleep, makes brain/body/soul worked up, while passivising. Good luck.
Tell him about DAA, AA where addicts get help and a new better life.
i seriously decieved myself into thinking i could do meth recreationally, only on the weekends. boy was i stupid for even trying. after the 3rd week, the damage to my brain was already pretty extensive. so i dropped it, and fortunately my brain is repairing itself. but i seriously thought i had permenently fucked myself, even after just so short a use.
You easily could have even after that shirt if use. We are all wired different.
