What drugs were you doing?
How much were you doing?
Have you stayed clean since Dec. 2011?

I did alot of meth before I got clean and sober in 1995. I had Post Acute Meth Induced Withdrawal Syndrome. They didn't know much about it at the time. It kicked in two weeks after I got sober. It lasted over a year. They diagnosed me with BP1 and I took tegretol, effexor, and halidol. the halidol was only for a year until I got over the psycosis. I finally convinced my pdoc that I was not BP1 and that is was from the drugs and he took me off of tegretol. I have never had a manic episode before or since.

Meth totally mimics BP and the withdrawal can a long time. It can take years to get brain chemistry back to normal. Some people never recover.
