My son's father did it, but he wasn't always high. When he was off it, he was normal. When he was at the high, he was excessively everything, (it very closely resembles extreme mania) when he was coming down is when he was hardest.

Meth never would have crossed my mind when thinking about my friend. I could be completely wrong, though, and he very easily could have taken it before he arrived at the movie. Do people who take meth remember obscure things that are completely accurate, but irrelevant? For example, four days later my friend could not remember that he stood up in the theater and made a speech, but he could remember an exact quote from the movie and that it was a goof (he then went on to explain why it was a goof). It's interesting that everyone in this thread thinks it's meth because the few people I talked to about this situation (including the therapist) all thought it was mania. I'm sorry for the loss of your son's father. I'm hoping that if my friend is actually doing meth that he gets the help he needs before it's too late.
