Can You Quit Meth Cold Turkey?

We strongly suggest going to a meth detox to recover most safely and effectively as possible. Many users go through withdrawal only to relapse and have to start again. Having trusted professionals by your side significantly reduces the risk of relapse.

Detoxing Off Meth

Withdrawal Symptoms

When one has been heavily using meth, they may be awake for long periods and will ultimately “crash.” They will become depressed and may sleep for hours or even days.
When they wake, the user will experience additional withdrawal symptoms, the most dangerous being severe depression to the point of suicidal thoughts and acts. The withdrawal symptoms of meth can vary depending on the person’s history with the drugs, age, ingestion method, physical health, concurrent drug use, and tolerance.

Symptoms may include:
Confusion
Fatigue
Nausea
Increated appetite
Loss of motivation
Agitation
Tremor
Insomnia
Excessive sweating
Suicidal thoughts
Paranoia
Anxiety
Stomach ache
Fever
Dehydration
Severe depression
Red,itchy eyes

Withdrawal Timeline

First 48 Hours: The individual will experience the “crash”. There will be a sharp decline in energy and cognitive function. Nausea, abdominal cramping, and sweating will also occur.

Days 3-10: An individual. withdrawal symptoms will peak during this time, though they might experience anxiety, extreme fatigue, and depression.

Days 14-20: Overall, symptoms will last around 2-3 weeks. Towards the end, the physical withdrawal symptoms will subside, though depression could continue.

Withdrawal Medications

Meth can be cleared from the individual’s body quickly, depending on the usage and dosage. With meth, there has not been any medication to be proven to help with the withdrawals, but there are some that help individuals cope with the symptoms. Some of these medications could include:

Anti-depressants: Anti-depressants may be prescribed for mental health disorders due to stimulant use.

Anti-anxiety Meds: Anti-anxiety medications may be used for a short time to subside anxiety symptoms of withdrawal.

Anti-psychotics: Anti-psychotics and short doses of benzodiazepines may be used to help with agitation and irritability.
