[QUOTE="DarkwingPsyduck, post: 695937, member: 20267"] Among opiate addicts, we all experience the exact same symptoms, just in differing degrees. I have a friend that started using with me. His addiction was nearly identical to mine. Same amount, same length of time, etc. We lived together, and sold together to support our habits. The only difference is the strength of symptoms we would experience. For me, I had the freezing sweats and restless legs the worse, which made sleep impossible. He had the nausea and weakness, but was able to sleep somewhat. Then again, I have a MUCH faster metabolism than he does, and I would start feeling symptoms 10-12 hours before he would. There is no symptom that any other opiate addict doesn't also experience to some degree. Getting off meth is almost the exact opposite of getting off opiates. My twin sister is a meth addict, so I have seen it as well. She would spend the first 3-4 weeks sleeping and eating non stop. Waking only to eat, then going right back to sleep. All day, all night. I used to envy it, as I was going upwards of 3-4 days without a moment of sleep, and unable to keep solids down at all. You can pretty much just kind of sleep and eat a meth detox off. [/QUOTE]
