Question by T Georrson: Months after i stopped abusing painkillers i still feel really mentally different.?
I began abusing drugs about a year and a half ago. I eventually became depedent on vicodin and other opiates. In the time period i was abusing them once or multiple times a day and thats when i started feeling different. I felt kind of numb to everything and i felt uncapable of having emotions. Things looked weird when i looked around, and i was really light sensitive. In a weird way, it kind of felt like i was always high. Not like an opiate.. But everything seemed different in a hard way to explain. Thankfully i found a way out and have been mostly clean for about 4 months now but i still feel a little bit like i did. ALOT less, but still present. Its possible that its all in my head, like i just feel like things are different because im worried about it. Is this symptomatic of anything or is this common with painkiller abuse? I just really dont know whats happening and would appreciate any thoughts. Thanks.    Read more...

Another noticeable affect is that Meth abuse can burn-a-hole in your sinuses and separate cartlidge in your nose that separates the nostrils. More pictures of Meth users show how the facial muscles droop the eyelids, lips and jaw frame. It was noted by the Police Department that the drooping appears similar to patients who receive radiation treatments of the face to fight cancer. What was really strange was several families could not immediately recognize members of their families. Avoid Meth at all costs!
