Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to HealthCareMagic.com I am Dr.Bruno Mascarenhas, and I am happy to answer your queries. I have ready your question with care and understand your concerns. Let me try to help you.

You have listed the Following Complaints
1. Feet have been swollen for over a month
2. Leg cramps
3. Cramps in feet
4. Tingle
5. Can't feel touch unless you press hard
6. Painful tingle
7. Dry and cracking
8. Skins hard and built up on Back of one toe

All these are classical features of Overdose of CNS Stimulants

However, the Good News is that Most of these these changes appear to be transient and reversible and they could dissiapate after basic homeostatic parameters are restored to baseline. It usually takes 90 to 120 days for the effects of the drug to totally disappear from the body

Hence, My Suggestion will be for you to Stop CNS Stimulants and Take Vitamin B Complex and Vitamin C Supplementation for 12 weeks

Hope you found the answer helpful.

If you need any clarification / have doubts / have additional questions / have follow up questions, then please do not hesitate in asking again. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Best Wishes for Speedy Recovery
