How Can Insomnia After Snorting Crystal Methamphetamine Be Treated?

On February 12th I went to a house party where a guy said he had cocaine. So I did about 6-7 nice sized lines of it. Turns out it was crystal meth and ever since then I have only slept for 2 hours. I feel tired and useless and i want and need to sleep but cant. What do i do. I am pretty highly anxious about not sleeping. Help would be great.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Methamphetamine causes insomnia as it is a stimulant. Do not try it again as it raises blood pressure and can cause coma, convulsions etc. It takes time to drain from your body. Consult in emergency department as lack of sleep will deteriorate your health.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
