How Long Do Chills Persist Post Intake Of Crystal Meth?

Hi so I was in LA earlier this week visiting friends and I got really drunk and tried crystal meth for the first time (snorted and smoked a couple hits) it was by far the worst comedown and crash I have ever experienced from anything in my life. My mind is more than convinced that i will never indulge in this beastly drug again. It s been over 36 hours since use, I have managed to finally get almost adequate sleep last night (about 6 hours) and I m not craving it all but I am still experiencing insane chills to the point that I have goosebumps all over my body and a burning tingly sensation as if I had taken a ton of niacin. Can I expect these chills to go away anytime soon?

dear friend
It takes roughly 10 hours for half the dose of meth to flush the system. So for a moderate user it could take 2-5 days to escape the body. However for long-term heavy users, it can take up to 10 days to leave the body. Meth detox is the removal of the chemical toxins from the body

since you are just one time user may be some more time will be needed to get rid of all the withdrawal symptoms

i sincerely advice you to avoid using it ever. once addicted can cause very serious and permanent damage to your psyche. don't even contemplate even as a experiment not any drug for that matter
