Hi,
If you get back on your thyroid medicines and correct hypothyroidism, your need for a stimulant will diminish and you will find it easier to quit both meth and bath salts. Hypothyroidism slows you down and makes you dull and lethargic, hence the need for a stimulant. First manage this condition and meanwhile keep trying to cut down your drug intake.
Best wishes.
