I'm 37,female, 160 lbs, and 5'10. i am addicted to bath salt which i used as an alternative to meth. I want to quit but can't seem to find a treatment facilty/ detox center that is decent. I need help, my blood pressure has been eratic and abnormal after administering the drug.abnormal. I ve been a daily user of meth for last 2 and half years while trying to quit has been most difficult challenge, i turned to bath salt so i could function bc it was legal. Without help i cannot function normally without it. plus, i am not on my thyroid meds.(hypothyroidism).

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.
