Using Crystal Meth, Vomiting, Fever And Muscle Aches. What Could Be Causing This?

hello my boyfriend and i have been using crystal meth for over 15 years last night we smoked some of a new sac that we got and this morning we are both throwing up for a few hours, unable to keep anything down. I am feeling better, but my boyfriend has a fever and muscle aches. hes not longer throwing up but is in pain and wont stop moving because his stomach hurts. So what could have caused this all and should i be worried about him? Are these even possible signs of an overdose and what can i do to help

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi there ~

I understand your concerns. Vomiting, fever and muscle aches are usually the withdrawal symptoms of using crystal meth for a long time. You are probably physiologically and psychologically dependent on the drug. You boyfriend needs help as soon as possible. I believe that the first place that you need to take your friend is to a ER doctor who will be able to help treat the primary problem. I also help that you ultimately visit with and consult a psychiatrist for all the substance dependence issues that he has.

I hope this helps. Take care of yourself and have a lovely day!
