My husband is very dependent on this drug. He claims he has cut back and seems proud (oddly enough) to only take 48 pills per day. He has taken them for years and has severe side effects when coming down from them. He has been abusive, paranoid, etc. He spends way more than we can afford to support his habit. I think I have convinced him to try quiting. I was wandering how long the withdrawls will last. He will not see a doctor for anything and I'm sure they will say to do it "cold turkey". Also when he is abusive he claims he doesn't remember doing it? Is that true? It is hard to understand what he is going through since I have never been there.
He also drinks a lot.
Any serious answers would be appreciated.

Let me tell you Methamphetamine is not addicting - only in the head. I used it for years and years and never got addicted to it and I had the best. Get over it - you don't have a clue what withdrawals are - tell your hubby to go to bed for a few days and sleep it off and get up off his butt and straighten up. God that makes me mad when people think their addicted to Methamphetamine. Do you know what the detox stay is for someone that "thinks" their strung out on Methamphetamine? 4 days BIG WOW - GROW UP
