There is no "easy way out"... quitting is the only solution.

There really is no withdrawl medicine for meth. About the best thing that someone going through w/drawls can do is have someone strong, understanding and loving close by their side. While going through withdrawls, they will do some mean things, say some mean things and in general, be really nasty. They will need someone that will see past all of that and know the real reason they are acting that way. No matter how much the person begs, or pleads or tries to bargain, the other person needs to be stronger. Their body is going to go through some rough changes, nausea, vomitting, diarrhea, hot, cold, burning, feeling of dying, hallucinations, etc. \
The person also needs to change environments once the habit is kicked. There will always be an urge to try it just one more time, for old times sake. I know this may all sound cliche but "Be stronger than the drug."
I wish the person luck. Sorry I couldn't help w/ the magic pill to make it all better.

currently there are no medications to help with the withdrawals, however the National Institutes of Health is doing clinical trials with a few drugs like wellbutrin,. Bupropion, Abilify, and others.
the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) has recently established the Methamphetamine Clinical Trials Group (MCTG), a network designed to provide new clinical research teams and sites in geographic areas where meth use is a major public health problem. This network funded by NIDA, consists of sites in San Diego and Costa Mesa, California, Honolulu, Hawaii, Des Moines, Iowa and Kansas City, Missouri and a coordinating center at UCLA. Studies of promising pharmacotherapies will be moved into these sites for assessment in double-blind, placebo-controlled trials.
You can also contact your doctor who may have some ideas on how to help alleviate the withdrawal symptoms. Good Luck

There are currently no medical interventions that have shown great promise. Some Doctors have prescribed Campral, which is used to depress alcohol cravings and have reported mild success but not on a wide scale. I am a Drug and Alcohol Counselor and a recovering person. The best I can recommend is have the individual go to an in patient treatment and follow up with a good 12 step program for support.

Ativan and Amoxapine-get these from the doctor, or the herb St. John's Wort(two or three doses a day). When trying to get over severe depression brought on by drugs-like tranquilizers or recreational dope-do push-ups the straight leg kind,like about 20 once or twice a day. Getting blood through your neck like that ,helps.Also a complete multi-vitamin.

Only a doctor or rehab center can give them medicine to help with this.
