Twitching during sleep = meth using?
My wife has started doing this.
She twitches in her sleep, and sometimes seems to be fighting in
her sleep. I can't really describe it-- like a scare reflex or
something.
She says she hasn't been using anymore, but I found the stuff
mixed in with her makeup last night.
I haven't said anything yet, because I'm wanting to get an idea
of how much she's been using first.
Do these twitches & apparent night terrors (or whatever they
are) indicate that she's been using heavily? Or does it make a
difference? Just feeling things out before I confront her with
anything. |

There you go, grounds to confront.
The twitching- honestly my husband had it with use and had it
for quite some time after quitting.
That may be a debatable point.
Finding the baggie with the sh!t- no debate. It wouldn't be there
unless he brought it in and he would be the only one using.
What do you know?
Any ideas in mind for what you will say or do when you do
confront?
Have you thought it through? Have you read up on it, do you know
much about meth?
Are you ready? |

You have the answer that you need right in front of you. Sorry
but if you are not using, why do you have it? And just for the
record, it is (insert who ever's name here) does not count.
My husband sometimes still twitches in his sleep and he is
clean. But, when he was coming down after a binge then he would
have what seemed to be like the fighting, scared thing. |

Welcome to the board! I used meth
for 25 years, and I have been clean for almost 2 years.

The twitching could be caused by many
things. It could be something that she started doing when she
uses meth. You are doing the best thing that you can do. Read
all of the posts here for a few days before you confront her.
Ask any questions that you have. Learn about the drug that you
are up against. Some others here like Sfj can provide you with
some really good articles to read. And, others here will be able
to provide you with things that you need to know. Stick around. |

Re: Twitching during sleep = meth using?
The muscle twitching during sleep can continue for
quite awhile after quitting meth.
Months, maybe even longer.
But if she's using, you have much bigger issues to deal with. |

Re: Twitching during sleep = meth using?
Has meth really been around for 25years? How come I thought it
was the new cocaine? |

Re: Twitching during sleep = meth using?
Amphetamines are over a hundred years old.
Meth, probably about 80 or 85 years. |

Because it is just recently come out of the closet and made
headlines.
Yes, it has been around that long.
It just wasn't as talked about or as easily found as it is now. |

Twitching.... when my husband was coming down he
twitched really heavy...if he was clean for a while the
twitching subsided but didn't really go away completely... but
it was enough to let me sleep.
And when he was coming down he would act like he was scared in
his sleep and make noises. Not all the time, but enough that I
noticed. |

Re: Twitching during sleep = meth using?
i used to twitch, kick violently, jerk, and talk
really dirty in my sleep...usually after a binge... the dirty
talk sounded more like something out of the Exorcist...
now i tap my foot once in a while but thats about it... |

Re: Twitching during sleep = meth using?
I've never used meth but when I am really stressed
out, I twitch as well. I will jerk and not even realize it.
Sometimes it wakes me up and often it doesnt.

Re: Twitching during sleep = meth using?
first off it really doesnt matter how much use
there is going on...its the fact you found it so there is some
use going on....
as far as the twitching i have been clean a lil over 1 year and
i still twitch in my sleep actually mine has gotten worse
especially with my legs....i wake my husband up sometimes with
it he says its like a seizure in my leg and it is well thats
what it feels like anyway...my legs hurt the whole nine
yards...i cant sleep sometimes cuz they hurt so bad and are
spazing dunno know if it is from the drug use but i do know it
never happened until i started using and then now it has really
gotten worse... any how as the others said it can happen and
continue for a bit after u stop useing...me myself id like to
know when itll stop and if mine will ever stop??
any how good luck and god bless |

Re: Twitching during sleep = meth using?
My boyfriend twitched, grinded his teeth and he
would move around like he was smiling or weird stuff. Only when
he was using.

Re: Twitching during sleep = meth using?
Sfj is right. It has been around for over 100 years
and I have done them for 1/4 of those years. How thankful I am
to be alive. I guess that I should add that prior to doing meth
for 25 years, I used black beauties, mini whites, etc. for a
couple of years. |
