Posted on Fri, 20 Jun 2014
Question: Hello there, i have swallowed a little amount of meth yesterday night by a small peace of tissue paper and off course i havent slept since yesterday, the only real problem im facing right now is the stomach ache. How can i make it go away ? I tried drinking glass of pure soda but did not help. Thank you. Please note that it is my 1st time to try it so i dont think that im in a critical situation. All i need to know is just what is wrong with my stomach so in order ill know what meds or herbs i should have. Thanks again

Dear XXXX

I assume you referred to Methamphetamine when you said Meth.
Methamphetamine is a sympathomimetic drug. It is known to cause gastritis as side effect of the drug. This could explain the pain in abdomen.

Taking acid suppressing agent like proton pump inhibitor ( Pantoprozole) which could be available over the counter will provide the much needed relief. Also Would suggest you to take Liquid antacid along with it.

Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Take Care

Unfortunatley a devil friend of mine told me that there is this pill thats called "Rosche". It will calm me down and eventually let me sleep. I looked it over the internet and all i understood thats its gonna put me to sleep, so i took half of it . Ahh ! Im never gonna touch this drug again, i feel so bad.. Anyway thank you doctor for your time and for sure will get back to you. Wish you all the best
