Pins And Needles Feeling After Injecting Methamphetamines. Cause?
A few of my friends often experience what they describe as a pins & needles feeling after injecting methamphetamines. All have heard some reason from someone or somewhere along the way as what causes this & why. I myself have experienced similar feeling while in my shooting addiction but never really sought the true reason behind it. Can you shed some light or impart some knowledge on this topic & potentially what it s cause is due to??

Hi Md39199,
Inject able Methamphetamine, pins & needle sensation
If you are using Intramuscular then needle prick over nerve fibers nearby may cause tingling sensation.
otherwise it can be even due to chemical irritation to the local nerve fibers.
Anyway since you discussed let me give some insight.
Remember Sharing Needles will lead to infections (transmissible like Hepatitis -B....)
Use of Methamphetamine will gradually lead you to dependence state.
kindly motivate yourself & also motivate your friends to Quit methamphetamine use.
It is quite possible that with adequate counselling and with appropriate drug management you will be free from methamphetamine use.
All the best for your healthier life
