hi, Im 22 yrs old living in Mumbai,India. I ws under influence of crystal meth for a while. Hd done it a few times. Now im higly regretting. I needed someone to talk to about this so thought of sending u a message. Im facing critical mouth problems. My tongue hurts. Lips are dry and irritating. There s excess production of saliva in my mouth. The worst problem is regarding my lips. There s some kind of an uncomfortable feeling on my lips. i can feel it burning. and even my tongue. My mind is constantly thinking about these thoughts which is hampering my confidence and my social life. Plz I need a solution to this. Plz prescribe me some medicines and cremes that have to be applied on daily basis to reduce this feeling. I cannot live like this.

Report Abuse
Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi there ~

I understand your concerns. I believe the tongue pain, dryness of lips, excessive salivation and burning sensations are due to the neuropathic effects of using crystal meth. Among other issues that you are having in your life I believe the medical issues that could be fatal is the last thing you want. I am hoping that you consult with a psychiatrist who is well versed with the treatment of substance abuse issues so as to get to the point of recovery with avoiding withdrawals, even if it means that you might need to be hospitalized or go into rehab. I wish you well in your quest for the path towards recovery from substance abuse.

I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
