Brief Answer:
These symptoms wil resolve on its own

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for writing through HCM.

I have read your query and understood your concerns.

Once your system is cleared from meth, these symptoms will disappear, but you can have withdrawal symptoms from vicodin and percocet because you are addicted to them.

The withdrawal symptoms can be severe body pain, muscle cramps, diarrhea, anxiety symptoms, restlessness, watering from eyes and nose, low mood, insomnia etc.

I understood from your question that you are going to meet a doctor on friday but you need your system to be clean from these drugs by that time. So, vicodin and percocet can be detected in urine for 3 to 4 days after last use. Meth can be detected for 2 to 3 days also. So count the days depending on these facts and go visit a doctor.

So, you finally need to go for detoxification and proper de-addiction treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have further query then I shall be happy to help.

Wish you good health.

Brief Answer:
Meth will take 24 hours to be cleared

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for writing again.

I have told you about the meth only, once your body is cleared off meth then you shall not have these lightening shocks and other symptoms. These have occurred because you have taken meth in addition to percocet and vicodin.

So, report whatever is truth to doctor on friday and keep yourself away from the drugs for 24 hours before admission. I feel there should not be any problem with your treatment. You shall be fine by friday.

Hope I have answered your query. If you do not have further query then close the discussion and rate the answer.
Wish you good health.
