Suggest Treatment For Fibromyalgia With The Habit Of Meth Usage

My sister has been on meth for the past few months and came to me for help. She has fibermyalgia and im 99% sure she also has bipolar disorder. Im afraid the meth made both much worse. She said she has already detoxed but i know people in her position are not the most honest. What should i do?

Hi,

You can get her a home drug testing kit to confirm whether she is still taking meth or not. You are right in saying that people in her condition may not be truthful about their drug use. You have also correctly noticed that meth worsens psychiatric illnesses. If she is still on meth, then she may need professional help.

Best wishes.
