Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi there ~

I understand your concerns. It is not uncommon to have neuropathic complaints after the acute use of drugs, such as tingling and numbness in the legs that you are having. I believe speed can also cause you to have many other symptoms that can last for as long as 2-4 days after last use. I strongly recommend you not continue to use this speed and consult a psychiatrist if you are having withdrawals from the substance if you have been taking it for a long period of time.

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