What Causes Severe Dizziness When On Crystal Meth Injections?
I have been Injecting Crystal meth for almost 2 years heavily. My arms are constantly bruised and my veins are all hard, like cords under my skin. Its been about 16-18 hours since my last shot, and while i dont feel like im experiencing withdrawal, last night i started to get extremely dizzy, and the frequency and severity is increasing. I m concerned about blood blockage to or from my brain due to a clot or something. Should i go to the ER now or try to treat at home with a shot to see if i am in fact just detoxing or some baby aspirin?

Hello,
Toxicity of crystal meth injections are causing such symptoms. Since you have badly bruised veins that have gone rigid & you are extremely dizzy, this is not the time to sit back at home. Neglecting yourself will result in worsening of the symptoms. You need medical support.
Visit ER, at the earliest & get physically examined, evaluated so that you can get intravenous support & support for all the other required medications so that your vitals regain normalcy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
