Yes, I know a lot of people who never really went back to normal after long term stimulant abuse. And personally, I never went back to normal after abusing downers for a few years. Are you on psychiatric meds for your issues or are you raw dogging it? Also do you smoke weed?

could well be you already had some latent shit that got kicked into gear, hard to tell that from purely drug-induced lingering psychosis

Absofuckimglutely. I've got a shorter fuse thsn I did before and am generally more confrontational and on occasion paranoid.thsn before my time as a speed freak. I smoke a ridiculous amount of weed and that evens it out but your mileage may vary wildly there. It's also not like, ALL the time but a generally more often thing with those kinds of feelings and some are for sure more associated with what I was going through when doing the drugs and the effect doing speed, getting no sleep nanda having bad times otherwise is more likely to be the reason for after effects than the drugs literally making my brain different long term. I'd go probably 15% entirely on the drugs and the rest on just being in addiction mentality and even more so speed addict mentality for a good enough time at the right time to.kinda rewire shit. I still think of money like an addict for example. I think of my meals as hits of nutrients I need to budget out for the grocery store. Some stuff just doesn't leave ya.
