My boyfriend (35) has been an alcoholic for years. Smokes cigarettes, Drinks every day, avg lately has been 6 beers, and anywhere bet 1/2 to a full fifth of Jagermeister nightly. Smokes pot. For last @ 6 months has been taking methadone at 40 to 60mg ?? daily.
Now for a few weeks has a new drug. Crystal meth.
Tonight he told me that he's been having strong chest pains while he is at work. Lasts a few minutes then goes away. Chest pain is not during strenuous activity.
I know methadone is a depressant, alcohol, weed, depressants, then add crystal meth, as an upper NOT GOOD for the heart. He's also been wheezing, and coughing up stuff. Says his lungs feel like they're full of fluids.
I have told him I'm afraid this stuff is going to kill him, but with chest pains already......Could this crystal meth/methadone combination be the cause? or coinsidence?
He says that Meth isn't going to be a new addiction, he's going to take a month or so off pretty soon.
Have you ever heard of alanon?
