Shabu?

A friend has come to stay with me.  After going to bed and sleeping for about 3 hours, she started to behave rather strangly.  She made a lot of actions with her hands and arms, mainly in the direction of her face, quite powerfully.  She then urinated in the bed.  She was quite hot - some perspiration on her forehead.  The whites of her eyes were quite red - and her eyes were wide open as I spoke to her.  She was breathing regularly as though she were asleep.  Some twitching occurred - especially in the region of her abdomen.  She was producing a lot of saliva, almost to the point of choking, some coming out of her mouth.  I could NOT wake her.  Eventually she awoke and knew nothing of the incident.  She had a shower and changed clothes.  She is now sleeping normally.

I know nothing about drugs, but I do know that there are a number of people using Shabu (whatever that is) in this area.

Any ideas?

Thank you

Alan

Hi ac23. If you got to the top of this page and hit back to forum. it will take you to the current forum. this is a old thread. Please repost what you had written so you can get the support you so deserve ok. it will be on top and you will see a ask a question button on the left.. type in there and hit.
I'm sorry to say but the excuses he gives you for using is that of a addict.. Hitting you he has no right to do. Do you have family that you can tell this to and stay with till you figure this out ? I'm afraid for you as he crossed a line with physical violence and nothing is stopping him from doing it again. You must protect yourself and your baby.. I'm very sorry you are going through this and please re post so you can get support.. warmly lesa

hi tine26. im ram. a filipina. i have tried shabu i was never dependent on it.
here are the signs if your husband had taken sahbu:
* he is awake in the wee hours of the morning. like insomnia. he cant
sleep.
* he prespires a lot.
* he doesnt eat much. he loses his appetite even with his fav dish.
* he is very alert. speedy. always smiles without any reason.
  energetic. thinks very quickly and a lot of things running in his mind  and  talks a lot like non stop. or say things that are out of this world.
* dry lips.
* most of all, keeps on drinking water as if he is thirsty every 30mins.


hope this helps.
