Meth is used legally in the treatment of add/adhd under the drug name Adderall… which is now rarely prescribed because of the “stigma” attached to the drug, known on the street as “legal meth”.

What Are Signs of Drug Abuse in a Person?

Question by Samantha: What are signs of drug abuse in a person?
My hubby used to use cocaine years before we met. He was clean when I met him. That was 9 years ago. Lately (the past year) I have noticed these things: he is never home. He will always be somewhere but home. He is out all night long. He never seems to have to sleep. He’ll work a 10 hr workday then say he is tired but after going out for a “beer” he is all of a sudden all wound up and stays out all night for days on end! He is moody and flies off the handle at any little thing. He looks funny in the eyes. Almost glazed over at times and he curls his hands up sometimes when he seems to be doped or drunk or whatever? Please help me if you know if this is drinking or drugs again? How can I approch this??
