Hi
I agree that meth abuse can cause movement disorders.....but I did not take any for about 25 years. In fact, I didn't smoke, drink or take any drugs at all. I was put on Prozac after I had been totally clean for at least 12-13 years....and up till then I had no movement problems. Then I took Prozac, the problems suddenly started up and have continued ever since.
I would think that any movement problems would have shown up within the 12-13 years I was clean.....
however....do you think the Prozac might have been a trigger? Perhaps my system had kept the problem under control until Prozac tipped the scale......what do you think?
It would be interesting to find out if a drug that was abused in a person's past could suddenly cause problems so many years later.
How sad....and a wake-up call for people who are abusing drugs now...(if true). It is hard enough getting old when you are in good health.
Thanks for your input. Let me know if you have anymore advice....I need it.
Take care
