This process is known as withdrawal, and it typically follows a <\/span><b>predictable timeline.<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"first-24%e2%80%9348-hours-the-initial-crash\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First 24\u201348 Hours: The Initial Crash<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first stage of meth detox often begins within the first day after your last use. This period is sometimes referred to as the <\/span><b>&#8220;crash&#8221; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">phase because your body is adjusting after the intense stimulation caused by meth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During this early stage, you may experience:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Extreme fatigue or excessive sleeping<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased appetite<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depression or low mood<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Irritability<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anxiety<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strong cravings<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/16128721\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shows<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that withdrawal symptoms often peak within the first 24 hours after stopping meth.
