Short time users and permanent anxiety following meth use.

[wildbeast]

While swim can't say for sure it seems that his first panic attacks came on the heels of short term Crank use some 23 years ago.

Swim was a heavy drinker then so maybe that partially explains the anxiety too.

Anyway Swim used to trade construction materials to an old Italian guy for Crank. However Swim was too ignorant back then to even know that it was an upper. Swim thought it was Cocaine instead and that "Dino" had just misprounounced the term...

Swim did a lot of crank over one weekend or two and then quit soon afterwards. Quit drinking not long after that too. Had HUGE panic attacks while under influence of crank AND his drinking seemed to cause more panic attacks soon afterwards even though he's quit the Crank.

Someone once told me something about the "Mylon Sheath" or something like that. And that Meth use wears away the insulation on the nerve cells.

Wonder if this is why Swim is more prone to panic attacks than other people?

Seems a shame if this is true. Because Swim only tried the crank a few times and was long ago...
