Over the past month, I've developed sunken eyes. No bags, the area under my eyes has just shrunk and got black...it's odd. When I go out, I've started to take speed and X, where before my eyes went dark I would just pill.

Now I'm off drugs and looking for help on getting my eyes back to normal. Any ideas?

Normally when I get grey under-eye circles (I don't get bags either. Ok, so I've never tried drugs either, but let's play with this and pretend it's like the same thing) sleep, water and good eating habits make them go away :)

It might take a while for your skin to get rid of all the dark colour - it will have to re-adjust internally and get used to a life independant of drugs. But it will happen eventually, and the healthier you are the faster it will happen. :)

Two possible causes for sunken eyes:

Perhaps the e's caused dehydration?
(were you drinking enough water whilst on them?)
Make sure your water intake is normal.

Speed is linked to insomnia and sleep deprevation.
Lack of sleep -> sunken eyes.
Make sure you have healthy sleeping patterns.

Just sounds like you kinda overdid it a bit. Like glitterfairy said, lose the drugs and be healthy and they should go away with time.

sunken eyes?

PRAIRIE OYSTERS!
(add one egg to a tablespoon of worstershire sause and chug.)

otherwise, use a good quality under-eye cream and get plenty of rest.

A natropath I went to a couple of days ago said Almond Oil and Coconut cream would do it...Good old home remedies :eek:

I suppose tea bagging would have a similar effect?

what's the rationale behind the prairie oysters thing?
Does that actually work?

Hrm probably something to do with the idea of a "protein shot"... that, or a placebo effect. Not sure.
