Hello,

Well, the disorientation in the Methamphetamine drug user goes away when the drug does unless there is a stroke.

This is easily diagnosed with a head scan. Metabolic problems from diabetes or kidney stones, infection, or kidney failure all causes more disorientation than meth and these would continue.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman
