Is tweaking an involuntary movement? Does it happen in early use of meth? Is it a symptom of extensive meth use?

Apparently, tweaking is involuntary and is caused by certain drug taking; not just meth. it happens whenever the drug is taken. some people make use of their tweaking, eg:- cleaning, typing, playing an instrument etc. try reading this book 'A piece of cake' by Cupcake Brown. if anyone knows about the effects of drugs its her. drugs affect the person taking them and all the people around that love and care about that person. there is help for people that may feel they're trapped or pressured into taking drugs and want to get clean, but that person has to want it for themselves.

Tweaking - Tweaking occurs at the end of the binge when nothing the abuser does will take away the feeling of emptiness and dysphoria, including taking more methamphetamine. Tweaking is very uncomfortable, and the abuser often takes a depressant to ease the bad feelings. The most popular depressant is alcohol, with heroin a close second. Tweaking is the most dangerous stage of the methamphetamine abuse cycle to law enforcement officers and other individuals near the abuser. If the abuser is using alcohol to ease the discomfort, the threat to law enforcement officers intensifies. During this stage, law enforcement officers must clearly identify the underlying dangers of the situation and avoid the assumption that the tweaker is just a cocky drunk.
