Understanding Meth and Its Effects

Methamphetamine, commonly known as meth, is a powerful stimulant that affects the central nervous system. It is known for its euphoric effects, which contribute to its high potential for abuse and addiction. Long-term use can lead to severe health complications, including cognitive impairment, extreme weight loss, dental issues, and increased risk of heart failure.

Common Signs of Methamphetamine Addiction:

• Cravings: Intense urges to use meth.

• Loss of Control: Inability to stop or reduce use despite negative consequences.

• Increased Tolerance: Needing higher doses to achieve the same effects.

• Withdrawal Symptoms: Fatigue, depression, anxiety, and severe mood swings when not using.

• Neglecting Responsibilities: Ignoring work, school, or family obligations.

• Continued Use Despite Consequences: Persistent use despite legal trouble, declining health, or social problems.
