About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

An overdose of meth gives no immediate signs to users. A meth user may take a lethal dose and not realize that they have just done so until it is too late.
Meth users who take the drug in high-doses or long binges are susceptible to stimulant psychosis. If this happens the psychotic user may feel intensely paranoid, hear voices, and experience bizarre delusions. They may feel that other people are talking about them or following them.
The street drug meth is closely related chemically to amphetamines, but the central nervous system effects of meth are more intense.
When a person takes meth it increases the levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine. This stimulates brain cells, enhancing mood and body movement.
You may have heard that meth causes a person to lose a lot of weight very quickly, which is because it can produce extreme anorexia. Even over a short period of use, meth use can cause drastic changes in how the user looks.
