About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

Meth withdrawal may include: irritability, depression, fearfulness, loss of energy, and extreme craving for the drug.
Parents who are concerned that their child is abusing meth should keep an eye out for extremely dilated pupils, dry or bleeding nose and lips, chronic nasal or sinus problems and bad breath.
Like amphetamines, meth use causes increased activity, decreased appetite, and a general sense of well-being in the user. The effects of the drug can last 6 to 8 hours.
Studies show that meth effects can last up to six months after just one use and the drug can do greater damage to a person's physical, behavioral and thinking functions than many other illicit drugs or alcohol.
The rush or high a meth user experiences is due to the release of very high levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine into the parts of their brain that controls feelings of pleasure.
