About Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Facts

A recent study (January 2010) in the American Journal of Psychiatry took a look at patients who were suffering long-term Meth psychosis and found no relief with antipsychotic medication but responded rapidly to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT or Shock Treatment).
The National Survey on Drug Use and Health in 2008 showed that the number of past-month meth users age 12 and older decreased by over half between 2006 and 2008. The same survey found that current (past-month) users were numbered at 731,000 in 2006, 529,000 in 2007, and 314,000 in 2008.
The first state to regulate the sales of pseudoephedrine products in 2004 was Oklahoma.
When a meth user initially takes the drug they feel very energetic and stimulated because their brain is working at its maximum efficiency. Meth actually makes the users feel better than ever and provides increased energy, increased sexuality, and a decreased need for food and sleep. However, their brain begins to combat the effects of the drug. It becomes tired and depleted of all the things that it needs to feel normal.
In South Dakota, 26% of the adult women in the SD Dept. of Corrections between July 2007 and July 2008 were addicted to meth.
