Methamphetamine, often referred to as meth, is a potent central nervous system stimulant that falls under the broader category of amphetamines. It is well known for its powerful euphoric effects, but carries a very high potential for addiction and abuse. Originally synthesised for medical purposes like treating ADHD and obesity, methamphetamine quickly became infamous as a recreationally abused drug.
Methamphetamine leads to a dramatic increase in energy levels, alertness, and a sense of well-being; however, this comes at an enormous physical toll. Chronic abuse can lead to devastating health consequences, including severe dental damage, skin problems, and potentially irreversible neurological damage that leads to constant paranoia, hallucinations, and overly aggressive behaviour.
Due to its potency, breaking free from methamphetamine addiction without professional medical assistance can be incredibly challenging. Withdrawal symptoms are acute and severe, and post-acute withdrawal symptoms can last for months, leading to an increased risk of relapse.
