Methamphetamine

What is methamphetamine?

Methamphetamine is a powerful, highly addictive stimulant that affects the central nervous system. Crystal methamphetamine is a form of the drug that looks like glass fragments or shiny, bluish-white rocks. It is chemically similar to amphetamine, a drug used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy, a sleep disorder.

Short-Term Effects

Taking even small amounts of methamphetamine can result in many of the same health effects as those of other stimulants, such as cocaine or amphetamines. These include:

• increased wakefulness and physical activity

• decreased appetite

• faster breathing

• rapid and/or irregular heartbeat

• increased blood pressure and body temperature

Long-term methamphetamine use has many other negative consequences, including:

• extreme weight loss

• addiction

• severe dental problems

• intense itching, leading to skin sores from scratching

• anxiety

• changes in brain structure and function

• confusion

• memory loss

• sleeping problems

• violent behavior

• paranoia—extreme and unreasonable distrust of others

• hallucinations—sensations and images that seem real though they aren't
