Hello,
welcome to Healthcare Magic.

Meth contain Methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV). Meth is a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant.

The acute side effects include tachycardia, hypertension, vasoconstriction, and sweating. High blood pressure and anxiety can lead to headache.

Users have reported bouts of psychosis induced by sleep deprivation and becoming addicted after using higher doses or using at more frequent dosing intervals.

It is never late to stop its use. Following broad steps are followed in management under physician supervision:
-Maintain adequate hydration and drink plenty of water.
-Stop Crystal meth use now.
-Assessment of BP, Pulse and respiration. Investigation like serum electrolytes, liver/kidney function test and other test according to examination.
-Treatment of concurrent complication and withdrawal.

Wish you good health and all the best.

Regards,
