Hi there,
Bath salts are considered a variant of cocaine, methamphetamine, or ecstasy, which are all stimulants. Sleeplessness and suppressed appetite are common side effects of bath salts, as well as a long list of other dangerous and potentially fatal side effects, such as increased heart rate, high blood pressure, chest pain, erratic behavior, depression, psychosis, suicidal thoughts and self-injurious behavior.
I would advise to stop taking bath salts or any other illicit drugs in the future, and if you find it hard, it's best to seek help through one of the many drug abuse helplines.
All the best
