Withdrawal Symptoms

Withdrawal is extremely uncomfortable and in some cases life threatening. The methamphetamine effects associated with withdrawal may include:

• Drug cravings
• Nausea
• Irritability
• Depression
• Loss of energy
• Insomnia
• Sweats
• Hyperventilation
• Convulsions
• Irregular heart beat

Because of the severity of this withdrawal, many people choose to enter detox or methamphetamine addiction treatment programs to assist them in coping with these symptoms. In addition to withdrawal, crystal methamphetamine affects many other areas of a person’s life. People addicted to amphetamine tend to spend most of their finances on obtaining the drug, have difficulty maintaining employment due to their loss of concentration, motivation and depression and experience deterioration in their personal relationships as their paranoia, and need for isolation increases.
