Methamphetamine

The Methamphetamine topic includes research on the prevention, treatment, and outcomes of methamphetamine use, addiction, and overdose.

Methamphetamine is a synthetic drug, a stimulant that carries a high risk of addiction for users. It has a short-term effect when used, causing an increase in energy and some feelings of euphoria. The drug also has the potential to cause serious harm, as it can induce paranoia, anxiety, rapid or irregular heartbeat, stroke, or even death. Addiction or long-term use can lead to insomnia, memory loss, and other health issues.
