Brief Answer:
Adverse effects of meth use

Detailed Answer:
Hello

My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.

I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. These are adverse effects of using meth. They alter the dopaminergic receptors of the body. Initially they give pleasure/euphoria but later adverse effects appear. Stopping meth should be a gradual process. If you will abruptly then it will produce withdrawl effects. Best step is to start reducing the dose gradually by reducing the quantity. Then stop it when dose remains to minimal.


Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
