Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.

The most common withdrawal effects from meth are intense cravings for methamphetamines, sleeping more than usual, shaking and tremor, fever, chills, and profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting. These can be managed with over the counter medications including Tylenol for fever, Loperamide for diarrhea, and Pepto-Bismol for nausea and vomiting. This is about the best you can do.
