Is is healthy to take Ibuprofen after taking meth and consumed glasses of milk as my protein & calcium beverage? Does it stops the high on meth?

Oh, it certainly causes increased heart rate, even to the point of being fatal. The stimulation typically causes fatigue after. Hyperventilation typically also causes fatigue and also numbness in the tips of extremities. Milk would help somewhat with the tingling perhaps as it is a decrease in available calcium due to changes in blood acidity. Breathing in a PAPER bag a FEW times also is helpful. Ibuprofen has a high rate of stomach irritation which is more with stimulants, but it IS over the counter so it is mostly safe. But these are potentially dangerous signs and a strong reason NOT to use meth which is highly addictive. Oh, the body aches are due to tension but this can be to the extent that teeth break (quite common; it is a meth stereotype and why the baby pacifiers are a thing with meth use).
