Hi,

You know how long a high lasts after administration of methamphetamine? Not a full 24 hrs. The amount in the breast milk peaks about 4 hrs after use--anal gives a higher level than oral, but less than IV. The amount in the breast milk declines by half every 8 hrs after. So, half by 12 hr, 1/4 by 20 hr, 1/8 by 28 and by 36, 1/16th of the peak is getting rather low, 48hr is 1 to 5% of the peak.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
