Injected Methamphetamines, Getting Feeling Of Ecstacy. Lumps Built Up At Injection Site. Why It Is Happening?

After injecting Methamphetamines over the weekend I had a rush like I had a smaller shot about 10 hours later that became 3 hours of feeling like I had taken ecstacy. After this I applied heat packs to the places I used to inject seeing that lumps had built up near the sites. Releasing what was left caught under my skin. Thought that had it taken care of now it is the next day and I still have eaves of this feeling over me. What could explain this?

Hi,

The effects of methamphetamines usually last for around 24 hours and the metabolites of the drug take some time to get excreted. Only about 50% of the drug is excreted in 12 hours. This period varies in different people as the metabolic rates vary. This is the reason why you still feel different even after a day. There is no need to worry, but I would still like to tell you that amphetamines are highly addictive drugs and harm all the systems of the body. Please be very cautious in future.

Best wishes.
