Welcome to Healthcare Magic
Methamphetamine usage and trying to quit is associated with Depression, which can explain your symptoms. Avoid trying to stop using meth by yourself. You need to enroll into a proper recognised deaddiction program which will prevent withdrawal effects and other serious issues associated with it. Better to do it as soon as possible and also consult a Psychiatrist to help you cope with these problems. Eat healthy food, avoid junk food, smoking, drinking alcohol. Get your blood pressure checked as well as high pressure is seen in meth users.
