What Causes Double Vision After Smoking Methamphetamine?

Hi, I smoked some meth and my vision went strange briefly. It was like everything was flickering or I had triple vision. Ive never experienced this before. My concern is that my city currently has a fentanyl and car-fentanyl crisis. We are urged to use with extreme caution because most street drugs are being laced. Im wondering if this side effect I experienced could have anything to do with it being laced or if this is completely unrelated... if it is unrelated why did this happen? Just a quick background. Im a 23 year old female who has been for the most part in recovery and abstinent from all drugs for the past 4 years with the exception of very brief relapses (like less then 3 days at a time) here and there, I have a tendency to relapse 2-5 times a year and when I do slip its not for long so I have a very low tolerance.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should visit deaddiction center as early as possible.
You need intensive deaddiction treatment.
Mephentermine is sympathetic stimulant. It can cause over stimulation of retinal nerves and cause double vision.
So better not to take mephentermine again.
You need counseling, behavioral therapy and medications to support deaddiction and rehabilitation.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
