What Are The Side Effects Of Methamphetamine?
Question: I smoked meth for the first time in over a year and a half on tues, wed, and thurs (all separate occasions, not continuous) and my eyes are now really hurting. And I mean the actual eyeballs them selves, as well as a random headache that is randomly placed and comes and goes. I'm used to ocular migraines bc I have neck problems, but this is different. I have been staring at screens quite a bit lately though. Also, my heart races whenever I exert myself--as little as taking the stairs. But this seems to be getting better. I think this most recent time, yesterday, it was cut with MSM.
