Suggest Treatment For Side Effects Causes After Injecting Meth

I recently injected meth and have a severe reaction, my eyes twitched rapidly, rapid breathing, sweaty, and flaky looking skin on legs, groin, arms, face and scalp, also cold feet and fingers, I can also see my veins with a dark color. This meth could possibly been cooked wrong, shake and bake method. The weird looking skin has improved in the past 24 hours, but should I get to a Dr?

Actually, those sound like typical effects from use of a stimulant. While the meth or any contaminants are likely out of the system in a day, there are a huge number of issues that using meth would benefit from medical attention: possible infection, possible heart damage, and of course addiction issues.
