What Causes Addiction To Smoking Crystal Methamphetamine?

I m 26 years old and I was strung out on meth for a few days and I knows it s a bad habit. I typically use once a week but I do so much to the point I literally lose like 4 days out of my week when this happens. I ll do it like every two weeks. I decided I m gonna stop but anyway my stomach has been making weird noises since I last used. What could it be? I would greatly appreciate it if you could please answer my question.

Hello,

Ok, there is not a specific link between stimulants and the stomach. Often stimulants can stimulate gut motility. And if someone gets hungry after stimulants, this will affect the gut.

Crystal methamphetamine stimulates pleasure centers perhaps more than literally anything.

But, the areas in the brain associated ith feeling good to get overstimulated and don't do much after weeks of steady methamphetamine.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
