Methamphetamine is a drug which is used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, obesity and narcolepsy.1 When ingested, it causes the brain to release norehinephrine, dopamine and serotonin causing a euphoric "high" which has led to the drug being abused and used for recreational purposes.1 Common side effects associated with methamphetamine use include dry mouth, nausea, diarrhea, headache and dizziness.2
Fast Facts:
- Recommended for short term (no longer than 6 weeks) use.1
