Long Term Effects of Methamphetamine

[mh15243]

My question is about the long term effects of using methamphetamines. I had a problem with methamphetamines for about 3 years in my late teen years, where I snorted or smoked the drug. That was over 10 years ago and I haven't used since. I am a very healthy person now. I am wondering if I should be worried about the long term effects of my drug abuse, even 10 years later. Is there anything I can do to know if permanent damage was done, or if I should be seeking treatment for it? I'm not sure if my regular doctor would even know how to approach this question. Is there a certain type of medical professional who could best answer this question? Thank you.

Unless you have a certain problem with something, I would say you got lucky. However, if you "get" a problem of some kind in the future, you may attribute it to the dug use, but somehow I doubt that after ten years-You would know by now.... =)

Coming from one recovering addict to another this also is something that I fear. I have done so much reading regarding this and haven't found no real answers either.  But I keep reading!!! Try to google WHAT ARE THE LONG TERM AFFECTS OF METH USE and see what comes up? Maybe that will help?
Good luck to you and congrats on stayin sober!!!
