Hi,
How are you? Methamphetamine affects the brain and can create feelings of pleasure, increase energy and elevate mood.

How bad it could get depends on a variety of factors including the diagnosis, medical history, the amount of meth used as well as overall health. Talk to your doctor about this for proper evaluation. Take care and do keep us posted.
