Signs of use Long periods of time without eating or sleeping Agitated behavior, excited speech, irritability, nervousness, and increased physical activity Wide pupils and increased pulse rate sores on the face/ arms and loss of teeth or blackened colored teeth In small doses, methamphetamine can increase wakefulness and physical activity and decrease appetite. In high doses, it can increase body temperature to dangerous-and possibly deadly-levels, as well as cause seizures. Because methamphetamine increases heart rate and blood pressure, it can permanently damage blood vessels in the brain, causing a stroke. People who abuse methamphetamine may become anxious, confused, and violent. They may develop serious psychological effects, such as paranoia, seeing or hearing things that are not present (hallucinations), and believing things that are not true (delusions). |
