A person can develop addiction to many kinds of substances. Methamphetamine is the second most widely abused drug worldwide. Long-term methamphetamine usage may cause social, psychological, and physical problems. Long-term effects (such as weight loss, memory loss, tremors, convulsion, psychosis, paranoia, hallucinations, Parkinson's-like symptoms, and cardiovascular collapse) and short-term effects (such as euphoria, dilated pupils, insomnia, reduced appetite, increased blood pressure ) are listed and, brain damage and mental problems due to methamphetamine abuse are briefly mentioned in this text. The severity of withdrawal symptoms varies from person to person. Unfortunately, there is no exact cure for methamphetamine abuse. This is not a systematic review.
