Methamphetamine, a synthetic drug known as 'crystal meth', 'ice' or 'Tina', is even more addictive than crack cocaine or heroin.\n\nIn high doses, methamphetamine causes irritability, insomnia, confusion, hallucinations, anxiety, paranoia and increased aggression. In even higher doses, hypothermia and convulsions can cause death.\n\nWhen the body is stimulated by methamphetamine, the drug can cause irreversible damage. The increased heart rate and blood pressure damage blood vessels in the brain, which can cause strokes, or irregular heart beat, which can cause cardiovascular collapse and death. By vastly increasing the release of dopamine, methamphetamine appears to damage brain cells, eventually reducing the amount of dopamine available to the brain, causing symptoms similar to Parkinson's disease and severe depression, or both.

What you tested positive for is a drug called psudoephedrine.  It's one of the many household items that is used to manufacture illegal methamphetimines and also commonly used in OTC medications for colds.

Those are anti-HIV medications aren't they?\n\nI'm not sure about the drug interactions - but I know that Meth makes HIV replicate at a higher rate than when you're not using meth.  Essentially, you're getting more infectious and making yourself sicker everytime you use meth.\n\nMeth also affects the same neurotransmitters in the brain that HIV does.  Many meth users with AIDS progress to dementia much sooner than non-meth using AIDS patients.\n\nIf you're not concerned about your own health, that's your own perrogitive.  I really hope you're protecting your partners though by wearing a condom, or making them wear one.

Meth is a much, much stronger drug than cocaine. They both excite the nervous system. Meth is just more powerful

if someone is coked out, it means they're either a) currently on cocaine, or b) a habitual cocaine user who is showing signs of stress and drug abuse.  (for example, someone who's pale, too thin, dark circles under eyes, red nose, ratty hair, deep scratch marks on arms, whatever)

Some symptoms that you can keep an eye out for is, being figety cant just sit still, always touching the face, the way his hands look (cramped up) not like relaxed the way other peoples hands are, no appetite, pacing and mumbling. Someone on meth does not have to have all of these signs but some. You say this family member sleeps everynight and is hard to wake up, not sure if it could be meth, but marijuana makes you sleep and its a hard sleep. If you think he or she is on drugs have a heart to heart talk with them and tell them that you are worried and care about them and that you both can get through this together and not depend on drugs, tell him or her that you will help him or her out and be there for them, anytime or anywhere. Drugs are not the answer its the problem. Good luck.

Facts About Methamphetamine\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nMethamphetamine is a central nervous system stimulant with a high potential abuse and dependence. A synthetic drug, methamphetamine is closely related chemically to amphetamine, but produces greater effects on the central nervous system. The drug's euphoric effects are similar to but longer lasting than those of cocaine. \n\nMethamphetamine takes the form of a white, odorless, and bitter-tasting crystalline powder, readily soluble in water or alcohol. Street methamphetamine is referred to by many names including "meth," "speed," "zip," "go-fast," "cristy," "chalk," and "crank." Pure methamphetamine hydrochloride, the smokable form of the drug, is called "L.A." or - because of its clear, chunky crystals- "ice" "crystal," "glass," or "quartz." \n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nMethods and Effects of Use\nMethamphetamine can be smoked, injected intravenously, snorted, or ingested orally. The drug alters mood in different ways, depending on how it is taken. Immediately after smoking or intravenous injection, the user experiences an intense "rush" or "flash" that lasts only a few minutes and is described as extremely pleasurable. Smoking or injecting produces effects fastest, within 5 to 10 seconds. Snorting or ingesting orally produces euphoria - a high but not an intense rush. Snorting produces effects within 3 to 5 minutes, and ingesting orally produces effects within 15 to 20 minutes.\nEven small amounts of methamphetamine can produce euphoria, enhanced wakefulness, increased physical activity, decreased appetite, and increased respiration. Other central nervous system effects include athetosis (writhing, jerky, or flailing movements), irritability, insomnia, confusion, tremors, anxiety, aggression, hyperthermia, and convulsions. Hyperthermia and convulsions sometimes can result in death. \n\nCardiovascular side effects include chest pain and hypertension and sometimes can result in cardiovascular collapse and death. In addition, methamphetamine causes increased heart rate and blood pressure and sometimes can cause irreversible damage to blood vessels in the brain, producing strokes. Methamphetamine abuse during pregnancy may result in prenatal complications, increased rates of premature delivery, and altered neonatal behavioral patterns.\n\nPsychological symptoms of prolonged methamphetamine abuse can resemble those of schizophrenia and are characterized by paranoia, hallucinations, repetitive behavior patterns, and formication (delusions of parasites or insects on the skin). Methamphetamine-induced paranoia can result in homicidal or suicidal thoughts. Although no characteristic physical signs of withdrawal are associated with methamphetamine abuse, users report drug craving, depressed mood, sleepiness, and hunger.\n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nExtent of Use\nNIDA's 1996 Monitoring the Future study, which assessed the extent of drug use among 8th-, 10th-, and 12th-graders across the country, reports that:\n\nWhen high school seniors were asked if they had used crystal methamphetamine at least once in their lifetimes, 4.4 percent said they had-an increase from 2.7 percent in 1990;\n\nIn that same year, when high school seniors were asked if they had used crystal methamphetamine in the 12 months prior to the survey, 2.8 percent said they had-an increase from 1.3 percent in 1990.\n\nThe Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's Drug Abuse Warning Network reports that from 1991 to 1994, the number of methamphetamine-related visits to hospital emergency departments more than tripled, from 4,887 to 17,397.\n\n\n------------------------
