GET THE FACTS
METHAMPHETAMINE AFFECTS YOUR BRAIN. Meth causes changes in the brain circuits that control reward, stress, decision-making, and impulse control, making it more and more difficult to stop using even when it is having negative effects on your life and health.
Frequent use also can lead to tolerance and withdrawal, so you need more of the drug just to feel normal. Additional effects of using meth can include anxiety and depression, chronic fatigue, paranoid or delusional thinking, and serious psychological illness.
