Accepted Answer

: One detailed study showed that chronic meth use can be found in hair tests up to 153 days after being stopped. As for false positives with those meds listed,your pharmacist will possibly have that information but I'm dubious that they would test positive.

too much: This is too much diphenhydramine, you should not take such high doses before checking with a doctor or guided by a doctor.

Question 6

is 75mg of diphenhydramine an overdose?

Accepted Answer

75mg diphenhydramine: Is larger than a single dose should be for an adult or child. So it is technically an overdose. Normal doses for a child may be 75 to 150mg per day in divided dose or 150 to 300 mg per day in a divided dose for an adult. Are you considering taking an overdose?  If you are -please have a friend or relative take you to the nearest er or call 911. With help your life and problems can improve.

Question 9

why is meth so dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Addiction: It is highly addicting and chronic use has many bad health outcomes.

Question 10

how is meth used as a medicine?

Accepted Answer

Which meth?: I actually HATE that word, because some people use it for methadone, and others for methamphetamine. Both are medications. Methadone is a pain medication, used in severe chronic pain as well as the treatment of opioid addiction. Methamphetamine (Desoxyn) is used to treat the same things Adderall or RItalin (methylphenidate) are used for - ADHD, narcolepsy, sleep shift disorders and conditions needing stimulants.
