Question 5

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.

Question 6

what does meth do to your body?

Accepted Answer

Great Question : Meth is toxic to the body. It is a highly addictive substance. The user experiences a high or rush that produces a burst of energy or euphoria similar to acute mania. When it wears off, the user becomes depressed. It can make you paranoid and acutely psychotic. It can cause a heart attack or a stroke. Severe weightloss is common and your teeth rot and fall out. Meth kills the body! Don't do it!

Question 7

how can i help a friend on meth?

Accepted Answer

You can't: Only he can help himself, but there are things you can do that first of all help yourself (and other friends/family), and may ultimately help him. Family members often "enable" drinking, allowing the person to get away with behaviors that are unacceptable.  Alanon and Nar-anon are programs for family/friends of those with addiction and can help you understand what you can, and can't do. Good luck.
