See an addiction MD: It's honestly that simple. See a doc to offer support who specializes in addiction medicine and the rest is up to you. Stop using meth. If you keep using it, chances are bad things will happen. Finally, stay away from other people who use. Often you can get Into a treatment program by checking yourself in through the nearest hospital. Good luck.

See below: Stopping methamphetamine doesn't cause severe physical symptoms, such as those from withdrawing from narcotics or benzodiazepnes, and no specific treatment is needed. The main withdrawal symptom is anhedonia (inability to feel pleasure), which can last months. Severe depression can occur. Best success staying drug free is to be in a drug rehab program with counseling.
