It depends: Side effects can differ significantly from one person to another. Indeed some people can even become sedated when they use a stimulant. Rapid heart rate and increased bp common and even serious heart arrhythmias can occur. I doubt your insurance could be dropped based on meth abuse particularly now with obamacare.
