A member asked:
What are the dangers of methampetamine use during chemotherapy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many dangers: From effects on appetite to cardiac arrhythmias on a depleted state. There are only a few conditions where low doses prescribed amphetamines may be tried for palliative reasons. It has to do with a clear goal setting discussion with prescribing physician where possible benefits are projected against likely side effects.
