since meth causes neurotransmitters to overstimulate they in time down-regulate to compensate for the increased levels of dopamine being released due to the meth but over time they basically start to shut down from working harder than they are meant to and once a neurotransmitter shuts down it can never function again so meth basically kills neurotransmitters over time

Does emsam help with meth withdrawal?

Emsam (selegiline HCL) can be helpful in some cases of methamphetamine withdrawal. Meth raises levels of the neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin in the brain. When consumption ceases, levels of these neurotransmitters drop drastically, causing depression, lethargy, and other symptoms. Emsam is an MAOI, which is capable of raising levels of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. Emsam may take a long time to work, for some individuals more than 3 weeks.....however it can reduce cravings for meth and alleviate withdrawal symptoms.

Long term effects of meth?

Long term effects of meth are addiction to the drug. I'll have more later. xD --- Chronic methamphetamine causes great stress on many body systems. Because meth users seldom eat or drink healthily and because the drug suppresses appetite they are often malnourished. Because the drug raises heart rate and blood pressure they suffer from the problems those illnesses bring on. Because the drug prevents sleep the body and mind get insufficient rest; staying awake too long may precipitate psychosis. In fact, simply using a lot of meth can make you psychotic. There's some evidence that the action of meth on neurons damages them directly. Because meth raises the levels of neurotransmitters, the brain may adapt by lowering the number of receptors or increasing reuptake sites. Meth makes you grind your teeth and forget about your personal hygiene, so meth users very often have very bad teeth. It's dangerous stuff.
