Hello,
As per my clinical experience, long term meth consumption is associated with variety of side effects as:
- Respiratory problems
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Sinus congestion
- Body ache or lethargy
- Hot flushes at times
- Mood swings or irritability
- Skin eruptions or rashes through overt sensitivity of skin reeceptors
- GI upset as chronic constipation or diarrhea
- Others
