Final Thoughts on Methamphetamine Side Effects

You may experience some or none of the side effects of methamphetamine listed in this article. Unfortunately, there is no way for your healthcare provider to know beforehand if you will have side effects from a medicine that you have never tried. Therefore, be sure to let your healthcare provider know if you develop any side effects during treatment or if something "just does not seem right."
