People often ask about what are the most common complications of methamphetamine abuse.
Use of this drug results in the brain becoming dangerously over aroused. This degree of brain arousal can result in seizures, delirium, panic attacks and psychosis. All of these conditions are very serious and can lead to chronic problems for the methamphetamine abuser. Abuse happens when a person's drinking leads them to experience problems that are caused by their use of alcohol. A problem can be anything from a health problem to family, employment or legal problems.
