Methamphetamine Addiction

Methamphetamine addiction can cause a wide range of physical and mental effects, including increased heart rate, heightened energy levels, euphoria, irritability, talkativeness, and racing blood pressure.

The side effects of methamphetamine abuse can be unpleasant and severe, including nausea, bowel loosening, aggressive impulses, sweating, jaw clenching, appetite suppression, and increased body temperature.

To ensure the safety of our clients during ibogaine treatment, we require that methamphetamine users stop taking the drug at least three days before arriving at Tabula Rasa Retreat. This applies to all stimulants such as cocaine, crack, Ritalin, ephedra, Adderall, Vyvanse, and ADHD treatments.

Methamphetamine damages the synapse pathways in the brain, which can lead to withdrawal symptoms. Roughly 87% of long-term users of crystal meth will experience withdrawal effects.Abrupt discontinuation of the substance can lead to an array of withdrawal symptoms, which can be intense and severe.

Some of the most common withdrawal symptoms include insomnia or excessive sleepiness, tremors or shaking, muscle weakness or aches, cravings for methamphetamine, and increased heart rate and blood pressure.

On the emotional front, most users can expect prolonged depression, anhedonia, anxiety or panic attacks, extreme irritability, paranoia or hallucinations, and even suicidal thoughts or actions

However, ibogaine treatment can help to reduce these symptoms. Ibogaine rebuilds the damaged synapse pathways caused by methamphetamine, leading to a sharp decrease in the desire to use the drug. While not all users experience a complete disappearance of their cravings, ibogaine can reduce cravings for methamphetamine.
