protecting Your Body While Using Meth
HARM REDUCTION GUIDE ONCE MORE – REDUCING METHAMPHETAMINE SIDE EFFECTS
π§ Your Brain: Fried Dopamine Receptors
Meth floods your brain with dopamine, way beyond natural levels. Over time, your body stops making its own, which leads to deep crashes and depression.
π§ͺ What Helps
- L-Tyrosine β Amino acid that supports dopamine production
- Mucuna Pruriens (L-Dopa) β Direct dopamine precursor (start low)
- Rhodiola Rosea β Adaptogen that supports brain balance
- B-Complex Vitamins β Especially B6, B9, and B12 for neurotransmitter health
- Omega-3s (Fish Oil) β Protects brain function and memory
β€οΈ Your Heart: Overworked and Stressed
Meth increases your heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on your cardiovascular system. Long-term, this raises your risk of stroke and heart failure.
π§ͺ What Helps
- Magnesium Glycinate or Taurate β Supports healthy heartbeat and blood pressure
- CoQ10 β Repairs and energizes heart cells
- Hawthorn Berry Extract β Strengthens heart muscle
- Potassium + Electrolytes β Replaces what’s lost from sweating or dehydration
π¦· Teeth & Mouth: βMeth Mouthβ Prevention
No saliva, grinding teeth, and bad hygiene = oral damage. Itβs not just about looks β infections in your mouth can spread to your heart.
π§ͺ What Helps
- Xylitol Gum or Mouthwash β Reduces cavities and keeps mouth moist
- Calcium + Vitamin D3/K2 β Strengthens teeth and jawbone
- Prescription Toothpaste (e.g. Prevident) β For enamel repair
- L-Glutamine β Helps tissue healing and gut repair
π§ Body Breakdown: Muscle Loss, No Sleep, No Food
Meth is catabolic β it burns through muscle and eats your body from the inside out. Add no food and no sleep, and recovery gets hard.
π§ͺ What Helps
- L-Theanine β Calms your nervous system without sedating you
- Ashwagandha β Reduces cortisol, supports sleep and hormone recovery
- Collagen or Bone Broth β Rebuilds tissue, skin, and joints
- Zinc + Vitamin C β Supports immune healing
- Protein Powder β Replaces lost muscle mass (whey, pea, or casein)
Bonus Sleep Stack: Melatonin (1-3mg) + Magnesium Glycinate + L-Theanine
π§ Mental Health: Mood Swings, Paranoia, and Psychosis
High-dose or long-term meth use can cause anxiety, paranoia, and even psychotic breaks β mostly due to sleep-deprivation.
π§ͺ What Helps
- L-Theanine β Smooths anxiety and comedowns
- 5-HTP or Tryptophan β Helps rebuild serotonin (do NOT mix with SSRIs)
- SAM-e β Supports mood and liver detox
- Magnesium β Natural mood stabilizer and relaxant
- CBD (No THC) β Can reduce anxiety and paranoia without the high

Thank you Cook, Everyone using needs to understand the effects on the body and brain and try to reduce the damage it causes!! Try to eat and sleep everyday β¦ even if itβs just a little of both!
Also be very careful with supplements, there is such a thing as too much even with vitamins!
Thank you for the info!
