· Increased agitation and physical activity
· Excited speech
· Intense paranoia
· Possible hallucinations or delusions
· Episodes of sudden, violent anger
· Repetitious behaviors such as picking at skin
· Teeth loss, acne/sores
· Increased sweating/body odor
Meth users may also display compulsive action, such as cleaning and grooming or sorting and disassembling objects. High blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and elevated body temperature may also accompany meth use.
