What is Methamphetamine?
Methamphetamine (also known as Meth, Desoxyn; Crank, Crystal, Glass, Ice, and Speed) is a potent sympathomimetic agent with therapeutic applications. Acute, high doses lead to enhanced stimulation of the central nervous system and induce euphoria, alertness, and a sense of increased energy and power. More acute responses produce anxiety, paranoia, psychotic behavior, and cardiac dysrhythmias. The pattern of psychosis which may appear at half-life of about 15 hours and is excreted in urine as amphetamine and oxidized as deaminated and hydroxylated derivatives. However, 40% of methamphetamine is excreted unchanged. Thus, the presence of the parent compound in the urine indicates methamphetamine use.
