As the crystal meth epidemic continues to get worse, it is vital to be aware of the common signs of crystal meth abuse. Crystal meth is the man-made drug that is killing our sisters, brothers, friends and loved ones, and it is happening everyday. Crystal meth is made strictly from chemicals found around the house. These chemicals include, but are not limited to; lye, Sudafed, battery acid and Draino.

There are many different drug addiction sings. When people take drugs the pleasure center of the brain is sent a flood of messages that overloads this area of the brain. In particular, dopamine, a neurotransmitter, is released causing a euphoria. Subsequently, drug use can end up having various side effects including insomnia, loss of weight, or even death. To help you determine whether a loved one is showing the signs of drug addiction, here, is a list of some common signs:

-Hostility or anger

-Anxiety or irritability

-Depression or suicidal thoughts

-Health problems like a heart attack

The discovery someone you care about is using meth is heart breaking. The signs of use are easy to identify if you know what to look for. You will notice definite change in behavior. Meth is a stimulant, it heightens the senses, and a feeling of well being is experienced. The user will become talkative and active. Insomnia develops, sometimes for days. They lose interest in eating, schoolwork, and relationships with non-users. Other users start hanging around. The person becomes secretive, locking himself away for hours at a time. Things of value start to disappear. Soon, irritability from lack of sleep sets in. They become distant and defensive about using. Hygiene starts to decline. They quit bathing, brushing their teeth, and combing their hair. As the addiction progresses, they disappear for days without telling anyone where they have been. They become secretive about their friends. Life is in disarray. They become a shell of their former self. This is a painful time for loved ones. Going days on end wondering when the call will come with news of an overdose or death.
