Know the Signs…

How can you tell if a friend is using meth? It may not be easy to tell but there are signs you can look for. Symptoms of methamphetamine use may include:

• Inability to sleep
• Increased sensitivity to noise
• Nervous physical activity, like scratching – possible skin lesions
• Irritability, dizziness, or confusion
• Pale face
• Extreme anorexia
• Tremors or even convulsions
• Increased heart rate, blood pressure, and risk of stroke
• Presence of inhaling paraphernalia, such as razor blades, mirrors, and straws
• Presence of injecting paraphernalia, such as syringes, heated spoons, or surgical tubing.

The Sampson County Methamphetamine Task Force encourages your support and participation in reducing the tragedies of “meth addiction”.
