Abstract
Methamphetamine is a psychostimulant and consequently causes body reactions of increased energy, alertness, sociability, elation, euphoria, decreased need for sleep, and decreased appetite. However, a phenomenon commonly referred to as “overamping” can occur, from several causes, and can be seen manifested as confusion, restlessness, hallucinations, unstable mental health, chest pain, jerking movements, fast heart rate, uncontrollable teeth grinding and many other distressing symptoms. This presentation will detail the causes, treatment tips, prevention tips, and ensure that a person experiencing “overamping” has the proper support.
Objectives
- Describe the general physiological effects of methamphetamine use
- Expound how overuse of psychostimulants can manifest
- Outline basic tips for prevention of "overamping" and some tips for home non-emergency management of "overamping"
- Distinguish between a presentation of "overamping" versus a medical emergency requiring activation of emergency medical services and acute care hospitalization
