Each time the abuser smokes or injects more of the drug, he experiences another but smaller rush until, finally, there is no rush and no high.Ĥ) Tweaking-A methamphetamine abuser is most dangerous when experiencing a phase of the addiction called “tweaking”-a condition reached at the end of a drug binge when methamphetamine no longer provides a rush or a high. During the binge, the abuser becomes hyperactive both mentally and physically. The binge can last three to fifteen days. It refers to the abuser’s urge to maintain the high by smoking or injecting more methamphetamine. The high can last four to sixteen hours.ģ) The Binge-A binge is uncontrolled use of a drug or alcohol. The delusional effects can result in a user becoming intensely focused on an insignificant item, such as repeatedly cleaning the same window for several hours. Unlike the rush associated with crack cocaine, which lasts for approximately two to five minutes, the methamphetamine rush can continue for up to thirty minutes.Ģ) The High-The rush is followed by a high, sometimes called “the shoulder.” During the high, the abuser often feels aggressively smarter and becomes argumentative, often interrupting other people and finishing their sentences. During the rush, the abuser’s heartbeat races and metabolism, 1 blood pressure and pulse soar. 1) The Rush-A rush is the initial response the abuser feels when smoking or injecting methamphetamine.
