I think it's good you've told your 'shrink' and it's good that a test has been suggested. I think from what i've read, once you are able to stop taking amphetamine there shouldn't be any lasting effects. Whilst that is true physiologically i can't be 100% sure psychologically. Have you talked to your 'shrink' about your concerns? He's told you about what he predicts but has he said what will happen if that is the case? Just keep thinking you are on the road to getting help and finding the root cause of the problem will help you to sort it out.

Take his advice…take the test!!! Amphetamine abuse is UGLY!!! Not only are you killing your body but you are killing your brain. I went through a treatment center program for this…it was total HELL…but nothing worse than what was going on in my mind and body…It was worth every tear, every scream and yell. I was simply amazed when I found out how much damage I had cost myself. Today I am clean (and sober)…don't let the long term effects take over…or stop them in their tracks!!! Otherwise yes it will get worse and you will have irreversable damage….I hope that you get help!!! Please for you and those who love you!

Of course its bad. What did you think, doing meth was going to be good for you? Unfortunately for you, you might be paying for your meth use for the rest of your life. Not only the mental damage, but your teeth might fall out, it could very likely cause you to get cancer at an early age. Sucks to be you. Think about this. You were putting something in your body that was more than likely made in a very dirty place by morons with no education. Do you think if they accidently mess up something in making it, they will still sell it? Of course they will.

stimulant induced psychosis is bad, but since you are under the care of psychiatrist, unlikely to get worse (unless, of course you continue abusing meds). Luckily, it is usually a short-term condition.

Amphetamines abuse can lead to long term brain damage. YOu could experience the hallucinations and dissassocation for the rest of your life. It is also possible that once the drugs are out of your system that these symptoms will stop.
