Amphetamine overdose

Patients should return to their healthcare provider if they develop breathlessness or fatigue, which may be signs of dangerous blood or heart problems. They should drink plenty of fluids at social activities and resist the urge to continue to misuse drugs. They can be reminded that chronic misuse of amphetamines and recreational drugs can lead to poor recall and loss of memory, difficulty concentrating, inability to carry out simple calculations, and impaired problem-solving.
