Answer: There are no drugs specifically indicated for methamphetamine withdrawal. Because of the way methamphetamine affects the brain chemistry, individuals often feel tired, depressed, and apathetic during methamphetamine detox, particularly after heavy or prolonged usage. For this reason, it is often advisable to see a doctor for an evaluation of both your physical and mental health when coming off of methamphetamine. If you injected the drug, it is important to be tested for Hepatitis and HIV.
