1.The Rush of the Drug- When the user engages in methamphetamine abuse they will feel an initial rush as the drug hits their systems. This is caused by an increase in your heart rate and bloody pressure.

2. The High Stage- When the high stage hits you will feel like you are smart, powerful, and full of energy. Being argumentative during this phase is common, and It can last as long as half an hour before you move on to the next stage.

3. Binge Methamphetamine Abuse- Binge methamphetamine abuse involves using methamphetamine uncontrollably. During a binge you may use methamphetamine constantly for days at a time. A binge can last up to 15 days in some cases, and when it is over the user moves on to the tweaking phase.

4. The Tweaking Phase- Tweaking is the name used for the phase, and this is the time when you are the most dangerous to yourself and to others. Methamphetamine abuse no longer produces the same high, and you no longer get the expected rush from the drug. Severe itching and extreme irritability and aggression are common signs of this stage.

5. Crashing Down- Once you have experienced the tweaking phase then you will crash, and your body will shut down due to sheer exhaustion and starvation. The crash period can last from 24 to 72 hours.

6. A Methamphetamine Hangover- A hangover from methamphetamine abuse and addiction involves the period when you wake up from the crash. You are still exhausted, and you are dehydrated as well. Starvation and malnutrition are also common conditions during the hangover stage.

7. Withdrawal Symptoms Start- Withdrawal symptoms caused by methamphetamine abuse and addiction will set in after the hangover phase. This stage can take as long as 90 days after the last time you used the drug, or it can occur within the first month.
