Patient discussions

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 may be reminded that chronic misuse of amfetamines and recreational drugs can lead to poor recall and loss of memory, difficulty in concentrating, inability to carry out simple calculations, and impaired problem-solving.
