Methamphetamine

use triggers production of anti-methamphetamine antibodies.

Users therefore require larger and larger doses to obtain the same effect (at least in mice). This may explain some of the binge behavior associated with the drug.

I therefore suggest to all my patients to start anti-B cell therapy such as Rituxan before beginning meth use.
