Symptoms of thyrotoxicosis include nervousness, anxiety, palpitations, emotional lability, easy fatigability, heat intolerance, loss of weight concurrent with an increased appetite, increased frequency of bowel movements, proximal muscle weakness (noted on climbing stairs or arising from a sitting position), and scanty or irregular menses in women. 

Systemic effects of methamphetamine are similar to those of cocaine. Inhalation or IV injection results in an intense rush that lasts a few minutes. Methamphetamine has a longer duration of effect than cocaine. Pharmacologic effects include increased wakefulness, increased physical activity, decreased appetite, increased respiration, hyperthermia, euphoria, irritability, insomnia, confusion, tremors, anxiety, paranoia, aggressiveness, convulsions, increased heart rate and blood pressure, stroke, and death. 

Appetite Stimulants. A large body of neuroscience research indicates that serotonin plays a prominent role in the modulation of appetite. Increases in serotonin availability in certain brain regions confer a sense of satiety, and decreases of serotonin are associated with hunger. Consequently, agents that block the release or action of serotonin in the brain increase appetite and should theoretically be helpful in the treatment of AN.

The adverse effects essentially comprise the symptoms of hyperthyroidism and include weight loss despite a normal or increased appetite, increased nervousness, tachycardia or dysrhythmias of various types, and increased general metabolism and its symptoms (hyperactivity, sweating, fever, etc.). Allergic reactions to pure thyroid formulations are rare and were first reported as late as 1986. Tumor-inducing effects have been investigated but not confirmed. 

Reportedly, there are no physical symptoms of khat withdrawal of the type associated with other stimulants such as alcohol, morphine, or the barbiturates. Abandoning the habit, however, is frequently followed by depression, loss of energy, and an increased desire to sleep. The severity of depression varies and may lead to agitation and sometimes sleep disturbances. For the most part, former users are less prone to constipation and smoke less. If they consume alcohol, they usually drink less, and their appetite increases. 

The central nervous system actions that result from taking even small amounts of methamphetamine, on the other hand, include extreme alertness, increased energy, decreased appetite, increased respiration, hyperthermia, and euphoria—generally the effects sought by users. But over time, side effects such as irritability, insomnia, confusion, tremors, convulsions, anxiety, paranoia, and aggressiveness begin to intrude. These symptoms are magnified by lack of sleep. Withdrawal often produces severe depression.
