YES it is very addictive.From my personal experience, I stared to loose weight almost immediately,I went from 160 lb to 120lb in 3 months, and I was addicted about 2 months after I started using. I first started only using on weekends, but by the time 4 weekends went by I started using during the week just so I could get by. After about 2 months I thought..Wow I need to lay off this s**t, so I tryed but the withdrawals were so intense I coulnt get out of bed to got to work, so I gave in and told myself I'll quit next week. It took me 4 years to finally get the strenght. I was the hardest thing I have ever gone thru.

All addictive drugs have two things in common: they produce an initial pleasurable effect, followed by a rebound unpleasant effect. Methamphetamine, through its stimulant effects, produces an initial positive feeling but later leaves the user feeling depressed. This is because it suppresses the normal production of dopamine, creating a chemical imbalance. The user physically demands more of the drug to return to normal. This pleasure/tension cycle leads to loss of control over the drug and addiction.
So you want to use meth for weight loss. I will not honor that with a response. Seek counseling

People who use it can get hooked after just their first try, and once a person is addicted it's extremely difficult to get off the drug. The ingredients used to make meth include toxic chemicals that do permanent injury to the body. Meth doesn't just affect the user, it also impacts the user's family and society as a whole.
Users, police officers, doctors and families of users will tell you it's next to impossible to overcome meth addiction. For meth users undergoing current rehab programs, the success rate is very slim. With rates that low, the bottom line is simply don't start using.
Treatment providers describe meth abusers as the hardest to treat of all drug users. A user has an intense and fanatical devotion to meth, resisting treatment even when it's voluntary. The severity and length of withdrawal symptoms depends on the amount of physical, mental and emotional damage done during use. Symptoms include: drug craving, irritability, loss of energy, depression, shaking, nausea, sweating and fearfulness.
Although meth addicts get over the acute effects of withdrawal fairly quickly, they have to climb the "wall" to have any hope of overcoming the drug. This period can last anywhere from six months to three years. Effective meth rehab can't even begin until a user has been meth-free for an extended period of time.
A relapse of meth use can occur, even after a treatment program. Even after serving jail time and forcibly being without the drug for several months, many users will fall back to their addiction.
Taking it to lose weight? Oh, my God! Remember Gilda Radner (SNL original) comedy routines where she said she would like to have cancer to lose weight? She said she regretted those once she got cancer. She died of ovarian cancer.

Well to start with yes meth is addictive. A person loses weight from meth use due to the hunger suppressant qualities of the drug and from the over activity it causes. If you are looking to lose weight this is a terrible way to do it. Along with weight loss it causes; acne, horrible body odor, psychosis, dental disintegration (your teeth rot and fall out), Malnutrition (from not eating) and if that is not enough it is illegal and will sooner or later lead to a jail term.

Yes it can be addictive, cuz once you start using it, you always want that fast feeling again, then it becomes a dependency cuz you feel you need it to complete tasks. Your appetite is curved and you eat less, its hell to get off of, my recomendation, dont start.

Addictive yes, potentially fatal yes. It is your body, but thing before you risk becoming a statistic.
