The term "methargic" is not widely recognized in clinical or common language, but it's an interesting way to describe a specific state. If someone is feeling lethargic after using methamphetamine, it could indeed be a sign of coming down from a stimulant high. Methamphetamine use can lead to a cycle of intense energy and activity followed by a phase of exhaustion, fatigue depression and a lack of motivation as the drug's effects wear off. In medical or psychological contexts, this condition might be described more formally as part of withdrawal symptoms or a crash after stimulant use.
