How harmful is low dose oral methamphetamine?

Swim has been taking some meth to help him study at night and started to wonder how bad it was for him.

Swim has taken about 100mg orally within the past 14 days.
Swim has taken a maximum of 20mg within 12 hours.
Swim doses 5-10mg every few hours during the night until daytime, sometimes 2 nights in a row.
Swim is 130lbs and relatively young.
Swim has been doing his best to reduce harm by eating healthy and taking magnesium supplements.
The meth is supposedly "high quality". However, assume the worst.

So basically swim is wondering what kind of negative effects this dosage might have on him, (worse case scenario). Could there be any significant amount of neurotoxicity? Is this dosage sufficient to cause tissue damage? Could any tolerance or addiction be expected if this pattern is continued?

Any studies or personal experience would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
That sounds like a legal dose of legally prescribed adhd medicine, which is amphetamines too, they prescribe these to children. Read Dr Carl Hart's books on his over 20 years of research on drug use in real adults. "Drug use for grown-ups " has harm reduction tips

But adhd patients only take one dose every morning.
 
Looks like a rather safe regiment. Pharmaceutical doses of methamphetamine aka desoxyn are 5mg orally iirc. So you should be safe. Methamphetamine neurotoxicity becomes a problem with continuous high doses so that you end up with over a quarter of a gram daily. Repeat this on an on and neurotoxicity becomes an issue I think.
