    THE EFFECTS OF AMPHETAMINE USE

    Regular use of amphetamines might bring mood fluctuation, nutritional trouble, irregular heartbeat, diarrhea or constipation, loss of weight, high blood pressure and sleeping disorder. Greater dosage of amphetamine may cause hallucinations, nerve damage, paranoia and chronic psychosis. Few days or weeks after discontinuation of the use, most of these problems disappear. There are reports of persisting brain damage caused by the use of methamphetamine.

     

    Serious personal problems may develop due to continuous use of this drug. Friends and family night be overlooked giving more importance to the drug. The use can continue even when the schoolwork suffers, legal-financial or spiritual problem surfaces. Young users of this drug becomes incapable of developing the problem solving qualities, handling tricky emotional issues, grow up to be mature and dependable adults. 

     

     

    Amphetamine users give birth to premature babies or infants with low weight during birth, and suffer from withdrawal symptoms like anxiety and sleepiness. The danger of birth defects increase by many folds. Through the breast milk the drug is transmitted to the suckling baby.

     

     

    If the use even though light dosage becomes continuous, the users will get addicted. As the cravings get obsessive the user can go to any extent to get hold of more. The intake is continued to evade the collapse they feel when the effect of the drug weaken.
