effects of amphetamine abuse?

Answer 1

other than the effects you have been told on here teeth have been known to fall out after a few years and you risk looking like a skinny crack ho

Answer 2

Speed makes people feel wide awake, excited and chatty. Clubbers take it because it gives them the energy to dance for hours without getting knackered.
Speed was once the main ingredient in diet pills because it stops people feeling hungry.
There is a flip side:

It's impossible to sit still or sleep on speed
The come down can make users feel irritable and depressed and can last for one or two days.
Speed makes some people panicky. Sniff a lot in a short space of time and expect hallucinations.

You can get addicted to Speed. The more speed you take the greater chance you'll need to take more to get the same buzz.


Speed users have died from overdose.
Speed puts a strain on your heart. It's bad news for people with high blood pressure or a heart condition. An overdose can be fatal.
Avoid taking speed and anti-depressants or alcohol. This combination has been known to be fatal.
Taking a lot of speed can give your immune system a battering. You could get more colds, flu and sore throats if you use it a lot.
Speed can lead to anxiety, depression, irritability and aggression as well as mental illness such as psychosis and paranoid feelings.
Too much sniffing speed and you're sneezing lumps out of your nose into a hanky.
Injecting any drug can cause vein damage, ulcers and gangrene. Dirty or shared needles and injecting works can help the spread of hepatitis and HIV. Injecting speed is particularly dangerous because it's cut with so much crap.
It's easier to overdose injecting

Hope this helps

Answer 3

A close friend of mine is currently suffering from psychosis, brought on by 6 years of amphetamine abuse. He is in danger of being sectioned under the Mental Health Act. If you are worried about yourself (?) or someone you care about, please get in touch.

I've taken the stuff myself and am in no way judgemental but, like Icarus, can give you some honest advice.

Good luck

Answer 4

There are many effects, none of them good nor beneficial... The original medicinal use was for weight loss and or to stay alert, I've heard that the US Military prescribes some type of speed to fighter pilots and others that must be alert while in combat and to circumvent the need for sleep.

The side effects are irritability, addiction, loss of sense of reality, habitual use, loss of pleasure and sense of well being. The brain gets accustomed to the high and nothing seems to meet that sense of pleasure as does the drug.

Answer 5

mmm i was addicted for 2 or 3 years, if you are in a similar situation you will already know that you lose a lot of weight, sleep and your confidence.

For me at least, the paranoia was the killer and the mood swings (aka temper tantrums lol). Hopefully you can already see that your life has been changed by this powder~ if you want to talk more, email me bud.

Best of luck

Answer 6

Watch the show "Intervention" is shows the addiction situation. I have seen some people over the years lose everything and everybody in their life. It causes you to lose your teeth, looks, jobs, health, and just about every aspect of a normal .life. The places you go to get it and the people you go to are very scary. Lost a few people to the drugs over the years.

Answer 7

amphetamines mess up the dopamine balance in your brain and induce schizophrenic symptoms. overuse can lead to a permanent imbalance and therefore permanent psychosis.
