Answer 1

Heroin is an addictive drug that causes physical dependence. Here are some info from this site :http://www.heroin-addiction.info/side-effects.htm
"It has severe and drastic side effects. When heroin is used it affects the brain chemistry significantly, creating the risk for seizures, strokes, and even death. Repetitive use of heroin lead to not only physiologically addiction but physical addiction as well. The users body begins to need heroin in order to feel "normal" and not sick from heroin withdrawal. Additional side effects due to heroin use include tolerance, collapsed veins, infection of the heart lining and valves, abscesses, liver disease, pulmonary complications, various types of pneumonia, a higher risk for contracting HIV, Hepatitis B and C and other viruses.

Heroin's side effects include but are not limited to:

* bacterial infections
* arthritis and other rheumatologic problems
* seizures
* strokes
* death
* physiologically and physical addiction
* tolerance
* collapsed veins
* infection of the heart lining and valves
* abscesses
* liver disease
* pulmonary complications
* various types of pneumonia
* a higher risk for contracting HIV, Hepatitis B and C and other viruses "

Once the addiction is there it is very difficult for a person to stop. The best remedy is to bring her to a rehabilitation center where she can be given specialised treatment.

Answer 2

soon after injection (or inhalation), heroin crosses the blood-brain barrier. In the brain, heroin is converted to morphine and binds rapidly to opioid receptors. Abusers typically report feeling a surge of pleasurable sensation, a "rush." The intensity of the rush is a function of how much drug is taken and how rapidly the drug enters the brain and binds to the natural opioid receptors.

Short-term effects of heroin

* "Rush"
* Depressed respiration
* Clouded mental functioning
* Nausea and vomiting
* Suppression of pain
* Spontaneous abortion

Heroin is particularly addictive because it enters the brain so rapidly. With heroin, the rush is usually accompanied by a warm flushing of the skin, dry mouth, and a heavy feeling in the extremities, which may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and severe itching. fter the initial effects, abusers usually will be drowsy for several hours. Mental function is clouded by heroin's effect on the central nervous system. Cardiac functions slow. Breathing is also severely slowed, sometimes to the point of death. Heroin overdose is a particular risk on the street, where the amount and purity of the drug cannot be accurately known.

Answer 3

Probably the worst side effect that I can think of would be death. Many people experience this on just the first try of the drug. Sometimes, that side effect does not go away and the person ends up living their life, dead. It's a very sad way to go through life.

Answer 4

if the person is addicted they will lose themselves.
when they are not on the drug they are quiet, irratable dont talk and arent very social. once they get their fix their get really energetic as their high comes into affect, as soon as that high is gone the person is a zombie again just waiting for their next fix
