Amphetamine is a highly addictive drug that can cause health and mental problems.
Amphetamine is a stimulant that is used in the treatment of obesity, narcolepsy and most notably, ADHD or other attention deficit disorders. The drug stimulates the central nervous system causing an increase in the production of the epinephrine and norepinephrine. This spike generally results in increased alertness, appetite suppression, increased energy and feelings of power.
Unfortunately, amphetamine is also a habit-forming drug that can lead to physical and psychological dependence which requires treatment. Amphetamine addiction has become an increasingly common problem throughout the United States and other western civilizations with the advent of methamphetamine, a double synthesized form of amphetamine that is manufactured in clandestine labs throughout many countries of the world.
Amphetamine addiction can lead to permanent brain or neurological damage, may cause adverse side effects or overdose and is one of the leading causes for emergency room visits throughout the U.S. Excessive use of amphetamine or amphetamine containing drugs can lead to psychosis and various other psychiatric problems such as depression, anxiety and paranoia. Users are likely to behave or act irrationally while under the influence of amphetamine and often resort to impasse behaviors in an effort to stay “high” on amphetamine once a pattern of abuse has been established.
