Is it possible to stop taking amphetamine on your own?

Table of Contents

Amphetamine (beta-methylphenylethylamine) or "club" drug, which in slang can also be called speed, hair dryer, speed, aids, screw, is a drug that has a stimulating effect on the central nervous system, causing a rise in mood and a surge of strength. It has become widespread among young people, which is mainly due to its accessibility and an erroneous opinion about its safety.

The main danger of this drug is the absence of a pronounced withdrawal syndrome in the intervals between doses. As a result of regular use of amphetamine, a person has a persistent psychological dependence, so once addicted to this drug, it is unlikely that he will be able to jump off the hair dryer on his own.

Invisible danger

The vast majority of young people who have once experienced the effect of a hair dryer, tend to re-use it. Among young people, it is widely believed that the use of amphetamine does not lead to physical dependence. In the absence of the next dose, a person does not experience withdrawal, which is characteristic of heavy drugs, and the psychological state accompanying the emerging dependence is considered only a consequence of the lack of mood.

Its use for medicinal purposes, as a means for the treatment of depression and other disorders, adds confidence in the safety of amphetamine. But in nightclubs it is used by absolutely healthy people, most of whom are teenagers. The main goal is curiosity and the desire to feel an unusual activity for the human psyche again. What will be the consequences of such curiosity, and whether a person will be able to stop using amphetamine on their own, few people are interested.

Addiction to amphetamine changes the range of interests of a teenager. Old hobbies and friends fade into the background. The dependent is less and less interested in studying, career, and the implementation of once important plans. The desire to regain the old sensations and get even more pleasure, have fun and not feel problems-these are the main goals of amphetamine lovers.

Initial signs of addiction

Due to the fact that all the changes that occur with long-term use of amphetamines are stretched over time, addicts simply do not notice them. An altered consciousness does not make it possible to give a real assessment of the situation. Unrestrained fun is replaced by dissatisfaction, which addicts try to fight with increasing the dose.

Others notice changes in the behavior of a person addicted to amphetamine only at the stage when he is no longer able to refuse another dose. Moreover, at first people tend to reject addiction, explaining everything by youth and the desire to simply "experience everything for yourself".

The main signs of amphetamine use:

mood swings;
aggressiveness, irritability;
depressive state;
suicidal thoughts;
mental and physical exhaustion;
various sleep disorders.

Exhaustion of the nervous system leads to irreversible mental disorders, so you need to stop sniffing a hair dryer as soon as possible. The harmful effects of synthetic drugs are multifaceted, so it is important not just to stop using a hair dryer, but also to restore physical and mental health.
