Types of psychostimulants
Psychostimulants are drugs that have a stimulating effect on the nervous system. They bring a feeling of satisfaction, euphoria, improve communication, increase the speed of reaction.
Taking psychostimulants improves brain activity, accelerates thought processes, allows achieving 100% concentration, facilitates the perception of information, and stimulates muscle activity.
Having tried it once, narcotic drugs become a relief, an incentive for creativity, an opportunity to feel confident, irresistible, more agile and stronger.
The most popular drug substances:
- Cocaine. A vegetable substance. Inhaled through the nose or taken intravenously.
- Pervitin. A synthetic substance. Can be made at home. Gives a short-term stimulating effect, ending with a feeling of extreme weakness.
- Crack. A type of cocaine. It is highly effective, gives a strong narcotic effect and provokes addiction on a first try. However, the pleasant sensations last no more than a quarter of an hour.
- Ephedrine. A natural product. Gives damage to the nervous and respiratory systems, heart and blood vessels.
- Amphetamine. Acts quickly, stays in the blood up to 12 hours.
- Meth. A synthetic drug. Combines amphetamine with additives. The effect lasts up to 8 hours.
- Ecstasy. Popular with young people. Provokes the strongest addiction, leads to the development of paranoia and depression.
Actually, the list includes 3-4 dozen of psychostimulants. Caffeine and nicotine are also one of them.
Mechanism of psychostimulant addiction
Taking drugs blunts hunger, drowsiness, and gives a feeling of a superman. But, as you might guess, not for long. The nervous system is highly adaptable. Soon the body will require a higher dose.
And then a terrible truth comes out. The addict is on the hook – increasing the dose has only a temporary effect, while reducing it causes severe mental withdrawal syndrome. This is how addiction to psychostimulants develops.
As mentioned above, one dose is enough to develop addiction. Those who use and think they can simply quit whenever they want do not fully understand the full extent of the problem.
In fact, the chance of healing is zero. Quitting cold turkey at home can plunge a person into a state of shock or even kill.
Therefore, those who have tried to quit never bring the matter to completion. It is easier to take another dose than to relive withdrawal symptoms again. It turns out a vicious circle.
Danger of psychostimulant addiction
Drug addiction quickly destroys the body. Apart from the danger of HIV or hepatitis from repeated use of syringes, drug addicts develop other disorders:
- Mind: psychosis, depression, suicidal thoughts.
- Cardiovascular system: hypertension, tachycardia, arrhythmia.
- CNS: impaired brain activity, impaired vision and complete blindness, mental weakness, cognitive dysfunctions.
- Genitourinary system: damage to the renal arteries, erectile dysfunction, infertility, gynecological disorders.
- Other: physical weakness, thrombosis, boils, suppuration at the injection sites.
The situation worsens as the addict alone cannot beat the addiction. He knows he is weak and trapped. However, he rarely seeks medical help. First, it’s embarrassing. Secondly, remembering the withdrawal, he simply does not believe there is an opportunity to break the deadlock.
Health, relationships with loved ones, career and family collapse like a house of cards. Hence, the addict has depression, a feeling of worthlessness, dissatisfaction and despair that he will never return to normal life.
In despair, under the influence of drugs, many decide to commit suicide. But any, even such a serious situation, has its solution. Don’t give up!
