3.What Are The Signs Of Cocaine/Amphetamine Addiction?
When a person continues to use drugs, especially cocaine or amphetamines, they use it excessively without any regard to the consequences that come along with their drug use. Despite the negative side effects that these drugs have, a person will do whatever it takes to get more, and find that “high”.
The most common signs of cocaine abuse include blood shot eyes, enlarged pupils, nose bleeds, insomnia, irregular heartbeat, unexplained weight loss, and elevated speech patterns. Non physical symptoms may include irregular behavior, loss of job, mood swings, increased anxiety, relationship problems, and continuous lying.
Amphetamine abuse can have some similar symptoms along with changes in behavior such as schizophrenic like psychotic episodes, delusions, and hallucinations especially if they become dependent on the drug. Other abuse symptoms might include things including abnormal aggressive behavior, and problems with work or school. Abusers may also develop legal problems due to their aggression problems with other people.
Use of these drugs will still continue despite any trouble that the user may get into or the negative impact their use will have on themselves or their family. The sooner the user gets help, the better their chance of recovery will be in the future.Related Article : The Biology of Stimulants, or Why You Can’t Stay High Forever
