Health risks and problems associated with amphetamine use:

* Agitation, Inability to Concentrate: In some users, increasing with dose, amphetamine causes agitation, restlessness, and inability to concentrate or focus.
Frequency: uncommon, increasing with dose.
Certainty: clear causation.

* Cardiovascular Stress: Increased heart rate and blood pressure. Tachycardia (fast heart) and palpitations are common at high doses.
Frequency: very common.
Certainty: clear causation.

* Heart Attack & Hypertensive Crisis: With higher doses and for vulnerable individuals, Cardiovascular Stress can precipitate severe hypertensive crises and Heart Attacks.
Frequency: uncommon.
Certainty: clear causation.

* Stroke: Increases risk of stroke as dose increases.
Frequency: unknown.
Certainty: medium. [Kaku 1990, Lambrecht 1993]

* Overheating: High doses can cause overheating (hyperthermia) which can be dangerous in certain environments or for vulnerable people.
Frequency: common.
Certainty: clear causation.

* Poor Sleep Quality: Mild sleep disruptions are very common and include difficulty falling asleep and poor sleep quality.
Frequency: typical.
Certainty: clear causation.

* Sleep Deprivation: Repeated dosing can lead to lack of sleep for days on end, resulting in cognitive impairment, poor judgement, confusion, hallucinations, and paranoia.
Frequency: typical with repeated dosing.
Certainty: clear causation.

* Bad Driving: Lack of sleep can lead to impaired judgement and poor driving.
Frequency: common with sleep deprivation.
Certainty: link established.

* Poor Diet: Reduced appetite and reduced enjoyment of eating can lead to poor diet which, over time, can lead to poor general health, oral health and skin tone, and increased physical and mental stress.
Frequency: common with chronic use.
Certainty: clear causation.

* Stress & Oxidative Damage: Methamphetamine causes stress to the body and mind and causes an increase in oxidative stress in blood and tissues. At very high doses and frequencies of use, organ damage and premature aging may occur.
Frequency: common.
Certainty: some evidence.

* Damage to Teeth and Gums #: Jaw tension can lead to teeth grinding (bruxia/bruxism) and permanent wear and cracking. Long-term use of amphetamines can result in tooth rot (dental caries) and loss of teeth. [Shaner 2002] Regular amphetamine use can lead to gingivitis (inflammation of the gums). This may be the result of prolonged dry mouth which can cause the gums to become inflamed, worsening oral health. [Hasan 2004].
Frequency: common.
Certainty: link established.

* Paranoia: Using recreational (higher) doses of amphetamines more than once per day or for several days in a row can cause mild to moderate paranoid ideation in some users. The paranoid thinking can cause lasting problems and the paranoia can sometimes last for days or weeks after use ceases. Regular amphetamine use (and lack of sleep) can cause paranoid, delusional thinking and sometimes auditory and visual hallucinations (usually barely audible or on the periphery of vision). Chronic, high dose use may lead to long term mental health problems. [Nurse's PDR 2005]
Frequency: uncommon.
Certainty: some evidence [self reports].

* Risky Sex: Euphoria, altered mental state, and altered sense of control at recreational doses can lead to risky sexual behavior. [ Self Reports ]
Frequency: unknown.
Certainty: some evidence [self reports].

* Dry Mucus Membranes: Dried mucus membranes can lead to bloody noses, painful sinus dryness, and increased likelihood of sinus infections.
Frequency: common.
Certainty: link established.

* Dry Skin, Picking at the Skin: Regular amphetamine use is associated with a drying of the skin and increased itchyness. Obsessively picking or pulling at the skin (sometimes until it bleeds) is reported in many people after higher dose, frequent use of methamphetamine.
Frequency: unknown.
Certainty: some evidence [self reports].

* Neurotoxicity (Methamphetamine): At high doses, methamphetamine causes damage to dopamine and serotonin neurons in the brain [Seiden 1976, Thompson 2004]. Long term use may lead to noticeable neurological and behavioral problems. This effect is well documented with methamphetamine in mice and now largely confirmed in humans; behavioral/clinical effects of this damage is not well documented in humans [Hanson 2004].
Frequency: unknown.
Certainty: link established in rodents, exact nature unclear in humans.

* Neurotoxicity (D/L-Amphetamine): Neurotoxicity with D/L amphetamine (most of what is prescribed as medications) is not as well documented, but at very high doses and frequencies, neurotoxicity does occur in mice and rats. [Jonsson 1982]
Frequency: unknown.
Certainty: unknown.

* Rhabdomyolysis and Kidney Damage: Breakdown of muscle fibers usually caused by overheating and overstimulation. High-dose use can result in rhabdomyolysis, causing large amounts of proteins to be released into the blood. Urine becomes dark as the rhabdomyolysis increases and the kidneys can suffer mild to severe damage. [Chan 1994, Lan 1998].
Frequency: rare.
Certainty: some direct evidence.

* Dangerous to combine with other stimulants: Amphetamines used with MDMA appear to cause damage to the dopamine neurons in the brain [Reneman 2002]. Amphetamines combined with other stimulants can substantially increase the risk of dangerous hyperthermia (overheating), rhabdomyolysis (breakdown of muscles), and other related health problems.
Frequency: uncommon.
Certainty: clear causation.

* Death: Usually resuling from cardiac arrest, stroke, or hyperthermia. Acute renal failure associated with rhabdomyolysis, acidosis, and ischemic renal failure also is associated with methamphetamine fatalities. Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation also reported. [Lan 1998].
Frequency: rare.
Certainty: clear causation.

För det första så trippar man inte på amfetamin .. Din jävla färsking!

då ska du väl inte quota mig när jag lmao'ar till det >< ! ^^

Arthur89:

Amfetamin i sig är inte så jävla hälsoskadligt

Båda kommer du att märka om du ögnar igenom listan.

alkohol är inte heller så jävla skadligt, om vi ska bruka din retorik.

Inget är särkilt hälsoskadligt brukat rätt men att säga att amfetamin inte är särkilt hälsoskadligt är att ignorera verkligheten och förlöjliga sig själv.

Pang!

duns..

såja

nej fy fan, jag testar häldre anal sex med en kille än Amfetamin/MetaAmfetamin

haha så nu vet vi vart vi har varanndra:D

zekrish:

Rent ska det vara eller så får det vara

När du säger "rent" vad exakt är det då du menar?

Fast du kanske ÄLSKAR det första, men gillar det andra mycket? Vad vet vi?

Ja grips du med ett gäng gubbar amf så är det kört.
Använder man i eget bruk så kan det ju fucka upp dina leder ordentligt, samt Paranoia. Tur att jag inte kört så mycket på tjacket, alltid kommit över utbankat speed innehållande 50% Dextrosol. Haha tur man har 😀

Tjackballe är det inte alla som får.För mig blir det tvärtom...kan hålla på hur länge som hellst

att det leder till tyngre droger
