Methamphetamine 2
Defination
Methamphetamine is a powerful stimulant that activates certain systems in the brain.It is closely related chemically to amphetamine but the central nervous system effects of methamphetamine are greater.Both drugs have some medical uses primarily in the treatment of obesity but their therapeutic use is limited.The central nervous system actions that result from taking even small amounts of methamphetamine include increased wakefulness and increased physical your activity.Also decreased appetite,increased respiration,hypethermia and euphoria.Other CNS effects include irritability,insomnia,confusion,tremors,convulsions,anxiety, paranoia and aggressiveness.The result of Hyperthermia and convulsions is death.Methamphetamine enters the brain and triggers a cascading release of dopamine,serotonin and norepinephrine.It is highly active in the mesolimbic reward pathways of the brain inducing intense euphoria with risks for addiction.To a lesser extent methamphetamine acts as a dopaminergic and adrenergic reuptake inhibitor with high concentrations serving as a monoamine oxidase inhibitor.Many users may become hypersexual or obsessed with a task thought or activity.Withdrawal is characterized by excessive sleeping,eating and major depression often accompanied craving. Methamphetamine users may take sedatives such as benzodiazepines as a means of easing their "come down"anxiety or enable them to sleep.
Leito's personal knowledge about methamphetamine
Hello friends as you know methamphetamine is very addictive stimulant drug that affects the central nervous system and also the brain.It is a Schedule II stimulant which means it has a high potential for abuse and is available only through a prescription that cannot be refilled.Its medical uses are limited and the doses prescribed are much lower than those typically abused.Most of the methamphetamine abused in this country comes from foreign or domestic superlabs although it can also be made in small illegal laboratories where its production endangers the people in the labs,neighbors and the environment.
IF METHAMPHETAMINE AFFECTS YOUR BRAIN(WHAT YOU DO)
Methamphetamine increases the release of very high levels of the brain chemical dopamine which is involved in motivation of the experience of pleasure and motor function which is a common mechanism of action for most drugs of abuse.Chronic methamphetamine abuse significantly changes how the brain functions.Noninvasive human brain imaging studies have shown alterations in the activity of the dopamine system that are associated with reduced motor performance and impaired verbal learning.Recent studies in chronic methamphetamine abusers have also revealed severe structural and functional changes in areas of the brain associated with emotion and memory which may your account for many of the emotional and cognitive problems observed in chronic methamphetamine abusers.In long term methamphetamine abuse can also lead to addiction a chronic and relapsing disease.These are characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use or accompanied by chemical and molecular changes in the brain.Some of these changes persist long after methamphetamine abuse is stopped and some reverse after sustained periods of abstinence (2-6 years).So its dont take best in man or woman of life.Stay away form drugs.(Its my personal advice)
