What are potential negative consequences from using study drugs?
All drugs, including medications, change body chemistry. Medications, particularly prescription medications, are tailored to an individual using calculations based on their age, height, weight, current ailment, past medical history, and other drugs currently used. Because different doses of drugs will affect people in different ways, there could be negative consequences from abusing these drugs. It is possible for people to become physically and psychologically dependent upon or addicted to these stimulants. Users may experience withdrawal symptoms if they stop using the drugs after several weeks of repeated use. Other potential consequences include: feelings of hostility or paranoia after repeated use, dangerously high body temperature, irregular heartbeat, cardiovascular failure or lethal seizures.
