What are the health risks of using amphetamines?
Amphetamines are central nervous system stimulants which tend to throw off the body’s rest and repair system. Hyperactivity and mental anxiety are common. Repeated high dosage results in lethargy, exhaustion, mental confusion, and paranoia. Abnormal uncoordinated movements may persist long after chronic stimulant use stops. These can be accompanied by emotionalism which can be manifested in the form of hallucinations and, finally, blood pressure and heart problems. Abuse can lead to physical problems such as heart attacks and strokes.
