About Amphetamine Addiction

Amphetamine addiction, especially addiction to the prescription drugs Ritalin and Adderall and the illicit drug crystal meth, is on the rise. There are many street names for amphetamines including speed, pep pills, rippers, uppers, Benz and more. Amphetamines may be dissolved in water, injected, smoked, snorted or sniffed.

Amphetamine addiction can begin as innocently as a patient receiving a prescription for ADHD or for chronic fatigue disorder, for breathing disorders or weight loss. Once ingested, the patient begins to experience a euphoric sense of relief that the brain seeks to replicate as often as possible. The user quickly develops a tolerance for the drug and requires stronger doses to duplicate the initial high. This is the first sign of amphetamine addiction. Once addicted, the person will be unable to stop using the drug without experiencing amphetamine withdrawal symptoms.

Amphetamine Withdrawal Symptoms

• Excessive sleeping
• Increased appetite
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Cravings
• Agitation
