The Most Common Signs of Adderall Addiction

All man-made drugs contain ingredients that, if consumed over time, can lead to addiction ( see
THE MOST COMMON SIGNS OF ADDERALL ADDICTION )  This is due to the fact that the body isn’t used to absorbing and filtering unnatural ingredients, so when it is consistently exposed to a particular chemical – it will start to try and work around the consumption. One drug in particular has led to an increase in addiction over the past decade and it is most commonly referred to as Adderall.

The drug itself is legal to purchase, or receive via prescription, and it is most commonly used to treat ADHD in young adults and kids, as well as to combat the effects of narcolepsy. The main composition of the drug relies on amphetamine which, when consumed in small doses, can help to stimulate the central nervous system (hence its use to combat narcolepsy).

Unfortunately consistent use of the drug has led to unwanted side effects and in some cases, a user can soon find themselves facing an addiction. Likewise, others that don’t need to orally consume the drug for medical purposes can still get hold of the narcotic – and once crushed, the composition can lead to a method of consumption similar to cocaine; snorting.

Why is snorting so dangerous?

The nasal passage is lined with thousands of tiny capillaries, each of which connect directly to the brain. When snorting any chemical, particular one intended for oral ingestion, the drug will take almost immediate effect. This is what makes Adderall so appealing to those seeking an instant high – but the way in which they achieve this can be very dangerous, especially as the narcotic will take a toll on the thought processes associated with the brain.

What are the signs of addiction?

There are several signs of Adderall addiction and these can include:

• Consistent use
• Un-prescribed ingestion
• Mood swings
• Irritability
• Potentially dangerous acts
• A lack of self-awareness

Although these symptoms can also be applied to a range of other conditions; many of which are medical in nature, if a person sees someone snorting Adderall, then they may already be in the process of developing an addiction (or they might be dealing with one). In these cases, it’s best to seek medical and psychological help as soon as possible.

If the drug is being abused daily, then the risks associated with blood clots and other potentially fatal occurrences will be increased by several times. Furthermore, if a person is snorting the drug consistently the chemical properties within amphetamine will also be acting to destroy brain cells, whilst misleading the body into thinking that the toxic properties are a necessity in order to maintain functionality.

In all cases it’s best to find help from a local GP, or by getting in touch with a drug rehab centre. Both options are a good way to provide treatment solutions – without them, it’s not unheard of for the abuse to end up being fatal.
