Often when people are diagnosed with ADHD they are prescribed amphetamines which are stimulants that quicken vital parts of the body, and since people with ADHD already have hyper activity in their brain it often counters it and equal it out. ADHD often becomes noticeable in young child and most of the time the symptoms start to improve as they get older but yet there are times that the disorder continues to make a person unable to focus very well. In order to control these focusing issues patients take amphetamines in order to stimulate their brain. This stimulant can come in different forms and are for a daily use to keep the patient more calm than normal. Many who take these stimulants go through psychotherapy incase the drug has any other effects on them, they talk about their self-esteem, focus on their social interactions, and their thinking ability. While some use amphetamines for their health others end up abusing these prescription stimulants.

An increasing number of people in the world are starting to abuse prescription drugs in order to do what they believe will improve their earning and it is called cognitive enhancement. The belief is that it will help people to improve their grades in school but it really doesn’t do much. Stimulants do make you more aware of what is going on but when it comes to improving your grades it has been found to do the opposite. Often students who take stimulants have lower grades than those who don’t, making it not worth your while to take them to begin with.

Most people who end up abusing stimulants end up not being able to sleep, not have an appetite, and for the benefit of being able to focus, but often when these are abused it is for purposes such as weight loss and performance enhancement. In order for someone to get the result they want while abusing these drugs they either take a higher dosage than they were prescribed or they take them without a prescription. Some take these stimulants to enhance their life but others do it for the euphoria, the pills are crushed, snorted, or even put in water to inject. The stimulants effect the brain by increasing the levels of dopamine to increase pleasure, movement, and attention. Doctors prescribe the stimulant low at first then increases the dosage slowly to make the process seem more natural. When abused though these stimulants can be taken at a high dosage and can even lead to addiction. An addiction to these prescription drugs can be an issue especially if you don’t know the other side effects of the stimulants. These can increase your heart rate, body temperature, blood pressure, and can decrease your ability to sleep and your appetite. The risks of it can be even worse with having heart problems, strokes, hostility, and paranoia. To avoid these risks and other effects its best to use the stimulants as they were prescribed because if you don’t it will lead to addiction which can be hard to ease yourself off of.
