| | Amphetamine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Tolerance is developed rapidly in amphetamine use, therefore increasing amount of the drug that is needed to satisfy the addiction. | | | Due to the widespread use of amphetamines as a treatment for ADD/ADHD in the USA, Canada, and other countries, they frequently find their way onto the street and are one of the most frequently-abused drugs in high schools and colleges. | | | Amphetamine is highly-psychologically addictive, and, with chronic use, tolerance develops very quickly. |

| | Chronic Amphetamine Use and Abuse |
| | Hallucinations are frequently described in chronic amphetamine abusers; the incidence is upwards of 81% (32) and 83% (108). | | | In fact, conditioning of ongoing behavior at the time of the initial reinforcing effects of amphetamine can literally provide the basis for accidental conditioning of this behavior, as well as later remnants of this behavior found in chronically treated animals (57). | | | By far, the best documented psychopathological response to chronic amphetamine stimulants is a paranoid schizophrenia-like psychosis in a setting of clear consciousness, in which formal aspects of thought were relatively intact but delusions and hallucinations evoked intense emotions, including intense fear (7, 16, 32, 60, 234). |

| | Amphetamines may alter other neural functions such as complex behavioral and learning patternings; this may be important for understanding effects of amphetamine use during pregnancy. | | | The phenylethylamine structure of amphetamines (see Image 1) is similar to catecholaminergic, dopaminergic, and serotonergic agonists (biogenic amines), which may explain their actions. | | | Alpha-adrenergic antagonists specifically may be used to treat severe headache, SAH, cardiac ischemia, and hypertension associated with amphetamines. |

| | Is the Prescription of Amphetamine Justified as a Harm Reduction Measure |
| | During recent years amphetamine use has become part of the ‘dance drug&; phenomenon, the use of stimulant and hallucinogenic drugs on a recreational basis to enhance the experience of energetic dancing at clubs and parties (Newcombe,1992). | | | One particular area of behaviour in which we found little change or improvement was that of sexual practices: the majority of our subjects stated they did not use condoms and only one subject had increased his use of condoms. | | | For those patients who are motivated to make changes we have a ceiling of 60mg of dexamphetamine for a short period and more intensive and focused group therapy. |

| | Delinquency, truancy, educational failure, early use of drugs and alcohol, oppositional behavior associated with conduct disorder, and participation in the rave party scene are developmental behaviors that suggest an amphetamine-related psychiatric disorder. | | | Clinically significant maladaptive behavioral or psychological changes developed during or shortly after the patient used amphetamines or a related substance. | | | Typical antipsychotics should be used for acute stabilization with the intention of switching to an atypical antipsychotic drug (eg, risperidone, quetiapine, olanzapine, aripiprazole, and ziprasidone) for long-term use. |
