Amphetamines

Amphetamines are a central nervous system stimulant. It stimulates the body by triggering certain chemicals in your brain. These nerves prove to make hyperactivity and impulse control worse.

Like any other drug on the market, prescribed or over the counter it carries with it many side effects. Some of these side effects show up immediately, and some side effects show up weeks, months, and even years later.

Amphetamines, considered a dangerous drug affects all your vital organs, the brain, heart, liver, kidneys, thyroid, and can cause sudden death.

Parkinson’s Disease

Know that Parkinson’s disease is chronic (ongoing) and gets progressively worse. This disease is a movement disorder with no known cure at this time. All you and your doctor can do is try to manage the effects of this illness through medication or surgery. According to long known news reports, Michael Fox has Parkinson’s disease.

Research finds that this illness short circuits vital nerve cells (neurons) in the brain. The study concluded that when these nerve cells die, they release a chemical in the brain called dopamine. Dopamine, typically released in the brain, assists in the sending of messages to the body affecting your movement and coordination.

Dopamine is what helps you get through your day as you utilize thousands of various voluntary actions that you do not give a second thought. When you have Parkinson’s the dopamine in the brain gradually starts to decrease, and you find you can no long control these everyday movements at an average level.

As your Parkinson’s Disease progresses, you experience some effects of this insidious disease. Everyone is different, and Parkinson’s affects each person differently. You may have one or all of the following. These effects may be severe or minor.

  • Tremors in the hands, jaw, face, arms, and legs
  • Your movements become slow in motion
  • Much of your body becomes stiff
  • You lose your balance and coordination
  • Possible gastrointestinal symptoms
  • Potential loss of sensory factors such as smell
  • Sleep disturbances

Amphetamines, Methamphetamines, Street Drugs, and Alcohol

New medical research finds that amphetamines trigger an addictive response in many people when this drug is taken long-term in excessive amounts.

Amphetamines target brain activity sector responsible for triggering a feeling of pleasure thus spawns feelings of euphoria even when doing everyday and basic daily living tasks such as eating. The constant level of happiness produces definitive brain changes.

People, in general, like to feel healthy, happy, and find pleasure in their day. However, these strange and ongoing feelings lead to substance abuse due to brain changes causing repeated sense of euphoria.

The research concludes that this constant euphoria alters the chemical in the brain called dopamine, responsible for voluntary body movements.

If you are taking amphetamines, you can develop symptoms of uncontrolled addiction, thus developing a stimulant use disorder.

Parkinson’s disease happens when the brain chemical, dopamine starts to decrease. Dopamine is the same chemical controlling your natural voluntary movements there are two known reasons why you may develop this disease.

  • DNA or genetic mutation in its rarest form
  • Exposure to environmental toxins

Researchers find, after an extensive survey, including hundreds of drug and alcohol abusers, amphetamine users, and those people who took neither, that those who took these drugs had a 200% increased risk of developing Parkinson’s Disease. Surprisingly, this study showed that women had a 400% increased risk of developing Parkinson’s Disease, and it was not determined as yet why this huge increased risk for the women populace.

This study was conclusive enough to say that methamphetamine and amphetamine abuse was enough to raise risks for people developing Parkinson’s syndrome.
