Prolonged Amphetamine Use: (What nobody talks about ..)

Synthetic Motivation:

After taking amphetamine for a long time, the effect becomes less and less apparent until you have to go back the doctor for a higher dosage. You get the higher dosage and it works for awhile, but now you can't sleep, and you're getting very impatient with the world around you when you start crashing, so the Doctor trys prescribing you Xanax to calm your withdrawal. So now you find yourself on 2 drugs, and you now need 3x the amphetamine you originally needed to get the same "buzz" effect as before. The effect that in your mind, makes you a social genius, a academic mastermind, someone without a care in the world...at least..for a moment. So after the doctor turns you down for a bigger prescription (because he doesnt want your heart to explode) you begin snorting the drug. Crushing or emptying the pill onto a table, rolling up your dollar bill, exhaling as deep as possible and...you get the picture. Until one day, with your eyes in a book, your nose begins to bleed... this has never happened before..

You freak out- You can't tell anyone or they'll know you've been abusing your medicine. You decide to quit using all together. You try to calm your vice with Alcohol and Marijuana. But your motivation is completely lost. The long term effects of amphetamine that nobody tells you about it your complete loss of all ambition. Your brain had slowly been conditioning to work under synthetic motivation, and now that you've stopped taking your brain food, you're unable to complete simple tasks, and perceive completion of simple projects. You become a complete procrastinator, locked in your room, watching television, crying about where life has taken you..blaming others..even your doctors..when in reality, you 've got only yourself to blame.

So- is amphetamine a bad thing? Not if taken moderately. However, prescribing amphetamine to someone is the same as drug dealing, it's easy money for your doctor. Meet your new drug dealer, Dr. "yourlifeisoverand yourmoney'smineNow"

It's also an easy way to get kids to shutup- there are parents out there who'll gladly agree and don't even question a doctor/teachers recommendation to have their child placed on these drugs and given at lunchtime, and sometimes twice a day. To these kids, every day is like their going to an amusement park, but it won't last. These children unfortunately grow up with horrible problems. Especially when they stop using these drugs.
