Amphetamines also known as "speed"

Amphetamine addiction Amphetamines or stimulates have been used for years, both legally and illegally, for everything from weight loss to keeping truckers wake on the road to treating ADAH in children. Amphetamines, like Aderol and Ritalin are finding their way into the mainstream populace either by over prescription or forged prescription papers.

Amphetamine treatment Repeated use increases an individual's tolerance to amphetamines. As tolerance builds, more of the drug is needed to achieve a desired effect by the user. Classic signs of addiction are present with amphetamine use. When the drug is stopped, withdrawal symptoms appear. Detox and drug counseling/treatment can make a difference for the amphetamine addict.
