Reception of the hair dryer causes a feeling of increased vigor, it relaxes, causes a surge of strength, gives self-confidence, helps to improve mood and reduce appetite. Often, the drug is taken in order to obtain a narcotic effect. It is also often used to temporarily increase productivity. For example, students during a session. Increasing the efficiency of performing familiar actions and the accompanying psycho-emotional state often leads to the continuous use of amphetamine. But, like any other drug, hair dryer has a detrimental effect on the human body. In more detail about the signs and consequences of using a hair dryer through the nose is described in the article.
What it is?
At the moment, hair dryer is the most common type of drug. Not least of all, this is due to the relative simplicity of manufacture. Many components for the preparation of amphetamine are readily available on the market. One of the main dangers of using drugs (hair dryers and others) is that dependence on this type of drug appears faster than with cocaine. And while the psychostimulants in this group have the same properties as cocaine, which is more difficult to get than amphetamine. This type of drug is distributed mainly in clubs, at parties, youth festivals. Dealers operate according to a proven scheme. Basically, the first few doses of the drug are given for free. Thus, a person develops dependence. The myth about the harmlessness of the hair dryer is very popular among young people, although this is fundamentally wrong. No narcotic drug can be harmless, young people are simply misled.
Factors contributing to the development of amphetamine addiction
- Genetic factor. If one of the parents was an alcoholic or drug addict, a person may have a tendency to develop the same type of addiction.
- The social factor. This is the desire to give self-confidence, to improve their communication skills, to integrate into a particular social group. All of these factors can also cause amphetamines.
- Also, a drug is often used as a tool to overcome a stressful situation. Particularly dangerous are frequent neuroses in adolescents, which can be caused by the problem of adaptation in the team, close monitoring by parents.
The consequences of using a hair dryer in the nose
Like any other drug, its regular use has an extremely destructive effect on the body. It causes disturbances both in psychological terms and has a negative effect on the human body. Read more about the consequences after using the hair dryer.
Stimulant psychosis
With frequent drug use, there is a risk of developing stimulatory psychosis. Symptoms of the occurrence of stimulatory psychosis are very diverse. These include true hallucinations. That is, a person sees non-existent images in space, may try to interact with them.
Delusional Disorders
A common symptom is also delusional disorder. Most often, they are expressed in the persecution mania. A person is sure that someone is constantly pursuing and plotting something bad in relation to him. Also quite often a person has a raving relationship. This is a disorder of thinking when a person is confident that others are negative towards him. It seems to him that all the people around are discussing precisely him, and focusing on his shortcomings. And to convince a person of the opposite is almost impossible.
Agitation
Also a frequent sign of hair dryer use is agitation. This is a state of anxiety and longing. Often a person in a state of amphetamine psychosis says something alarming and does not realize the essence of what has been said. Staying in this state, a person loses the ability to think rationally and establish a causal relationship.
Catatonic syndrome
A frequent manifestation of psychosis caused by the use of a hairdryer is catatonic syndrome. This is a psychological disorder characterized by impaired movement. A person can freeze in one pose and stay in it for a long time. Also, catatonic syndrome can be expressed in the form of passive negativism. In this state, a person cannot fulfill even the most simple, elementary requests. Also, a person can make chaotic movements, often dangerous to others or that are dangerous to the same person.
Mental disorders
Also often there is such a consequence of the use of a hairdryer as stimulatory psychosis caused by the use of amphetamines, it is accompanied by the onset of a manic state. Man is characterized by excessive psychomotor agitation, which in turn causes high spirits. This condition is characterized by a very fast speech, during which very fast transitions through associations occur. The human psyche is so dispersed that any word gives rise to a certain association, which in turn leads to the emergence of another association. As a result, a person can talk very quickly, but can not focus on the topic of conversation. It is worth emphasizing that the longer the period of use of amphetamine, the more clearly the above symptoms appear.
All the consequences of using a hair dryer are manifested with prolonged use of amphetamines. But their single use can cause negative consequences. For example, even a single use of the drug can cause epileptic seizures in humans.
Delirium
Also, a single use of the drug can lead to delirium. Symptoms of delirium (delirium tremens) are the occurrence of hallucinations, clouding of consciousness. Man loses the ability to navigate in time and space. It can be aggressive and dangerous to others and yourself. In this condition, a person needs qualified narcological and psychiatric care.
Depression
Depression in a person who uses amphetamine is considered not in the domestic plan, but in a full, that is, psychiatric. First of all, it is caused by withdrawal syndrome. Then a person who has stopped using drugs has a strong longing and an extremely pessimistic view of the world around him is formed.
What triggered the depression yet?
The state of depression also contributes to a lack of good nutrition and sleep. The fact is that amphetamine blocks the desire to sleep and reduces appetite. A similar effect, however, in a much weaker form causes coffee. Indeed, many people drink coffee in the morning, so as not to go sleepy. The same effect is caused by the use of amphetamine. The difference is that the effect of taking amphetamine is much stronger. It is worth noting that often very strong coffee or energy is consumed during withdrawal syndrome, trying to slightly compensate for the lack of amphetamine in the body.
Withdrawal syndrome
A certain time after the cessation of drug use (except for a state of depression), a person has a number of symptoms characteristic of amphetamine withdrawal. The person is tired, tired. Even at the very beginning of the day. Sleep during this period is usually intermittent. A person can often wake up, he has unpleasant disturbing dreams. During this period, a person who decides to quit taking drugs often has memory problems. Even short-term memory loss occurs. It is very difficult for such people to concentrate and focus on something. In general, the quality of life during the period of withdrawal is significantly reduced.
The negative effect of amphetamines on the human body
In addition to the extremely negative impact on the human psyche, the use of amphetamines has a very adverse effect on the body. Like all psychostimulants, hair dryers greatly overload the cardiovascular system. Using a hairdryer can lead to the following consequences:
- Accelerate heart rate and increase blood pressure.
- Hyperthermia, that is, an increase in body temperature. Moreover, the temperature can rise to very high values.
- Renal failure. Due to this disease, the kidneys are no longer able to cope with their functions.
- Cramps.
- Dehydration.
- Nausea and weight loss.
Tolerance
In pharmacology, this term refers to addiction to drugs. The reaction to repeated use of the drug no longer causes the effect that was previously. And as a result, to achieve the desired effect, a person needs to increase dosages. A household example that is familiar to everyone looks like this: a person suffering from alcoholism of the second stage can consume up to one liter of vodka per day, and in general, despite alcohol intoxication, his body will more or less normally tolerate such a dose of alcohol. But a person who does not drink alcohol, such a dose can lead to extremely serious consequences. The reason for everything is the addiction and adaptation of the human body.
But the fact that the drug has ceased to act less effectively does not mean that the harm from its use has decreased. It is noted that in the short term, the effect of taking amphetamine may not bring serious negative consequences to human health. But if a person continues to use drugs, then after a certain time, he will certainly find one of the symptoms that are listed above.
It is especially worth noting the most active drug addicts who use hair dryers for a long period of time. They may experience sensitization. This is the state of the body when it sharply loses resistance to large doses of the drug. This condition is also called reverse tolerance. In this case, a person even from a small dose of a hair dryer may receive an overdose.
All of the above symptoms can be attributed to the main symptoms that are characteristic in most cases when using drugs. But besides them, there are a number of negative effects that the drug has on the human body. In general, everything is individual and depends on the human body.
Intranasal use
Separately, it is worth considering the intranasal method of using a hair dryer, that is, through the nose. It should be noted right away that the risk of dependence on a hair dryer, if used in this way, is higher than if you use pills. Accordingly, the risk of all of the above consequences increases significantly. In addition, most amphetamines contain hazardous impurities. They negatively affect the nasal mucosa, narrow vessels. As a result of which there is severe dryness in the nose, the ability to moisturize the air is lost. And also if you use amphetamine through the nose, various diseases can develop: bronchitis, sinusitis, pneumonia.
People who use drugs are interested in how to fall asleep after using a hair dryer. In fact, this is difficult to do, because all of the above consequences appear.
Drug addiction is extremely dangerous for humans, and at any stage. And this problem can be overcome only with the help of highly qualified specialists.
