Adicción a los estimulantes

What is a stimulant?

A stimulant is a type of drug that increases activity in the brain and central nervous system, leading to heightened alertness, increased energy, and a feeling of euphoria. Stimulants speed up the communication between the brain and the body, enhancing mental focus and physical activity. These drugs are commonly used to treat medical conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy, as they can help increase attention, concentration, and energy levels.

Por qué are stimulants usually only available by p¿Rescripción?

Stimulants are usually prescribed for specific medical conditions under the supervision of a healthcare professional, in the UK specifically a psychiatrist, due to their potent effects on the brain and body. When used improperly or without medical supervision, these drugs can cause serious physical and mental health issues. Prescription regulation ensures that stimulants are taken in controlled, therapeutic doses and helps to mitigate the risk of abuse and addiction.

Types of stimulants

Prescription stimulants: These are commonly used to treat conditions like ADHD and narcolepsy.

o Amphetamines: Such as Adderall or Dexedrine.
o Methylphenidates: Such as Ritalin or Concerta.

Ilícito stimulants: These are illegal drugs known for their highly addictive nature.

o Cocaína.
o Methamphetamine (Meth).

Otros types:

o Ecstasy (MDMA): A stimulant with hallucinogenic properties, often used recreationally.

Stimulants; also known as – uppers, pep pills or speed; come in various forms – legal or prescription stimulants are generally in a tablet or capsule form; whilst illicit stimulants puede appear as a pill, powder, small chunky clear crystals, or a white or brownish crystal-like powder with a strong smell and bitter taste.

 

Son stimulants a¿Dictivo?

Stimulants can be highly addictive, particularly when misused or taken in higher-than-prescribed doses. Their addictive potential arises from the intense euphoria and increased energy they provide, which can lead individuals to take more of the drug to maintain these effects. Repeated use can cause the brain to become dependent on the drug for functioning, resulting in addiction.

 

Are there withdrawal symptoms with stimulants?

Withdrawal symptoms are common with stimulant use, especially when someone has developed a dependence or addiction to these drugs. Stimulant withdrawal occurs when a person who has been regularly using stimulants suddenly stops or significantly reduces their intake. Withdrawal can be both physically and psychologically challenging due to the body’s adaptation to the drug’s effects.

Withdrawal symptoms can include extreme fatigue, depression, increased appetite, anxiety and agitation, disturbed sleep, poor concentration and cognitive impairment. Headaches, muscle aches, and flu-like symptoms can also accompany stimulant withdrawal. Whilst not en general as intense as those associated with some other drugs (like opioids), these physical discomforts can still be significant, every person will feel them differently, and the use of other drugs, including alcohol, can also impact upon withdrawal.

In some cases, individuals may experience hallucinations, paranoia and panic; and for some the intense feelings of depression can lead to suicidal thoughts or self-harming.

What happens if you mix stimulants with other drugs?

Mixing stimulants with other drugs can be highly dangerous and increase the risk of severe health complications, including overdose, organ damage, or even death. The effects vary depending on the specific substances involved, but generally, combining stimulants with other drugs can amplify or mask the effects of both, leading to unpredictable and often harmful outcomes.

 Qué happens when stimulants are mixed with other drugs?

Stimulants and depressants.

- Example: Mixing stimulants (e.g., cocaine, Adderall) with depressants like alcohol, benzodiazepines (e.g., Valium, Xanax), or opioids (e.g., heroin, oxycodone).

Effects:

- Masking efectos: Stimulants speed up the central nervous system, while depressants slow it down. The stimulant may mask the sedative effects of the depressant, making it difficult to gauge how impaired or intoxicated you are. This can lead to taking dangerous doses of both substances.
- Aumento de risk of overdose: For example, alcohol can mask the effects of a stimulant, causing individuals to drink more or use higher doses of both substances. This can lead to alcohol poisoning or stimulant overdose.
- Heart strain: Mixing these opposing types of drugs puts significant strain on the heart, increasing the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and arrhythmias.

Stimulants and other stimulants.

- Example: Combining multiple stimulants, such as mixing cocaine with methamphetamine or combining prescription stimulants like Adderall with caffeine or energy drinks.

Effects:

- Intensified efectos: Mixing stimulants intensifies their effects, leading to heightened alertness, euphoria, and energy. However, this also dramatically increases the risk of harmful effects such as severe anxiety, paranoia, and aggression.
- Cardiovascular riscos: Elevated blood pressure, rapid heart rate, and increased risk of heart attacks, strokes, or sudden death due to overloading the heart and cardiovascular system.
- Seizures: Excessive stimulation of the brain can lead to seizures, which may be life-threatening.

Stimulants and hallucinogens.

- Example: Mixing stimulants like MDMA (Ecstasy) or amphetamines with hallucinogens such as LSD, psilocybin, or ketamine.

Effects:

- Imprevisible comportamiento: The combination can lead to erratic, dangerous, or aggressive comportamiento. The stimulating effects may worsen anxiety or paranoia, common with hallucinogens.
- Psychosis: There is a heightened risk of psychosis, particularly for those with a history of mental illness or drug-induced psychosis. This can include delusions, hallucinations, and loss of touch with reality.
- Serotonin syndrome: If mixing MDMA or other serotonin-boosting stimulants with certain hallucinogens, there is a risk of serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when too much serotonin builds up in the brain, causing confusion, rapid heart rate, high blood pressure, fever, and seizures.

Stimulants and opioides.

- Example: Combining stimulants like cocaine with opioids such as heroin or fentanyl, commonly referred to as a “speedball.”

Effects:

- Masking efectos: The stimulant can mask the sedative effects of the opioid, making it difficult to judge how much of either substance has been taken. This increases the risk of opioid overdose, as the depressant effects may not be felt until it’s too late.
- Respiratory failure: The stimulant may keep the user awake and active, but once the stimulant wears off, the depressant effects of the opioid can cause breathing to slow or stop, leading to death.
- Heart and respiratory strain: Combining these drugs puts immense pressure on both the heart and lungs, dramatically increasing the risk of sudden death, heart attack, or respiratory failure.

Stimulants and marijuana.

- Example: Mixing stimulants like Adderall or cocaine with marijuana.

Effects:

- Aumento de heart rate and anxiety: Both drugs can elevate heart rate and, in some cases, exacerbate anxiety or paranoia. Combining them can result in increased panic, agitation, or psychological distress.
- Impaired judgment: Marijuana may dull the stimulant’s perceived effects, leading to poor decision-making or risky comportamiento.
- Confusion and disorientation: Stimulants speed up mental processes, while marijuana can slow them down, potentially leading to confusion or disorganized thoughts.

Addiction and dependence: Combining drugs often increases the likelihood of developing both physical dependence and psychological addiction, as the user may become reliant on both substances to achieve desired effects or avoid withdrawal symptoms.

It’s crucial to avoid combining stimulants with other substances, and if stimulant abuse or polysubstance use is present, seeking professional treatment is essential for managing risks and achieving recovery.

Mi vida es mucho mejor de lo que era antes de venir y definitivamente soy una mejor versión de mí misma ahora.

Testimonios

Mi hijo asistió a dos centros de rehabilitación antes de ir a Ibiza Calm. Ibiza Calm, sin embargo, era exactamente lo que decía ser. Trabajaron con mi hijo como un aliado vital en su proceso de recuperación, no como una persona a la que hay que romper y arreglar de acuerdo con un régimen establecido, a la que se culparía y avergonzaría si no respondía adecuadamente al protocolo y al programa de tratamiento del centro. El terapeuta asignado a mi hijo encontró el equilibrio adecuado entre permitirle avanzar a un ritmo en el que se sintiera cómodo y presionarle para que mantuviera un ritmo exigente de autodescubrimiento y recuperación. Mi hijo ha salido de este tratamiento tranquilo y consciente de sí mismo; mientras que terminó los otros programas enfadado e incluso traumatizado. Mi hijo sólo ha estado 6 semanas fuera de Ibiza Calm, así que el éxito a largo plazo para mantenerse sobrio está por ver, pero el cambio en su actitud y comportamiento es tan profundo que tengo grandes esperanzas para el futuro por primera vez en años. Recomiendo Ibiza Calm sin reservas, más bien con una gratitud abrumadora.
