What are the symptoms of drug addicts?

Drug abuse is not only harmful to the drug addicts themselves, but also has a very negative impact on the family and society. Therefore, we must pay attention to learn more about common sense about drug control and stay away from drugs. Drug addicts often show symptoms such as runny nose, pain, itching, yawning, pain in the limbs, or nausea and diarrhea, hallucinations, etc.

1. Different types of drug use will cause different symptoms. For example, after smoking or injecting heroin, the entire body, head, and nerves will quickly produce an explosive sense of pleasure. Then, within two or three hours, the user will be immersed in a semi-anesthetized state, and the pleasure will quickly disappear. After smoking heroin for the second time, in most cases, people will become addicted because they have adapted to the drug, thus developing physical and psychological dependence. Long-term heroin users, under the influence of drugs, will appear drowsy, indifferent to the things around them, unwilling to socialize, lack interest, often sit staring at the sky with no expression, with cloudy eyes and needle-shaped pupils. When it is close to the next injection or smoking, the symptoms of stopping smoking will make them quite uncomfortable. Mild symptoms include tears in the eyes, runny nose, pain, itching, yawning, goose bumps, hot and cold sensations, dilated pupils, irritability and nervousness; severe cases include insomnia, sweating, pain in the limbs, nausea and diarrhea.

2. After taking methamphetamine, you will be in a state of intense excitement, which is manifested as : not eating or sleeping, excessive activity, emotional impulse, unreasonableness, paranoia, delusion, hallucinations, agitation and violent tendencies. Overdose of amphetamine can cause acute poisoning, which is usually manifested as restlessness, dizziness, tremors, hyperreflexia, talkativeness, irritability, restlessness, paranoid hallucinations or panic state. Some people may develop suicidal or homicidal tendencies. Cardiovascular disease symptoms such as headache, chills, pale or flushed complexion, palpitations, arrhythmia, angina pectoris, high blood pressure, low blood pressure or circulatory collapse may occur; gastrointestinal dysfunction such as dry mouth, metallic taste in the mouth, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps may also occur; severe cases may cause convulsions, cerebral hemorrhage, coma and death. Chronic poisoning can cause weight loss and mental abnormalities (i.e., amphetamine psychosis, or delusional disorder, with hallucinations and delusions, similar to paranoid schizophrenia).

3. The personality traits of drug abusers show that they have no opinions, weak will, lack of self-confidence and self-esteem, often need others to make decisions for them, are easily seduced by others, have poor self-control, self-confidence and low self-efficacy. The use and abuse of drugs is due to certain abnormal, flawed or incomplete personality traits of the drug abuser himself. There are many of these incomplete characteristics, such as lack of responsibility, lack of independence, poor ability to delay gratification, and weak self-control.
