Specific Drugs and Their Effects:
Stimulants can cause increased heart and respiratory rates, elevated blood pressure, dilated pupils and decreased appetite.  In addition, users may experience sweating, headache, blurred vision, dizziness, sleeplessness and anxiety.  Extremely high doses can cause a rapid or irregular heartbeat, tremors, loss of coordination and even physical collapse.  An amphetamine injection creates a sudden increase in blood pressure that can result in stroke, very high fever or heart failure.

In addition to the physical effects, users report feeling restless, anxious and moody.   Higher doses intensify the effects.  Persons who use large amounts of amphetamines over a long period of time can develop an amphetamine psychosis that includes hallucinations, delusions and paranoia.  These symptoms usually disappear when drug use ceases.
