Whizz (Speed)
“Whizz” is a colloquial term used to refer to the drug amphetamine, particularly in the form of amphetamine sulphate. Amphetamine is a central nervous system stimulant that increases levels of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin in the brain.
Amphetamine, often referred to as “speed,” is known for its stimulant effects, including increased energy, alertness, and focus. It can also decrease appetite and produce a sense of euphoria. Amphetamine is commonly used as a recreational drug and has a potential for abuse and addiction.
However, it is important to note that the use of amphetamine without a prescription or medical supervision is illegal in most countries due to its classification as a controlled substance. It is often associated with various health risks and potential adverse effects.
Some of the short-term effects of amphetamine use can include increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, decreased sleep, irritability, anxiety, and paranoia. Long-term use can lead to physical and psychological dependence, cardiovascular problems, malnutrition, insomnia, and mental health issues.
If you or someone you know is struggling with substance abuse or addiction related to amphetamine or any other drugs, it is important to seek help from a healthcare professional, addiction specialist, or a local support service. They can provide appropriate guidance, support, and treatment options.
