As the effects of the stimulants begin to wear off, you may experience a level of fatigue that is worse than when you first took the stimulant.

The long-term health effects of taking stimulants:

-Impotence

-High blood pressure

-Heart failure

-Chronic sleep problems

-Extreme mood swings

-Compulsive repetition of actions

-Paranoia/ anxiety/ depression/ irritability/ suspiciousness

-Weight loss

-Panic attacks/seizures

Users sometimes take other drugs to cope with the undesirable effects of stimulants. This can lead to a 'roller coaster' dependence on a range of drugs. Some people might take stimulants to combat the effects of fatigue and then take depressants to help them sleep at night. This type of dependence can lead to a variety of serious physical and psychological problems.
