Food Addiction with Nicotine, Marijuana & other Drugs
Food Addiction and Drugs
It is common to find people with food or
eating addictions struggling with drug addiction issues as well.
Below is a list of drugs, etc. that many struggle with...
OTHER DRUGS
1. Barbiturates are derivatives of ‘barbituric’ acid that
trigger an initial period of excitement followed by
slurred speech, loss of coordination, severe depression,
and impairment of thinking and memory. Some tranquilizers
act like barbiturates and can cause physical and
psychological dependence and serious withdrawal symptoms.
2. The opioids (sometimes called narcotics) include
both naturally occurring and synthetic substances. Several
forms of opioids, known as endorphins, are manufactured
by the brain and the pituitary gland. Opiates
are opioids that are derived from the juice of the opium
poppy. Their most important active ingredient is morphine,
which is used primarily as a painkiller. Heroin
was originally used as a substitute for morphine, but
today it is involved in the vast majority of narcotic addiction
cases.
3. The opioids cause mood changes, sleepiness, mental
clouding, and other physical effects. An overdose may
cause death due to cessation of breathing. Withdrawal
symptoms include sweating, muscle pains,
nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
4. According to the exposure orientation, the cause of
opioid addiction is exposure to the drugs . The adaptive
orientation considers both the person and the situation
to be important factors in the development of addiction.
The available evidence is consistent with the latter orientation.
The most widely used treatment for opioid addicts
is methadone maintenance, which involves substituting
another drug that does not produce the
euphoria that accompanies heroin use but relieves the
craving for heroin.
5. Cocaine is derived from the leaves of the coca bush.
Its effects include increased heart rate, blood pressure,
and body temperature and decreased appetite, together
with feelings of wittiness and hyper-alertness, High
doses can produce a state resembling mania and sometimes
cause strokes. Since cocaine is one of the most
powerful drug reinforces, desire for it is hard to control.
Treatment of cocaine abuse requires that the abuser
be convinced that treatment is necessary
.
6. Amphetamines are potent psycho-motor stimulants
whose use results in increased wakefulness, alertness,
and elevation of mood. High doses lead to nervousness,
headache, dizziness, agitation, and other symptoms.
Regular use of large amounts causes users to become
malnourished, exhausted, careless, and indifferent to
normal responsibilities.
7. Psychedelics or hallucinogens act on the central
nervous system to produce alteration of consciousness.
They change the user's perceptions of both the internal
and the external world. The most frequently used psychedelic
drug is LSD (dieIysergic acid diethylamide). Treatment
for abuse of psychedelics depends on the severity
of the reaction; severely affected people must have medical
attention to prevent cardiovascular or respiratory
collapse.
8. Phencyclidine or PCP is a dissociative anesthetic
that causes the user to feel dissociated from the environment.
Users sometimes lose the ability to test reality and
suffer severe intellectual and emotional disorganization.
Many PCP deaths are not due to overdose but are direct
results of homicide, suicide, or accidents.
9. Marijuana, the dried leaves and flower tops of the
cannabis plant, is the most commonly used illegal drug
in the United States. It is not pharmacologically a narcotic,
although it has similar psychological effects. The
effects of marijuana use on health are unclear, but there
is no doubt that it impairs motor coordination and perception,
short-term memory, and learning.
10. Nicotine is contained in tobacco smoke. Smoking
is believed to be physically hazardous; however, it is extremely
difficult for users to give up the habit. Therapeutic
efforts to help people stop smoking take several
forms, including the substitution of nicotine gum, the
use of cognitive techniques, and rapid smoking, in
which the subject smokes cigarettes at such a high frequency
that the desire to smoke decreases.
