Understanding ADHD
Desoxyn and ADHD have a closed relationship with one another. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a chronic behavioral disorder. While it is commonly associated with children, the disorder affects a large number of adults as well. ADHD affects approximately eight million American adults, according to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 6.4 million children were affected by it in 2011.
The first case of ADHD Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a chronic behavioral disorder that was reported in 1902, but no proper studies were conducted for Desoxyn. People got the awareness of this disorder in 1990 and 2000. After that, several research studies were carried out for the diagnosis and treatment of this issue. Although another theory about over-diagnosis also prevails but this theory is still unproven.
Studies also showed that this mental disorder has ties to genetics. Everyday Health tells that this disease may be passing from parents to their next generations without the use of Desoxyn. Although this transmission from parents to their children is just 50%, it is still very high. The gender of the newborn baby also has a significant impact on the genetic transmission of this disease. It was observed that male babies (boys) are more likely to carry the disorder than female babies (girls).
Symptoms of This Disorder May Include:
- Speaking more, listening less
- Loss of patience
- Difficulty in standing or sitting for a long time
- Struggling to wait for speaking in a conversation
In the recent past, ADHD and attention deficit disorder were thought to be two different disorders. But latest studies proved that these both are one disorder. These are now considered as two different subtypes treated with Desoxyn. Some people suffer from the hyperactive-impulsive type of disorder while others may face the other type called the inattentive type. ADHD may combine with these disorders and result in common symptoms.
People Suffering from Inattentive Type Disorder May Exhibit Some of The Following Symptoms:
- They are easy to distract
- They shift from one task to another without completing the previous task
- They rapidly become bored
- They face difficulties in following the proper set of instructions about a specific task
- They may face disorganization
- They are careless and make mistakes
- They are daydreamers
Treatment of ADHD
Hence ADHD is a central nervous system disease, so different types of drugs were tested to cure the disorder. Several central nervous system stimulants were put to experiments in this regard. Among all, methamphetamine chloride was found to be most effective in treating ADHD. It is a central nervous system stimulant drug. This drug was found effective in all types of this disorder. It acts to calm the symptoms possessed by the patients of ADHD. The Food and Drug Administration finally approved this drug in 2010. It is now the most commonly used drug in America to treat ADHD-related symptoms.
Desoxyn is the most used brand of methamphetamine chloride.
Systematic studies were carried out to know the mode of action of methamphetamine chloride, Desoxyn. It was commonly reported that the drug acts by increasing the amount of norepinephrine and dopamine. These are the chemicals used within the body to be sent between the central nervous system’s neurons. It results in increase co-ordination within the central nervous system. As a result of this Desoxyn, the patient can better focus on the given tasks.
The Drug Enforcement Administration’s Office of Diversion Control reports that were issued in 2012 depicted that nearly 16,000 were filled for Desoxyn in that year only.
Abusive Use of Desoxyn
Studies showed that all drugs that stimulate the central nervous system are addictive. The use of these drugs may cause addiction of these drugs. So, Desoxyn is not recommended to use without the prescription of a qualified practitioner. Adderall is a well-recognized stimulant that is known for its abuse potential stimulant drug, found addictive and known for its widespread abusive use. Adderall is also used to treat ADHD because of its ability to stimulate the central nervous system. But, Desoxyn is also found addictive when used for more extended periods. Studies reported that Desoxyn was found more addictive when studied comparatively with Adderall. That’s a pretty impressive reason for Adderall to be used as the first drug of choice for ADHD. If Adderall is found ineffective in any case, then Desoxyn is prescribed as a 2nd and more healthy option. The much higher cost of the drug than other options is also a reason for the lesser prescription of Desoxyn.
Signs of Desoxyn Abuse
Abusive Use of Desoxyn may Cause One or More of The Following Problems in Users:
- Brain tremors
- Restless condition
- Twitching of the limbs
- Aggressiveness in mood
- Increased heartbeat
- Hallucinations
- Muscle pain
- Extremities swollen

Who Is Going to Do This?
ADHD may be more common among substance abusers in general. Addiction to abusive drugs causes like Desoxyn not only severe physical health issues but also several mental disorders. ADHD is one of the common mental disorders reported in addictive people. A terrible reality about ADHD prevalence in addictive persons was mentioned in the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism reports. They said, about 25% of addictive people were also found to have ADHD disorder and Desoxyn consumption. This high number marks a great reason involved in the development of ADHD in the population.
Although all drugs are used to treat some disease issues and prescribed by qualified physicians, they are not 100% safe. It mainly occurs when we use higher doses of Desoxyn than recommended or use them for a more extended period. Teenagers are at a specific risk of abuse of prescription pills such as Desoxyn. That’s why they are at higher risk of being addicted to these drugs. The abusive use of such drugs is increasing in our young generation. Sale or purchase of these drugs is prohibited without showing the prescription of a qualified medical practitioner. But these drugs Desoxyn are very readily available to teenagers and even sold through online stores as per the Office of National Drug Control Policy. The number of people aged 12 or above and using methamphetamine chloride as addiction has increased up to 11.9 million (Journal of Addictive Behavior). This vast population, 11.9 million, has no prescription and even no medical need for this drug.
Addictive parents are also a factor that enhances the chances of addiction in their next generation. Children of addictive parents have a predisposition to the drugs and may develop mental health issues. Chances of mental illness such as ADHD increase when a pregnant female is abusively using addictive drugs like Desoxyn. Children of such mothers may develop permanent mental disorders. It was reported in a study of the London Journal of Primary Care that the risk for children to perceive mental disorders increases more than two folds in addictive parents. During this study mental health of children was compared from both addictive and non-addictive parents.
Methamphetamine chloride, Desoxyn also have a significant influence on our digestive system. It has the ability to suppress appetite. That’s why it plays the role of decreasing obesity and also has the approval to use such cases. Some people are reported to use the mentioned drug for this purpose. But it needs strict supervision of an experienced and qualified physician to avoid the side effects of the drug Desoxyn.
It is also observed that mental health disorders lead to abusive use of drugs and alcohol addiction. Desoxyn also increases the chances of the patient developing more mental disorders. The same occurs in the case of ADHD. It was noted by Psych Central that women who have ADHD also developed dysphoria and alcoholism. People suffering from ADHD are more likely to get addicted to this drug after the prescription from a physician. It occurs because of long-term use of the drug even after being healthy and without another consultancy.
Conjunctive Treatment
It seems that ADHD is quite tough to treat. People who are suffering from this mental disorder can be cured completely, but it requires a lot of patience and strict supervision. The use of Desoxyn should be appropriately scheduled and also need to be monitored for its dosage. It requires a pretty long period of time to complete the cure of the patient from ADHD using Desoxyn. People often end up getting addicted to the drug after few weeks. It happens they do not follow a proper dosing schedule and may take too low or too high doses. Some people feel it difficult to leave the drug even after a complete cure and become addicted.
There are also some methods available to leave the addiction of Desoxyn. One of the best methods of all is to use the proper combination of a comprehensive treat along with detox. Proper follow-up after the treatment should also be kept to ensure good health and avoid side effects. After the complete course of Desoxyn, the patient may feel some symptoms like extreme exhaustion, severe mood changes, and some skin allergies. The patient should be considered to treat these symptoms after the cure of ADHD.
