If I did ice/meth once will I get addicted?
Q.
If I did ice/meth once will I get addicted? And what will happen if I sniffed a perkaset pill?
A.
It is unlikely that you will get addicted to any drug after a single use, but remember everyone responds differently and has different tolerance levels and ice is considered more addictive than other types of amphetamines. Ice is a very potent drug, you should also be aware that there are a number of unpleasant side effects that may occur, even if you only try it once). These can include: - blurred vision
- dry mouth
- increased breathing rate
- severe headache
- tremors of the hands and fingers
- nausea and dizziness
- excessive sweating & increased body temperature
- increased blood pressure & a rapid and irregular heartbeat
- damage to blood vessels in the brain (usually associated with very high doses)
- restlessness and anxiety
- aggression, hostility and violence
- paranoia or panic attacks associated with hallucinations
Percocet is a combination of oxycodone and acetaminophen, two types of medication used to help with pain relief. It is dangerous to take any medication that has not been prescribed for you or to not follow the prescriber's instructions. In the case of Percocet it can not only be addictive, but when taken in high doses or over a long period of time it can cause a number of problems including liver damage. Snorting drugs that are meant to be taken by mouth adds the risk as snorting can cause a more rapid rise in the concentration of the drug in the blood stream and may prove toxic to the heart, brain or other parts of the body. You also risk inhaling it into your lungs where it can irritate them. This is especially important if you have a respiratory condition such as asthma.
You might find it helpful to chat to your doctor or a counsellor for more information.
