I-Neuroscientist ichaza indlela eyafumanisa ngayo ukuba iMeth iphantse yafana no-Adderall

Eli qhekeza lapapashwa ngokubambisana ne Impembelelo .

Umgama omde ohamba kaloliwe ohamba usuka kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya iDC & apos; Isilver Spring yayimnandi ngendlela engaqhelekanga. Kwakumalunga neyure okoko ndaye ndathatha idosi esezantsi ye-methamphetamine. Kwakuyiminyaka engama-40 yokuzalwa-ngo-Oktobha 30, 2006-kwaye ndaya kwi-National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).

Umhlobo wam, owayenencwadi kagqirha, wayendinike iipilisi njengesipho, esazi ukuba ndiyingcali yee-amphetamines kodwa andikaze ndizithathele ngokwam. Ndihleli kuloliwe ndiziva ndiphaphile, ndikhuthazekile ngokwengqondo, kwaye ndonwabile.

Kwaye xa iziphumo beziphelile emva kweeyure ezimbalwa, ndacinga, yayintle lonto , usebenzile, kwaye uyonwabele intlanganiso yeentsuku ezimbini. Ewe, mhlawumbi ayonwabanga-yayiyintlanganiso ye-NIDA emva kwayo yonke loo nto. Kodwa andikhange ndilirhalele eli chiza okanye ndive isidingo sokuthatha enye. Ngokuqinisekileyo andikhange ndizibandakanye nakweyiphi na indlela yokuziphatha engaqhelekanga- akunakuba ngumfanekiso wethambo 'we-meth head.'

Ke kutheni le nto, ke, ukuba uluntu ngokubanzi lunoluvo olwahluke mpela ngeli chiza?

Mhlawumbi inento yokwenza namaphulo 'okufundisa' oluntu ajolise ekudimaziseni ukusetyenziswa kwemethamphetamine. La maphulo ahlala ebonisa, ngokucacileyo kunye neenkcukacha ezoyikisayo, umntu othile oselula ohluphekileyo osebenzisa iyeza okokuqala kwaye emva koko agqibe ukuzibandakanya nezinto ezinjengokuthengisa ngomzimba, ukuba abazali, okanye ukubetha abantu angabaziyo ngemali yokuthenga iyeza. Ekupheleni kwesibhengezo, esibhalwe kwiscreen, sithi: 'Meth-not even once.' Siphinde sabona loo mifanekiso yodumo 'yemilomo yomlomo' (ukubola kwamazinyo kakhulu), thaca ngokungafanelekanga njengesiphumo esithe ngqo sokusetyenziswa kwemethamphetamine.

Ezi ntlobo zemikhankaso yeendaba azikuthinteli okanye zinciphise ukusetyenziswa kweziyobisi; kananjalo ababoneleli ngeyinyani malunga neziphumo zemeth Baphumelela kuphela ekuqhubekekiseni iingcinga zobuxoki.

Ukugxothwa ngulo myalezo, uluntu luhlala phantse lungazi kwaphela ukuba i-methamphetamine ivelisa iziphumo ezifanayo nezo ziveliswa lonyango oludumileyo lwe-ADHD d-amphetamine (dextroamphetamine). Mhlawumbi uyazi njenge-Adderall®: indibaniselwano ye-amphetamine kunye ne-d-amphetamine ityuwa exubekileyo.

Yhe ndiyazi. Le ngxelo ifuna ukuzikhusela.

Oku akuthethi ukuba abantu abelwe i-Adderall kufuneka bayeke ukusetyenziswa kwayo ngenxa yokoyika iziyobisi ezonakalisayo, kodwa endaweni yoko kufuneka sijonge i-methamphetamine kunokuba sijonga i-d-amphetamine. Khumbula ukuba i-methamphetamine kunye ne-d-amphetamine zombini ngamayeza avunyiweyo yi-FDA ukunyanga i-ADHD. Ukongeza, i-methamphetamine yamkelwe ukunyanga ukutyeba kunye ne-d-amphetamine ukunyanga i-narcolepsy.

Ngomdla wokuxelwa ngokupheleleyo, nam ndikhe ndakholelwa ukuba i-methamphetamine yayinobungozi kakhulu kune-d-amphetamine, ngaphandle kwento yokuba amachiza amachiza amabini aphantse afana. Ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yoo-1990, xa ndandingumfundi we-PhD, ndaxelelwa-kwaye ndakholelwa ngokupheleleyo- ukuba ukongezwa kweqela le-methyl kwi-methamphetamine kuyenze yanyibilika ngakumbi nge-lipid (inguqulelo: iyakwazi ukungena kwingqondo ngokukhawuleza) kwaye ngenxa yoko likhoboka kune-d-amphetamine.

Kwakungekho & apos; de kwaliqela leminyaka emva kwesikolo esiphumelele ukuba le nkolelo yaphulwe bubungqina- hayi kuphando lwam kuphela, kodwa nakwiziphumo zophando olwenziwe zezinye izazinzulu.

Kwi isifundo sethu , Sizise amadoda ali-13 awayehlala esebenzisa i-methamphetamine kwilebhu. Sinike ngamnye kubo ukubetha kwe-methamphetamine, ye-d-amphetamine, okanye ye-placebo ngeentsuku ezahlukeneyo phantsi kweemeko ezingaboniyo kabini. Siphindaphinde oku amaxesha amaninzi nomntu ngamnye ngaphezulu kweentsuku ezininzi kunye needosi ezininzi zechiza ngalinye.

Njengo-d-amphetamine, i-methamphetamine inyuse izifundo zethu & apos; amandla kunye nokuphucula amandla abo okugxila kunye nokugxila; ikwanciphisile neemvakalelo zokudinwa kunye nokuphazamiseka kwengqondo okubangelwa kukudinwa kunye / okanye ukungalali ngokwaneleyo. Omabini la machiza anyuse uxinzelelo lwegazi kunye nenqanaba lokubetha kwentliziyo. Ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo ezi ziziphumo ezixhasa ukusetyenziswa okuqhubekayo kwe-d-amphetamine zizizwe ezininzi & apos; ezomkhosi, kubandakanya nezethu.

Kwaye xa sinikwa ithuba lokukhetha amachiza okanye izixa ezahlukeneyo zemali, izifundo zethu zakhetha ukuthatha i-d-amphetamine kwinani elifanayo lamaxesha njengoko bekhetha ukuthatha imethamphetamine. Abasebenzisi be-methamphetamine abaqhelekileyo abakwazanga ukwahlula phakathi kwezi zimbini. (Kungenzeka ukuba iqela le-methyl liphucula i-methamphetamine kunye ne-apos; i-lipid-solubility, kodwa oku kubonakala kungabonakali kubathengi babantu.)

Kuyinyani ukuba iimpembelelo zokutshaya i-methamphetamine zinamandla ngakumbi kunezo zokuginya ipilisi equkethe i-d-amphetamine. Kodwa ukonyuka kokuqina kubangelwa yindlela yolawulo, hayi ichiza ngokwalo. Ukutshaya i-d-amphetamine kuvelisa iziphumo ezifanayo ezinje ngokutshaya i-methamphetamine. Kuya kuba njalo ukuba iziyobisi zazikhutshiwe.

Ukundishiya kwam DC ndisiya ekhaya eNew York, ndiye ndacinga ngendlela endandikhe ndathatha inxaxheba ngayo ekulahlekiseni uluntu ngokuqhatha ubungozi be-methamphetamine. Umzekelo, kolunye lwezifundo zam zangaphambili, ezijolise ekubhaleni ngamandla iziyobisi, ndafumanisa ukuba xa ndinikwa ukhetho phakathi kokuthatha into encinci ye-meth (10 mg) okanye idola enye ngemali, abasebenzisi be-methamphetamine bakhethe ichiza malunga nesiqingatha sexesha.

Kum, ngo-2001, oku kwacebisa ukuba iyeza likhoboka. Kodwa eyona nto ibonakalisile kukungazi kwam kunye nokukhetha. Kuba, njengoko ndafumanisa kwisifundo samva, ukuba bendiyonyusile imali ukuya kuthi ga kwiidola ezintlanu, abasebenzisi bebengayithatha imali phantse ngalo lonke ixesha-nangona besazi ukuba bazokulinda iiveki ezininzi ukuphela kwesifundo ngaphambi kokufumana imali.

Konke oku kufanele ukuba kube sisifundo malunga nendlela egqwethwayo yemithombo yeendaba enokuba nefuthe ngayo nakwinzululwazi malunga neziphumo zokusetyenziswa kweziyobisi.

Kuthathe mna phantse iminyaka engama-20 kunye neempapasho ezininzi zesayensi kwindawo yokusebenzisa iziyobisi ukuqonda ezam izinto ezithandekayo malunga nemethamphetamine. Ndiyathemba nje ukuba awudingi ixesha elininzi kunye nemisebenzi yesayensi ukuze uqonde ukuba i-Adderall oyithathayo wena okanye umntu omthandayo usuku ngalunye ikwayichiza elifanayo njengemeth.

Kwaye ndiyathemba ukuba olu lwazi lubangela ukugweba okuncinci kwabantu abasebenzisa i-meth, kunye novelwano olukhulu.
