Stimulants increase the activity of certain brain chemicals, especially dopamine and norepinephrine.

 Amphetamines, like other stimulants, increase the activity of certain brain chemicals, especially dopamine and norepinephrine. 

Here’s how they act and their effects on mood:

Action in the Brain: Amphetamines stimulate the release of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, which are chemicals involved in mood regulation, alertness, and pleasure. By enhancing these neurotransmitters, amphetamines increase alertness, reduce fatigue, and boost concentration.


Mood Changes:

Euphoria and Confidence: Many users feel a rush of euphoria, increased confidence, and energy due to heightened dopamine levels. This can make social interactions feel more enjoyable and make the person feel more capable.

Excitement and Hyperactivity: High energy levels can lead to feelings of excitement or restlessness, sometimes resulting in hyperactive behaviors.

Anxiety and Agitation: As the effects wear off, some people may feel jittery, anxious, or irritable, especially if they've taken a large dose.

Irritability and Sadness After Effects: The "crash" or comedown can bring intense feelings of sadness or irritability as dopamine levels drop, sometimes lasting for days.

Repeated use or high doses of amphetamines can have serious health effects, including increased risk of dependence, cardiovascular issues, and mental health impacts.



At concerts, including those by artists like Alan Walker, some attendees may use stimulants such as caffeine, nicotine, or illicit substances like amphetamines or cocaine to enhance energy and alertness. However, the specific substances used can vary widely among individuals. It's important to note that the use of illegal drugs poses significant health risks and is often prohibited at concert venues. Attending events sober is the safest way to enjoy the experience.

You have learned the anatomy and physiology of the drug interaction, neurotransmitter, uptake. You've learned about how drugs interact with your body, the roles of neurotransmitters, and how uptake mechanisms work. 

Remember, it’s your own body, so you have the right to make your choices.

 But consider carefully any decision you make can affect you in the long run, and you’re the one who may face the consequences one day.

It's your own body do whatever you want! 

You are the one will suffer one day! 

Go ahead
