Different Types of Drugs that Can Cause Mood Swings (part 1 of 2)

Drugs, particularly recreational ones, have a nasty reputation for causing mood swings and hallucinations.  Most of the drugs that are popular among users and addicts today are especially prized or formulated for their specific effects.  Unfortunately, these very same effects could also become uncontrolled, creating unpleasant physical, mental and emotional stress.  Often, these emotions can be either extremely positive or extremely negative.  Depending on the amount of drugs that enters the body and the person's own physiological reactions to it, mood swings can be prolonged and intense.

Drugs that can cause mood swings
There are several types of drugs that lead to mood swings.  These are:

Cocaine
Cocaine was a drug that soared in popularity in the 80s and 90s.  It is a known stimulant that may be dissolved and taken through an IV, although it is commonly inhaled.  Cocaine, like its derivative crack, produces a feeling of intense euphoria, which makes it very popular with users.  It can quickly stimulate the central nervous system, increasing energy and confidence and reducing inhibition.

The problem with cocaine is that once the initial effects wear off, the negative effects begin.  This is then replaced by depression, guilt, anxiety and nervousness, exactly the opposite of the emotions it produces initially.

Inhalants
Inhalants frequently come in the form of adhesives such as glues, gasoline, aerosol propellants, spray paints and cleaning liquids.  Although safe in small quantities and if used as indicated, inhalants may be abused.

Inhalants produce a 'high' but this is only temporary.  Unless a new 'hit' is taken, the user could begin to suffer from negative emotions, leading to mood swings.

Amphetamines
Amphetamines were the drug of choice for nearly two decades starting in the 1950s.  It was actually a prescription drug, used to treat mild depression, fatigue and obesity.  The only problem is that amphetamines can lead to addiction, which has now severely limited its use today.
