The severe price amphetamine abusers pay for the burst of energy they receive from taking these prescription drugs is set forth in detail in this pamphlet.

The proper medical application of amphetamines, the street names of the drugs, and their short- and long-term effects on the body and brain, including strokes, heart attacks, irreversible brain damage and dangerously elevated body temperature are set forth.

The addictive nature of amphetamines are underscored by a description of the extremely unpleasant effects of withdrawal.
