• The euphoric stimulation increases impulsive and risk-taking behaviors, including bizarre and violent acts. • Withdrawal from the drug may result in severe physical and mental depression. Workplace Issues • Since amphetamines alleviate the sensation of fatigue, they may be abused to increase alertness because of unusual overtime demands or failure to get rest. • Low-dose amphetamine use will cause a short-term improvement in mental and physical functioning. With greater use or increasing fatigue, the effect reverses and has an impairing effect. Hangover effect is characterized by physical fatigue and depression, which may make operation of equipment or vehicles dangerous. Appendix F. Fact Sheets F-5 August 2002
Cocaine Fact Sheet Cocaine is used medically as a local anesthetic. It is abused as a powerful physical and mental stimulant. The entire central nervous system is energized. Muscles are more tense, the heart beats faster and stronger, and the body burns more energy. The brain experiences an exhilaration caused by a large release of neurohormones associated with mood elevation. Description • The source of cocaine is the coca bush, grown almost exclusively in the mountainous regions of northern South America. • Cocaine Hydrochloride – “snorting coke” is a white to creamy granular or lumpy powder that is chopped into a fine powder before use. It is snorted into the nose, rubbed on the gums, or injected in veins. The effect is felt within minutes and lasts 40 to 50 minutes per “line” (about 60 to 90 milligrams). Common paraphernalia include a single-edged razor blade and a small mirror or piece of smooth metal, a half straw or metal tube, and a small screw cap vial or folded paper packet containing the cocaine. • Cocaine Base – a small crystalline rock about the size of a small pebble. It boils at a low temperature, is not soluble in water, and is up to 90 percent pure. It is heated in a glass pipe and the vapor is inhaled. The effect is felt within 7 seconds. Common paraphernalia includes a “crack pipe” (a small glass smoking device for vaporizing the crack crystal) and a lighter, alcohol lamp, or small butane torch for heating. • Trade/street names include Coke, Rock, Crack, Free Base, Flake, Snow, Smoke, and Blow. Signs and Symptoms of Use • Financial problems • Frequent and extended absences from meetings or work assignment • Increased physical activity and fatigue • Isolation and withdrawal from friends and normal activities • Secretive behaviors, frequent nonbusiness visitors, delivered packages, phone calls • Unusual defensiveness, anxiety, agitation • Wide mood swings • Runny or irritated nose • Difficulty in concentration • Dilated pupils and visual impairment • Restlessness • Formication (sensation of bugs crawling on skin) • High blood pressure, heart palpitations, and irregular rhythm • Hallucinations • Hyperexcitability and overreaction to stimulus • Insomnia Appendix F.
