Question
hi there this is more a health question in relation to drug abuse so im not sue if you can help me. My boyfriend is a regular speed user and has been everyweekend or more for the past three years he is experincing shortness of breathe and difficulty catching his breathe .. i was wondering if speed affects the lungs. Thanks for your time.
Hi sarahjayne,
If your boyfriend is using speed regularly, all sorts of medical problems can arise. It is best for him to see a doctors to make sure everything is OK.
His health cannnot be guaranteed if he continues to use illegal drugs.

| Comment | Thank you very much. You have helped me a lot. The only reason he wants to do illegal drugs over legal is b/c his friends persuade him into doing so. If you ask me I think both are terrible. I was also wondering if being on the adderall and the effexor would make cocaine more deadly. I know it already is a very bad and highly addictive drug, but does it make him more vulnerable being on those drugs. Oh it also doesn't help that he has an addictive personalty (he's been told that many times by doctors). Thanks again!! Michelle sexy_92586@hotmail.com | ||
