Coaxil is a medication that helps in the fight against depression. It has an energizing effect, provokes an increase in activity and euphoria, similar to the effect of heroin. The product has a low cost, which makes it popular among addicts. However, subsequently, abuse of this drug leads to severe damage to internal organs and personality degradation. In this article we will tell you about the signs of using Coaxil, the health consequences of using the drug and methods of treating addiction.

Coaxil in medicine

The main active ingredient of Coaxil is sodium tianeptine. It belongs to the tricyclic antidepressants. The period of use of the drug is limited and should be under the constant supervision of a physician. A large dose of medication prescribed for a complex course of the disease is limited to 8 tablets per day. Increasing this dose leads to withdrawal symptoms. Although the instructions for the drug indicate that the drug is not addictive, this statement can only be attributed to the use of the drug for medical purposes. In 2010, Coaxil was recognized as a narcotic substance and banned in Russia.

Coaxil has an invigorating, tonic effect, acts as an antidepressant, reducing mental and motor retardation. The drug improves mood, relieves anxiety, worry and fear. Addicts take Coaxil for years, which leads to severe side effects that do not appear immediately, but like a time bomb.

Coaxil. Consequences

Drug addicts who use Coaxil to achieve a high do not think about the negative impact of the drug on all organs and systems. The inhibitory effect of the active substance affects critical thinking; the patient is not able to adequately assess the negative impact of Coaxil tablets on the body. Side effects in this case develop rapidly, which leads to the development of the following pathological reactions:

• disturbance of metabolic processes, as a consequence of disruption of the normal functioning of the digestive organs;
• internal bleeding;
• renal failure;
• acute cerebrovascular accident;
• diseases of the heart and blood vessels;
• mental illness;
• toxic damage to liver cells;
• oncopathology;
• blood diseases.

A drug addicted patient has an individual sensitivity to the drug Coaxil. An overdose can occur after the first use of the drug, but in most cases it develops after prolonged illegal use of pills. This condition provokes irreversible consequences and life-threatening conditions. Without timely detoxification therapy, the patient dies from multiple organ failure.

Signs of using coaxil

If you are particularly sensitive to the components of the drug, Coaxil causes not only addiction, but also withdrawal symptoms, even if a person uses the drug for therapeutic purposes. Most often, the condition manifests itself in the appearance of insomnia, the development of depression, and a strong desire to take a new dose to alleviate the condition. The following symptoms are also observed, which may indicate a person has taken Coaxil:

1. Severe pain in the body.
2. Nausea and vomiting.
3. Depressed mental state.
4. Insomnia.
5. Psychosis and suicide attempts.

While taking other antidepressants in parallel, the symptoms worsen and the addict, who is unable to withstand the withdrawal syndrome, breaks down, increasing the amount of the drug consumed.

When taking dangerous doses of Coaxil, the following symptoms are observed:

1. Decreased vision and red eyes.
2. Sudden mood swings: from euphoria to psychosis.
3. Anorexia or asthenic syndrome.
4. Crushing teeth, rapid development of caries.
5. When administered by injection, non-healing wounds appear on the extremities.

How to recognize a person addicted to Coaxil

Any disease, as we know, is best treated at an early stage, and this fully applies to drug addiction and people addicted to Coaxil, in particular. Much in this case depends on the relatives of the beginning drug addict, who must promptly detect the characteristic signs that the person is drug dependent:

• severe headaches that rarely go away;
• dizziness;
• breathing problems;
• sleep disturbances, and this can manifest itself not only insomnia, but also increased drowsiness;
• disruption of the digestive system, which can result in diarrhea, nausea and vomiting;
• pain in the back and lower back.

Necrotic skin lesions should be of particular concern, which indicates systemic use of Coaxil. Experienced drug addicts begin to rot alive, and in this case, restoring normal body functions is extremely problematic. Therefore, if you notice the first symptoms of drug addiction, you should not put off visiting a narcologist.

Health implications

Coaxial addicts' health quickly deteriorates. The person experiences severe headaches, rapid deterioration of vision, and literally before the eyes of the addict, teeth affected by caries turn black. Intoxication of the body worsens overall health. Injection of the drug provokes damage to the walls of blood vessels, thrombosis and purulent lesions of muscles and tissues. This often ends in limb amputation or death.

Development of addiction

Coaxil causes addiction, which manifests itself both physically and psychologically. Having become accustomed to one dose of the drug, the body requires a new one. If a person stops using Coaxil, it is difficult for the body to function as before and withdrawal syndrome occurs. Mental dependence develops even from a short period of using Coaxil. Only professional psychocorrection and total refusal to take the drug will help here. According to statistics, coaxial addicts live three times less than heroin addicts. This is caused by severe damage to health.

The effect of coaxil on the body and the occurrence of addiction

As already mentioned, drug addicts value Coaxil for the fact that it promotes rapid relaxation and relief from anxiety, for which, in fact, it was originally created. In the first stages, the drug actually helps to improve mood and gain strength, but soon we have to talk about addiction and the appearance of pathological changes in the psyche. A person who constantly takes Coaxil becomes distracted, he cannot control his thoughts and actions, and exhibits suicidal tendencies. Even with dosed use, experts do not recommend driving a car or performing dangerous work after using the drug.

Dependence on Coaxil begins quite quickly, and there is a need to constantly increase the dose, which leads to detrimental consequences. Thus, a person’s physiological dependence appears, and if the next dose of the drug is not at hand, severe withdrawal symptoms begin, which are more severe than heroin withdrawal. There is only one way out of the situation - the help of specialists, and no self-medication, as this can only worsen the situation. By the way, statistics say that drug addicts who choose Coaxil live three times less than heroin addicts.

The danger of overdose with coaxil

Coaxil is considered one of the most dangerous drugs. It is difficult to alleviate withdrawal from this drug even with the strongest opiates. In case of prolonged use of Coaxil, a person becomes inadequate and dangerous to others.

The most pronounced consequences of using Coaxil:

1. Microbial contamination.
2. Blockage of veins, formation of blood clots.
3. Blood poisoning, development of gangrene.
4. Tooth decay in 4 weeks.
5. Loss of vision.

Coaxil. Effect

The pharmacological effect of coaxil is explained by the chemical properties of sodium trianeptine.
The drug is supplied to the pharmacy chain in the form of tablets for oral use. The medicinal effect of the drug begins immediately after the absorption of the chemical compound into the mucous membrane of the small intestine. On average, about 1 hour passes from the moment of drug use until the expected effect appears. The drug is quickly eliminated from the body, so addicts are forced to take it frequently, rapidly increasing the dosage. This is explained by the formation of receptor resistance to small doses of sodium trineaptin. As a consequence of using Coaxil, emotional and biochemical dependence develops.

Unauthorized use of pills leads to the formation of the following specific symptoms of drug addiction:

• attacks of nausea and repeated vomiting;
• cardiopalmus;
• dizziness;
• confusion, slurred speech;
• impaired coordination of movements;
• dilated pupils;
• behavioral disorders;
• lethargy, disorientation in time and space.

The severity of symptoms depends on the individual characteristics of the drug addict, the amount of drug taken, length of drug use, and the presence of concomitant diseases.
The lack of adequate treatment for drug addiction from Coaxil provokes irreversible changes at the cellular level, which can lead to life-threatening conditions and premature death.

Addiction treatment

Coaxial addiction is quite difficult to treat. The craving for the drug persists for several years. If we take into account the fact that Coaxil cannot be combined with any antidepressants, then the selection of drug therapy becomes difficult. Treatment is selected individually, based on the psychological and physical state of health of the patient. The longer the period of drug use, the longer the rehabilitation will take, since even heroin addiction cannot compare with the severity of the consequences of using Coaxil. However, with timely access to specialists, the chances of recovery increase.
