Combativeness and Aggressiveness

The Most Common Drugs That Can Cause Combativeness and Aggressiveness in a Person

One of the most common ways you can spot drug abuse in a person is from sudden aggression and combativeness. A person whose attitude is normally calm and quiet and suddenly becomes combative – this can be indicative of drug abuse. This combativeness can put family members, and those around the drug user, at risk of getting harmed.

If this condition becomes severe, it can lead to a breakdown, and your loved one might end up in an emergency unit. This can be dangerous because, in this state, they might be unconscious and unable to tell the doctors and nurses what they have taken to cause the breakdown. This can make the specialists unable to help efficiently.

The life-threatening danger of taking drugs that can lead to a combative or aggressive state is that it can cause a mental and physical breakdown, which could possibly lead to serious health complications. It might also cause aggressiveness even towards strangers, and this can leave you at the receiving end of an attack.

The Most Common Drugs: Stimulants

Stimulant drugs can cause hallucinations and paranoia, especially when taken in huge doses. This can lead you to believe those around you are trying to harm you, or that there are people following you, or that there have been people sent to kidnap you, or even that inanimate objects have been sent to cause you harm.

Stimulant drugs include:

Amphetamine, methamphetamine, and cocaine are drugs which can cause combativeness from heavy use. Methylone and mephedrone can cause combativeness at any time.
