A member asked:
Is it possible for the sympathetic nervous system to be permanently in overdrive because of stimulant overuse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
With Continuous Use: Stimulants activate the nervous system and overuse on a daily basis may make one feel on "overdrive". Discontinuing regular use may actually leave one feeling depleted rather than permanently stuck in overdrive.
