Intense euphoria and well-being appear in heroin intoxication. Symptoms during withdrawal vary—someone feel anxious and agitated, while others experience temporary depression and anhedonia. Long-term use of opioids is associated with moderate to severe depression. Whereas MA intoxication is associated with euphoria, well-being, and perceived increased powers of thought, strength, and accomplishment [7, 42, 44].
