'Rivet' is the name of a drug derived from amphetamines, which is also known by students as 'Ball'. The main effect of this drug is to raise the alertness of the individual, which apparently can be good for studying longer, without getting tired, or to drive long journeys at night because it disturbs sleep.
The drug Rebite acts in the central nervous system promoting a mixture of sensations in the brain and a greater state of alert, leaving the body more accelerated, and addictive in a short time, being necessary a greater dose for a more prolonged effect. As a derivative of amphetamines this drug can be produced in the laboratory, but is also present in some medicines used for weight loss or depression, but in small doses.

What happens after taking 'Rivet'
The effects of the drug Rbite in the organism begin soon after its taking, changing the behavior and the way of reacting to the situations, leaving the individual more agitated and presenting:
- Lack of sleep;
- Lack of appetite;
- Pale skin;
- Dilated pupils;
- Decreased reflexes;
- Dry mouth;
- High pressure;
- Blurry vision.
Intense anxiety, paranoia and distortion of the perception of reality, auditory and visual hallucinations and feelings of power are some symptoms related to the consumption of this type of drug, but although these effects can occur in any user, individuals with a psychiatric disorder are more vulnerable to them.
That way, even though the person is very tired, after taking the tablet, the body no longer seems tired and the effect remains for a few hours. However, the effect is gradually diminishing, and sleep and tiredness arise again, necessitating the taking of a new tablet. Once the person gets addicted other even more serious symptoms may arise such as frequent irritability, sexual impotence, persecution mania and depression.
Rivet addictive?
Rivet causes addiction and addiction quickly because apparently the person feels good, without any tiredness and willing to continue studying or driving for a few more hours. However, this false sense that everything is controlled is necessary to take another tablet to be able to study a little more, or arrive at the desired time to the final destination.
Gradually the person becomes addicted because he thinks that he can learn more in less time of study or that he is professionally more efficient, but taking the rivet causes chemical dependence, and can cause irreversible brain damage and even death, especially when if you need to take other types of medicines, such as to control blood pressure, for example.
As the drug is being consumed, the body becomes accustomed to it and every day it is necessary to take a larger dose to get the same alertness, making it very difficult to stop consuming this type of drug.
Research confirms that most truck drivers in Brazil have used the drug at least once to be able to stay awake longer and to travel long distances without having to stop to rest and sleep, but to stay awake for 24 hours may require more of 10 tablets throughout the day, which vitiates and has serious consequences for the body.
