Amphetamines

Amphetamines are a class of stimulant drugs that increase activity in the brain and body. They enhance focus, energy, and alertness by boosting levels of certain neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and norepinephrine. Commonly prescribed for conditions like Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy, they can also be misused for their euphoric effects. While amphetamines can be effective in therapeutic doses, they carry risks of addiction and various side effects, such as increased heart rate, anxiety, and insomnia, especially when used improperly. Caution and medical supervision are important when using these substances.
