Dexamphetamine

Dexamphetamine is a medication that stimulates the central nervous system by increasing the levels of certain chemicals in the brain, primarily dopamine and norepinephrine. It is commonly used to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy, helping improve focus, attention, and alertness. Dexamphetamine works by enhancing nerve activity, which can reduce impulsivity and hyperactivity in ADHD. Because it affects brain chemistry, it has the potential for misuse and side effects like increased heart rate or anxiety. It should always be used under medical supervision, following prescribed doses and guidelines.
