    Glossary Amphetamine

    potent stimulant affecting the central nervous system, often called Speed

    Amphetamine is a potent central nervous system stimulant that is commonly used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. It works by increasing the levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, such as dopamine and norepinephrine, which helps improve focus, attention, and energy levels. Amphetamine is also known by street names like "Speed" and "Uppers" due to its stimulating effects. Misuse of amphetamines can lead to serious health risks, including addiction, cardiovascular issues, and mental health disorders.
