Amphetamine is one of the most common drugs used for treating ADHD and other central nervous system disorders. It is considered a type of stimulant. It is produced through the contraction of a chemical known as alpha-methylphenethylamine. It is two enantiomers: dextroamphetamine and levoamphetamine. Amphetamine is referred to as a racemic free base because it is equal parts of both of these drugs in their amine forms.

Commonly used to refer to either of the two enantiomers or to one of them alone, the term “amphetamine” is also frequently used to refer to either of these drugs. It can be used to treat depression and nasal congestion. It is also recreationally used as an appetite suppressant and cognitive enhancer. Due to the risks associated with this drug, it is often difficult to distribute and possess it in some countries.

The first known pharmaceutical amphetamine used for treatments was Benzedrine. Currently, amphetamines are classified into three categories: racemic amphetamines, amphetamines with a high concentration of monoamine, and lisdexamfetamine. These three drugs have varying effects on the brain’s dopamine and norepinephrine neurotransmitter systems.

Amphetamine can cause various cognitive and emotional effects, such as an increase in desire for sex, better control of one’s thoughts, and improved wakefulness. It can also induce physical effects, such as fatigue resistance, improved reaction time, and muscle strength. However, large doses of the drug can negatively affect one’s cognitive function.

Although recreational use of amphetamines is a serious risk, it is unlikely that it will occur from long-term medical use. High doses can cause psychosis, which usually only occurs during the course of a drug’s use. These are much larger than the prescribed therapeutic doses and can carry a higher risk of experiencing serious side effects.

Amphetamine is a component of the phenethylamine class, which is the parent compound of various drugs, such as methamphetamine and bupropion. It is also related to two neuromodulators, namely N-methylphenethylamine and phenethylamine, which are produced in the body. N-methylphenethylamine belongs to the amphetamine family and is a positional isomer of the drug. Phenethylamine, on the other hand, is the parent compound.
