| description | AMPHETAMINES ARE GENERALLY described as "stimulants." They are more appropriately called psychomotor
stimulants becaue of their many actions that stimulate the brain. They are agents that can improve physical
performance by increasing alertness, reducing sleepiness or prolonging endurance.
Amphetamines are a group of synthetic chemicals that structurally resemble the naturallyoccurring
chemicals
in the body, neutrotransmitters, which are found in the brain. In fact, amphetamines are capable of displacing
neutrotransmitters to exert their actions, causing a variety of central nervous system (CNS) effects.
Moreover, amphetamines are fatsoluble
and enter the brain easily to create a general "artificial" feeling of
wellbeing,
which enhances their abuse potential. With repeated use, the drug tends to accumulate in the brain
and fatty cells of the body. |
