Below is some really interesting information about Dexedrine:
The short-term effects of Dexedrine are achieved by the stimulant drug’s ability to interact with a group of neurotransmitters in the brain called monoamines, which includes 5:
Dopamine: a pleasure-inducing transmitter that is related to movement, emotion, and motivation.
Norepinephrine: a hormone and neurotransmitter associated with attention, focus, heart rate, blood pressure, and muscle response.
Serotonin: a neurotransmitter linked to mood changes and regulation of the sleep/wake cycle.
Dexedrine effects
With the combination of neurotransmitter influence, Dexedrine use can produce a range of effects in the short-term, such as 1,3,4:
Higher alertness.
Increased energy.
Improved attention.
Better decision-making skills.
Increased self-esteem.
More appropriate family and social interactions.
Those abusing the substance may wish to achieve the above effects but at an extreme level. For example, someone may abuse Dexedrine so that they can complete their work more quickly and efficiently without needing to stop for sleep. Other people will abuse it primarily for getting high since the substance can trigger a sense of euphoria with 7:
Improved mood.
Decreased stress.
Feelings of inflated self-worth.
Fearlessness.
Side Effects
Similar to other substances, Dexedrine use and abuse carries many risks. Even when used as prescribed, the substance is associated with a number of unwanted side effects. These effects tend to increase in frequency and intensity as someone abuses the substance, especially at high doses. Some of the unwanted side effects are 1,2:
Restlessness.
Dizziness.
Insomnia.
Impaired movement.
Irritability.
Shakiness.
Increase blood pressure.
Higher heart rate.
Headache.
Motor and verbal tics.
Vision problems.
Dry mouth.
Diarrhea.
Constipation.
Sexual dysfunction.
Risk of seizure.
Maybe this explains the stutter.
