Prescription stimulants Prescription stimulants are drugs that improve states of alertness and wakefulness. They stimulate both central nervous system and sympathetic nervous system and often produce euphoric feelings. The stimulants are being used in pharmacology to treat narcolepsy and other sleep disorders and help patients suffering from ADD or ADHD. The most used stimulants are Ritalin, Concerta, Adderall and Adderall XR although there are some improved drugs called eugeroics. Modafinil and adrafinil, marketed as Provigil and Olmifon belong to this class. |
