What are amphetamines, and how do they affect the brain and body?
Quote from Diego Ramirez on February 21, 2025, 3:21 pmAmphetamines are stimulant drugs that speed up the brain and nervous system. They increase chemicals like dopamine and norepinephrine, which can improve alertness and energy but may also cause anxiety, heart strain, and addiction if misused or taken long-term.
