Dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine) is an amphetamine, belonging to the group of medicines called central nervous system (CNS) stimulants. Dexedrine is a Schedule II controlled substance. Dexedrine was often used in the late 60s and early 70s as a prescription diet aid, because one of its effects is appetite suppression. Today Dexedrine, and its more potent cousin Benzedrine, are also commonly (and illegally) used by college students, either for the stimulant high it provides or as a study aid.
Dextroamphetamine induces the release of the neurotransmitters dopamine and (to a lesser extent) norepinephrine into nerve synapses in certain areas of the brain, thus promoting nerve impulse transmission. In the majority of individuals, dextroamphetamine acts as a psychostimulant, increasing mental alertness and decreasing any sense of fatigue.
