Stimulants (also referred to as psychostimulants) are psychoactive drugs that induce temporary improvements in either mental or physical functions or both. Examples of these kinds of effects may include enhanced alertness, wakefulness, and locomotion, among others.
A positive of the long-acting type is that you donât have to remember to take them as often. They may also cut down on some side effects. But it may be harder to wind down at night until you get your medication dose and timing right. Common stimulants include: Short-Acting: 1  Amphetamine sulfate (Evekeo). 2  Dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine, ProCentra, Zenzedi). 3  Dexmethylphendiate (Focalin). 4  Methylphenidate (Ritalin).
