Most of these types of names do not have specific suffixes but some do. For example, the suffix -aert meant something like âsomeone who â¦â, similar to the use of -er in English (to perform â performer).
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.
How do stimulants affect the brain and body? Stimulants, such as dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine Â®, Adderall Â®) and methylphenidate (Ritalin Â®, Concerta Â®), act in the brain on the family of monoamine neurotransmitter systems, which include norepinephrine and dopamine. Stimulants enhance the effects of these chemicals.
