Dexedrine
Aliases: dextroamphetamine, dexamfetamine
Summary
Dextroamphetamine (also known as Dexamphetamine, D-Amphetamine, Dex, Dexies, or by brand names including Adderall, Attentin, Dexedrine) is a stimulant substance and the right-handed enantiomer of amphetamine. Dextroamphetamine is the more potent enantiomer of the two, but the effects are also slightly different in character. The small difference in affinity affects the mechanism resulting in a more mentally focused stimulation rather than physical, thus creating a stimulant that is more fit as a therapeutic drug rather than a recreational one.
