Neurostimulant
A neurostimulant is a type of medication that is used to increase alertness, focus, and performance. It works by stimulating the nervous system to increase the production of certain neurotransmitters, which are chemicals that the brain uses to communicate. Neurostimulants can be used to treat conditions such as ADHD, narcolepsy, depression, and sleep disorders. They can also be used to enhance performance, such as in athletes or students. Common side effects of neurostimulants include increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, nausea, headache, and insomnia. Long-term use of neurostimulants can lead to addiction, so it is important to use them as prescribed and to discuss any concerns with a doctor.
