What are the proven advantages of stimulants?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Energy and focus: For people with add or adhd stimulants help focus and concentration and restlessness. Even for people without add or adhd they help energy, focus, and concentration, but people can become addicted and need more and more if abused. Because they are activating, they can exacerbate anxiety as a side effect.
