Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amphetamines were once widely prescribed for intolerance, which included conditions such as depression, narcolepsy, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). They were used as a stimulant to improve mood, increase alertness and concentration, and reduce appetite. However, due to their highly addictive nature and potential for abuse, their prescription has become more limited in recent years.
