Hi Agnes. I was assigned patient case one, and the medication was Amphetamine, just like your case. In your case, you were to look at the pros of Amphetamine, unlike my case, where I was to look at the cons of Amphetamine. I want to contribute by adding that the mechanism of action of amphetamine-based stimulants involves blocking the reuptake of dopamine and norepinephrine, leading to increased concentrations of these neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft (Alalalmeh et al., 2023). This increased neurotransmitter availability enhances neuronal signaling, particularly in brain regions associated with attention, impulse control, and executive function (Berridge & Devilbiss, 2020). By targeting these neurotransmitter systems, stimulant medications can help regulate attention, focus, and behavior in individuals with ADHD. Research suggests that individuals with ADHD often have dysregulation in dopaminergic and noradrenergic pathways, leading to difficulties in maintaining attention and inhibiting impulsive behaviors (Berridge & Devilbiss, 2020). By increasing dopamine and norepinephrine levels, stimulant medications help to normalize activity within these pathways, improving cognitive and behavioral functioning (Alalalmeh et al., 2023).
