Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) 09/01/2007 - "The efficacy of amphetamines in the management of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is well established. " 04/01/2010 - "The Quality of Life, Effectiveness, Safety, and Tolerability (QU.E.S.T.) study was designed to evaluate effectiveness of long-acting amphetamines in adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in community practice settings. " 05/01/2013 - "He had been taking amphetamines for 11 years for attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. " 11/01/2012 - "For example, an individual with attention deficit disorder would prefer amphetamines to alcohol, due to its stimulating properties, whereas an individual with anxiety would prefer alcohol to amphetamines, due to its anxiolytic properties. " 09/01/2012 - "Amphetamines for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in adults."

Narcolepsy 04/01/1993 - "Amphetamines and narcolepsy: use of the Stanford database." 02/28/1991 - "Narcolepsy--attitudes and amphetamines." 11/01/1975 - "Amphetamines had been given to 71 patients for periods of up to 33 years with adequate, but rarely complete, control of narcolepsy. " 02/01/2009 - "Although they have long been used effectively to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and adolescents, amphetamines are now being prescribed increasingly as maintenance therapy for ADHD and narcolepsy in adults, considerably extending the period of potential exposure. " 02/01/1999 - "There is no cure for narcolepsy; however, symptomatic relief may be achieved through a trial-and-error combination of amphetamines and tricyclic antidepressants. "
3.	Substance-Related Disorders (Drug Abuse) 07/01/2005 - "The purpose of this research was to study the demography, financial status, social status, knowledge of amphetamines, perceived harmfulness of amphetamines, and life skills in the prevention of drug abuse in adolescents. " 09/01/2014 - "Compared to the adult homeless, the homeless youth were more often female (55%), were Aboriginal (47.6%), had greater substance abuse of alcohol (70.7%), amphetamines (8.5%) and cannabis (75.6%).

"
4.	Parkinson Disease (Parkinson's Disease) 01/01/2004 - "Studies examining the pharmacological and neurotoxicological properties of the amphetamines have helped to elucidate some critical features of monoamine regulations as well as helped to improve our understanding of the processes associated with degenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease." 12/01/1999 - "TH activity is significantly diminished in Parkinson's disease (PD) and by the neurotoxic amphetamines, thereby accentuating the reductions in DA associated with these conditions.

"
5.	Cocaine-Related Disorders (Cocaine Addiction) 06/01/2012 - "Further research is required to confirm positive results from single-site trials, in particular the study of amphetamines as a treatment for cocaine dependence. " 03/01/2003 - "We identified 50 twin pairs in which only 1 member had heavy stimulant abuse (cocaine and/or amphetamines) ending at least 1 year before the evaluation. " 11/01/2012 - "All 5 types of childhood maltreatment were associated with increased odds of all individual SUDs among men and women after adjusting for sociodemographic variables, with the exception of physical neglect and heroin abuse or dependence, emotional neglect, and amphetamines and cocaine abuse or dependence among men (adjusted odds ratio range 1.3 to 4.7). " 11/01/2002 - "Logistic regression analyses indicated that first use of amphetamines or cocaine before the age of 16 years and severe cannabis or cocaine dependence were related to an increased risk of psychosis.
