Amphetamines are a?
No. Ampheatamines are the exact opposite of deppresants. They are stimulants which when used for AD/HD medications stimulate the frontal lobe which can increase attention and help with school and work. They increase blood pressure which can be very dangerous when used with other stimulants like caffine, energy drinks and even cold medications. The use of multiple unperscribed stimulants can lead to heart attacks, and even death.
Is Oxycontin a stimulant?
Drug users frequently take stimulants and opiates at the same time. They have a synergistic effect. You may have heard the term "speedball" before. A speedball is a combination of cocaine and heroin that is usually injected but can be smoked or insufflated. When you combine coke and heroin you feel the clean energy of cocaine and the warm euphoria of heroin - many think that this is the ultimate high. Other stimulants besides cocaine, such as adderall, can be used of course, but the mix of smack and blow are the gold standard. Personally I stay far away from speedballing, because it is incredibly addicting and incredibly easy to overdose. John Belushi and River Phoenix both died from speedballing. With that said, if you're looking to potentiate opiates you can take a small dose (I take 10-15 mg) of amphetamine orally about half an hour before taking opiates. I have found this to be safe for me, but everyone's body chemistry is different - know yourself before you start mixing.

What does drugs do to people?
Physiologically, drugs change the way chemicals and cells in the brain interact with each other either by disrupting data being transferred from cell to cell, or reacting with chemicals in the brain. This produces changes in the way people think, the way people experience their senses, and the way people behave. Stimulants (Cocaine, Amphetamine, etc) usually increase concentration, increase heartrate, and heighten the senses. Depressents (Heroin, Alcohol, Benzodiazepines) usually do the opposite. And Hallucinogens (LSD, Psylocibe mushrooms, cannabis) interrupt the flow of information from the senses to your brain, which distorts your version of reality. Causing hallucinations and what can only be described as strange distortions of objects, sounds, and feelings. Psychologically, drugs can make the user feel and behave differently depending on the type. Stimulants usually make the user feel focused, sometimes confident (Particularly with cocaine) and euphoric. Depressents can make the user feel happy, care free, they can stop the feeling of pain to a degree. Hallucinogens can make people feel connected with others, connected with their environment and can make them feel very introspective. These feelings have a flipside. Depending on the environment people take certain drugs in, and their feelings before dosing, these psychological effects can be very different. Stimulants can induce paranoia, being focused on the thought people have evil intentions towards you. Depressents can do the same, but can also make people very emotional and sensitive to negative feelings (Particularly alcohol). And hallucinogens can cause feelings of dread, the sensation that you're going to die or bad things are going to happen. Or simply fear of varying degrees. Socially, drugs can strengthen relationships and change a person's personality. Stimulants can cause people to become confident socially. Depressents can lower inhibitions. And hallucinogens can make people introspective, making them look at themselves, or even their surrounding environment and other people in very different ways. Another flipside. Stimulants can make people uncontrollable, too confident, or wreckless or to view others negatively they once thought positively of. Depressents can cause awquard social situations. And hallucinogens can cause people to become very scared of certain things if things go the wrong way. Can't think of many other ways I can answer your question, I'll improve when I can. And I hope I answered it in at least one way you wanted to know. --
