Amphetamines are stimulants of the central nervous system and sympathetic division of the peripheral nervous system.
They do, by definition, whether or not they were designed to do so.
Drugs that have an effect on the central nervous system, such as increased mental and/ or physical alertness
Stimulants are drugs that speed up the Central Nervous System. Some examples are Caffeine, Cocaine, and Amphetamines.
The combination of amantadine and central nervous system stimulants (e.g., amphetamines or decongestants) may cause increased central nervous stimulation or increase the likelihood of seizures.
Dexedrine is classified as a central nervous system stimulant. Central nervous system stimulants vary in strength, but all cause an increase in wakefulness and concentration; they are used for treating ADHD and narcolepsy.
Substances that are not stimulants include depressants (such as alcohol and benzodiazepines) and hallucinogens (such as LSD and psilocybin). These substances work on the central nervous system in different ways compared to stimulants.
Stimulants and depressants have opposite effects on the brain. Stimulants activate the central nervous system, while depressants (as their name implies) depress it.

Central nervous system (CNS) stimulants are drugs that increase activity in certain areas of the brain. These drugs are used to improve wakefulness in patients that have narcolepsy.
