Sphere of action (inferred from toxicology, not proven): the cerebral cortex and sympathetic nervous system — a remedy of over-stimulation, racing mind and body, insomnia, restlessness and exhaustion, with cardiovascular acceleration and appetite suppression.

Key symptoms

NOT derived from a proving — these are toxicological pictures under the Law of Similars: forced wakefulness and intractable insomnia with a racing, overactive mind; restless hyperactivity, tremor, talkativeness and irritability; appetite loss with weight loss; rapid forcible heartbeat, palpitation and raised blood pressure; in excess, paranoid delusions, hallucinations and formication (amphetamine psychosis), followed by depressive exhaustion and craving on withdrawal. Pupils dilated, mouth dry, jaw clenched (bruxism).

Worse (aggravation)

Not established by proving. Toxicological pattern suggests aggravation from the drug itself, from stimulants/caffeine, evening and night (insomnia), and on withdrawal ("crash").

Better (amelioration)

Not established. No reliable modality data exist in the absence of a proving.

Source & Nature

Dextroamphetaminum is the homeopathic designation for dextroamphetamine, the dextrorotatory (D-) enantiomer of amphetamine — a wholly synthetic phenethylamine central nervous system stimulant. The free base is C9H13N (molecular weight 135.21 g/mol, CAS 51-64-9, PubChem CID 5826); the pharmaceutical salt is dextroamphetamine sulfate (CID 5825). IUPAC name (2S)-1-phenylpropan-2-amine.

It is a DEA Schedule II controlled drug, marketed since the mid-twentieth century as Dexedrine (also Zenzedi) and used clinically for ADHD and narcolepsy; it is also a component of mixed-amphetamine-salt products such as Adderall.
