Dextroamphetamine is a stimulant, although it has effects that are opposite from what would be expected of a stimulant. While stimulants (like caffeine) can cause hyperactivity, this medication has a calming effect when used in the proper doses to treat ADHD. While the exact way dextroamphetamine produces a calming effect is not known, it is known to affect chemicals in the brain.
