CDC Overdose Prevention - Psychostimulants

Psychostimulants with abuse potential are a subset of stimulants that have a higher likelihood of being abused due to their effects on the central nervous system. Psychostimulants with abuse potential include both illegal drugs, such as cocaine, methamphetamine, and ecstasy, as well as prescription stimulants. While all psychostimulants are stimulants, not all stimulants are considered psychostimulants.
