amphetamine
(redirected from Go pills)

amphetamine

Powerful synthetic stimulant. Benzedrine was the earliest amphetamine marketed, used as a ‘pep pill’ in World War II to help soldiers to overcome fatigue, and until the 1970s amphetamines were prescribed by doctors as an appetite suppressant for weight loss; as an antidepressant, to induce euphoria; and as a stimulant, to increase alertness.

Indications for its use today are very restricted because of severe side effects, including addiction. It is a sulphate or phosphate form of C9H13N.
