Medical use for stimulants include treating patients with ADHD, obesity, neurological disorders, respiratory disorders, and other medical conditions.1 These medications can help to increase an individual's attention span, help avoid distraction, increase the ability to finish tasks, decrease hyperactivity, improve thinking ability, and decrease impulsivity.2 Some stimulants are used in people during cardiac arrest. Stimulants affect brain function, heart rate, and breathing rate.3
