Amphetamine (Benzedrine). Amphetamine was synthesized in 1887. It was quickly found to be a potent stimulant with effects similar to cocaine, which had been discovered over 100 years before. In the subsequent years, amphetamine found a variety of uses. It was used to treat narcolepsy, Parkinson s disease, barbiturate overdose, bed wetting (enuresis), and obesity. It was also used to counteract the sedating effects of other drugs and medications including antiseizure medications and alcohol.
