The net result is a robust increase in synaptic dopamine and norepinephrine in prefrontal cortex, striatum, and nucleus accumbens — underlying both therapeutic (attention, executive function, wakefulness) and reinforcing (euphoria, abuse liability) effects.

| pregnancy_details = [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK501307/ Category C]. Crosses the placenta. Prenatal amphetamine exposure has been associated with low birth weight, premature delivery, and neonatal withdrawal (agitation, dysphoria, lassitude). Long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes from prescribed therapeutic exposure are less clear and likely modest, but illicit-dose exposure is associated with significant developmental impact. Decision should be individualized; many patients defer ADHD treatment during pregnancy. Excreted in breast milk in clinically significant amounts — breastfeeding generally discouraged.
