The first group, the psychomotor stimulants, cause excitement and euphoria, decrease feelings of fatigue, and increase motor activity. The second group, the hallucinogens, or psychotomimetic drugs, produce profound changes in thought patterns and mood, with little effect on the brainstem and spinal cord. Figure 10.1 summarizes the CNS stimulants. As a group, the CNS stimulants have diverse clinical uses and are important as drugs of abuse, as are the CNS depressants
