What are stimulants?
Meth and cocaine
Methamphetamine (meth) is a very addictive stimulant sold as a powder, pill, or crystal. It can be smoked, snorted, swallowed, or injected. Cocaine is a powder, or a rock form called crack, that creates a short, intense high.
Both drugs are often used in binges, followed by a hard crash and strong cravings. Learn more about the cocaine binge cycle.
Prescription stimulants
Doctors prescribe stimulants like Adderall and Ritalin, most often for ADHD. Misuse includes taking someone else's pills, taking more than prescribed, or crushing and snorting them.
Pills bought from friends, online, or on the street may be counterfeit and can contain other drugs.
| Type | Common forms | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Methamphetamine | Powder, pills, crystal | Very addictive and can cause severe itching, dental damage, and mental health problems |
| Cocaine | Powder, crack | Often used in binges followed by a hard crash |
| Prescription stimulants | Adderall, Ritalin, Vyvanse | Misuse includes taking someone else's pills or higher doses |
| Counterfeit pills | Fake Adderall | Can look real but contain other drugs, including fentanyl |
