dextroamphetamine and Myoclonic Jerk

dextroamphetamine has been researched along with Myoclonic Jerk in 9 studies

Dextroamphetamine: The d-form of AMPHETAMINE. It is a central nervous system stimulant and a sympathomimetic. It has also been used in the treatment of narcolepsy and of attention deficit disorders and hyperactivity in children. Dextroamphetamine has multiple mechanisms of action including blocking uptake of adrenergics and dopamine, stimulating release of monamines, and inhibiting monoamine oxidase. It is also a drug of abuse and a psychotomimetic.
(S)-amphetamine : A 1-phenylpropan-2-amine that has S configuration.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In respect to myoclonus, clonidine persisted in producing effects similar to those seen in the long-sleep mice whereas apomorphine exhibited the same ontogenetic alteration in effect seen with amphetamine."1.26Paradoxical effects of d-amphetamine upon seizure susceptibility in 2 selectively bred lines of mice. ( Alpern, HP; Greer, CA, 1980)
"Nicotine decreased susceptibility to myoclonus and increased susceptibility to clonus, whereas strychnine increased susceptibility to both types of seizure."1.26Maturational changes related to dopamine in the effects of d-amphetamine, cocaine, nicotine, and strychnine on seizure susceptibility. ( Alpern, HP; Greer, CA, 1979)
