atomoxetine, while not a direct stimulant, is a norepinepherine reuptake inhibitor. That is, it makes the speed you already have stay around longer.

- viraptor 2y agoGuanfacine is not a stimulant. The Wikipedia page doesn't say it explicitly but hints at that a number of times. It's spelled out here though https://www.nps.org.au/radar/articles/guanfacine-intuniv-for-attention-deficit-hyperactivity-disorder https://www.nps.org.au/radar/articles/guanfacine-intuniv-for... DEA also doesn't care and https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?setid=1c492e87-3406-ddb8-aaf2-e609c2ded503 https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?setid=1c4... shows no potential for abuse and lethargy as common side effect.
