'''Levoamphetamine''' (also known as '''Levamphetamine''', '''L-Amphetamine''', or by brand names including '''Adderall''') is a [[stimulant]] substance and the left-handed [[enantiomer]] of [[amphetamine]].

'''Levoamphetamine''' (also known as '''Levamphetamine''', '''l-Amphetamine''', or by brand names including '''Adderall''') is a [[stimulant]] substance and the left-handed [[enantiomer]] of [[amphetamine]].

Levoamphetamine is the less potent [[isomer]] of the two, but the effects are also slightly different in character. The small difference in affinity affects the mechanism resulting in a more physically focused stimulation rather than mental.
