'''Stimulation''' can be ~~defined~~ as ~~any changes~~ in a ~~persons~~ energy levels which are interpreted as ~~physically stimulating and~~ encouraging when it comes to movement ~~and physical activity's such as running~~, ~~walking~~, ~~socializing~~, ~~dancing~~ and ~~climbing~~.

<onlyinclude>'''Stimulation''' can be described as an increase in a person's physical energy levels which are interpreted as encouraging when it comes to wakefulness, movement, performing tasks, talkativeness, and general exercise.<ref>{{cite book | vauthors=((Treatment, C. for S.

~~===Variations===~~

At lower levels, stimulation typically presents itself as encouraged more so than forced. This can be described as feeling distinctly energetic, but in a purely controllable fashion that does not overwhelm the person with involuntary movements should they choose to stop expending large amounts of energy. It is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[motivation enhancement]], [[analysis enhancement]], [[thought acceleration]], [[focus enhancement]], and [[appetite suppression]] in a manner which can result in a distinct increase in the person's overall productivity.

~~Physical~~ stimulation can be ~~broken into two basic forms:~~

*'''Forced stimulation~~''' - this~~ can be described as the effects of increased energy becoming so pronounced that ~~at higher dosages~~ the ~~user~~ will ~~experience uncontrollable physical shaking, jaw clenching~~ and ~~tremors should they choose~~ to ~~ignore the stimulation and remain still~~.

At higher levels, stimulation typically presents itself as forced more so than encouraged. This can be described as the effects of increased energy becoming so pronounced that the person will be incapable of relaxing and will feel an irresistible urge to perform some sort of physical task. It is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[thought disorganization]], [[focus suppression]], [[memory suppression|short term memory suppression]], [[increased heart rate]], [[teeth grinding]], [[temporary erectile dysfunction]], [[sweating]], and [[dehydration]] in a manner which can lead to lead to a distinct decrease in the person's overall productivity.

*'''Encouraged stimulation''' - this can be described as ~~feeling extremely energetic but~~ in a ~~purely controllable fashion that does not overwhelm~~ the ~~user with involuntary movements should they choose to stop expending large amounts of energy~~.

Stimulation is most commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#common|moderate]] [[dosage|dosages]] of [[stimulant]] compounds, particularly [[dopaminergic]] stimulants such as [[amphetamine]], [[methylphenidate]], [[MDMA]], and [[cocaine]]. However, it may also occur under the influence of other compounds such as certain [[psychedelic|psychedelics]] and certain [[dissociative|dissociatives]].</onlyinclude>
