these drugs alter the activity in the frontostriatal region of the brain affecting dopamine in the region. the stimulants are fast acting and short lived, so they're not 'long lasting' and it's not persistent. if you take the drugs today, you get the effect. if you don't take them tomorrow, you wouldn't feel or act any different b/c you took them the day before. there's no crashing or detox
