Levoamphetamine (also levamfetamine (INN), (R)-amphetamine or (−)-amphetamine) is a psychostimulant known to increase wakefulness and concentration in association with decreased appetite and fatigue. Levoamphetamine is the levorotatory stereoisomer of the amphetamine molecule.
Levoamphetamine is the levorotary stereoisomer of the amphetamine molecule. Racemic amphetamine contains two optical isomers, dextroamphetamine and levoamphetamine.[2]
Adderall (nonproprietary name: dextroamphetamine sulfate, dextroamphetamine saccharate, amphetamine sulfate and amphetamine aspartate)[3] is an amphetamine pharmaceutical that contains 25% levoamphetamine salts and 75% dextroamphetamine salts.[2]
Benzedrine was a racemic (equal parts) mixture of dextroamphetamine and levoamphetamine introduced in the United States as an inhaler in 1934 for nasal decongestion.[4] It was later discovered that amphetamine could treat narcolepsy and ADHD.[4]

* Note that many TCAs, TeCAs, antipsychotics, ergolines, and some piperazines like buspirone and trazodone all antagonize α1-adrenergic receptors as well, which contributes to their side effects such as orthostatic hypotension.
* Note that many atypical antipsychotics and azapirones like buspirone (via metabolite 1-PP) antagonize α2-adrenergic receptors as well.
* Note that MAO-B inhibitors also influence norepinephrine/epinephrine levels since they inhibit the breakdown of their precursor dopamine.
