Amphetamines flod the brain in two neutrotransmitters, Dopamine , Noradrenaline. hence after taking speed you feel both euphoric and often hyperactive.

Depression experienced after the crash-post Amp use are thought to be due to depleted levels of these neurotransmitters.

It takes a while to restock these, if you ever do.

Cheers
