| Balance of Effects- Drug Liking VAS: Peak Effect (Maximum Effect [Emax]) and Minimum Effect (Emin) | 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 hours post-dose | Drug liking VAS is one of the measures of balance of effects that assesses the degree that a participant likes a drug effect at the time the question is being asked (that is, at the moment). It is scored using a 100 millimeter (mm) bipolar visual analogue scale (VAS) anchored in the center with a neutral anchor of neither like nor dislike (score of 50 mm), on the left with strong disliking (score of 0 mm) and on the right with strong liking (score of 100 mm). Emax is largest effect score between 0.5 to 24 hours post-dose. Emin is smallest effect score between 0.5 to 24 hours post-dose. |

A 100 mm bipolar VAS is used to assess response based on a score ranging from 0 mm to 100 mm (0 mm = strong disliking, 50 mm= neither like nor dislike, and 100 mm= strong liking). Emax is the largest effect score between 6 to 24 hours post-dose. Emin is the smallest effect score between 6 to 24 hours post-dose. |

Other Subjective Effects- Addiction Research Center Inventory (ARCI) Benzedrine Group (BG): Maximum Effect (Emax) and Minimum Effect (Emin)
ARCI (BG) is measure of other subjective effects. It is a set of 13 questions in which each question contributes to total score. Participants select 'False' / 'True' for response. One point given for each response that agrees with scoring direction, true items receive score of 1 if answer 'True', false items receive score of 1 if answer 'False'. No points if answer is opposite to scoring direction. Score range: 0 to 13, higher score indicated higher other subjective effects. Emax: largest effect score between 0 - 24 hours post-dose. Emin: smallest effect score between 0 - 24 hours post-dose.
Time frame: 0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 hours post-dose
Population: The pharmacodynamic analysis included all randomized participants in the treatment phase who received at least 1 dose of study medication and had at least 1 pharmacodynamic parameter in at least 1 treatment period.
