Etymology
Methedrine is a brand name built from the meth- part of methamphetamine and the ending of ephedrine, a plant-based stimulant, so a helpful way to remember it is to think of 'meth' plus an energy-sounding '-drine'. So, Methedrine is a strong 'stimulant' that raises alertness and acts as an 'appetite suppressant'.
