Question

question 20 (multiple choice worth 5 points) (03.02 lc) which of the following is a side effect of prescription stimulants? depression drowsiness irritability poor coordination

Explanation:

Prescription stimulants are known to increase alertness and energy. However, they can also lead to negative psychological effects. Irritability is a common side - effect as stimulants can disrupt normal neurotransmitter balance and emotional regulation. Poor coordination is more associated with substances that affect motor control (like alcohol in high doses), drowsiness is the opposite of the stimulant effect, and depression is not a typical immediate side - effect of prescription stimulants (though long - term or improper use might have complex mental health impacts, but irritability is a more direct side - effect).

Answer:

Irritability
