Abstract: Second year medical student of FEU-NRMF Institute of Medicine School Year 1991-92 seemed to be misguided by the use of CNS stimulants as an improver and enhancer of peak academic and intellectual functions. A high rare of 49.58% are using CNS stimulants as against 50.42% which represent the non-users. The most common substance used was coffee (37.7%) and the foremost side effect reported was palpitation (18.80%). The academic performance of users was surprisingly lower (X=71.12%). Therefore, CNS stimulants seemed to be more of a financial and health hazard to medical students rather than an effective improver of academic performance.
