For me, amphetamines dull me down, sit me in one train of thought, and excite that thought, it's more than just crystallized focus. It allows me to work harder, this means remember more, retain more, etc.
Amphetamines are one chemical imbalance that can compliment and correct the one I have, it may cause other people to trip, but it boggles me down to size. Makes me do things that I'd otherwise procrastinate against.
So I'm not sitting here spewing my thoughts, I'm retaining information, and pulling from memory better.
