Sympathomimetic
A substance that mimics at least part of adrenalin or catecholamine responses. The term is a little biassed towards the minority of sympathetic functions that are adrenergic. A better name might be adrenalomimetic, epinephromimetic, catecholamimetic...or speedomimetic. Examples: coffee, ephedrine, amphetamines.
