Amphetamines can cause symptoms such as headache, nausea, confusion, shaking, and hallucinations, especially when abused. These symptoms align with Frankie's condition, suggesting amphetamine abuse. Atomoxetine and modafinil are stimulants but have different side effect profiles and are less likely to cause such acute symptoms. Benzodiazepines, on the other hand, typically cause sedation and their abuse would more likely lead to excessive drowsiness or lethargy rather than the symptoms described.
