About Adderall
A combination of two central nervous system stimulant active components, amphetamine, and dextroamphetamine, Adderall is a prescription drug. It is mainly used to treat narcolepsy and focus Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), which are disorders marked by excessive daytime drowsiness and difficulty sustaining focus, respectively. The medication works by increasing the concentrations of two neurotransmitters in the brain that are necessary for focus, attention, and impulse control: norepinephrine and dopamine. Both immediate-release and extended-release versions of Adderall are offered, enabling patients to get the dosage and duration of action that best suits their needs. Insomnia, dry mouth, and elevated heart rate are common side effects that call for close observation by medical personnel.
