Adderall is a prescription medication commonly used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. It contains a combination of amphetamine salts that work as central nervous system stimulants. Adderall helps increase the levels of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain, improving focus, attention, and impulse control. It is available in both immediate-release and extended-release (Adderall XR) forms. When taken as prescribed, it can significantly improve daily functioning in individuals with ADHD. However, it also carries a risk of side effects, such as insomnia, decreased appetite, and anxiety, and should only be used under a healthcare provider’s supervision.
