About

Adderall is a prescription medication containing amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, which are stimulants that affect chemicals in the brain and nerves that contribute to hyperactivity and impulse control. It is primarily used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. Adderall works by increasing the levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, leading to improved focus, attention, and impulse control.
