About

Adderall is a prescription medication that contains two stimulant drugs: amphetamine and dextroamphetamine. It is primarily used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. Adderall works by increasing the activity of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, namely dopamine and norepinephrine, which play roles in concentration, focus, and impulse control. It is classified as a Schedule II controlled substance due to its high potential for abuse and dependence.

Adderall helps individuals with ADHD concentrate better and stay focused on tasks.
It may improve cognitive abilities such as memory, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
People with ADHD often struggle with impulsivity, and Adderall can help reduce these impulsive behaviors.
