Adderall is a prescription medication primarily used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. It is a combination of two stimulant drugs, amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, which work by increasing the levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, namely dopamine and norepinephrine. These neurotransmitters play a role in attention, focus, and impulse control. Adderall is commonly prescribed to individuals with ADHD to help improve attention span, focus, and impulse control. Adderall is also prescribed to individuals with narcolepsy, a sleep disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden bouts of sleep.
