Overview Of Adderall

Adderall is a type of medication individuals require a prescription for and is used and approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration to treat disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and narcolepsy. Adderall is comprised of two different drugs called dextroamphetamine and amphetamine. These drugs increase the available quantities of the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain. An individual's attention and wakefulness require large amounts of these two neurotransmitters in the brain. There are two different formulations of Adderall, one being an extended-release tablet and the other a standard release tablet.
