Adderall 30 mg

Description

What is Adderall?

Adderall is a synthetic drug composed of  amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, which are central nervous system stimulants that impact chemicals in the brain and nerves that contribute to hyperactivity and impulsivity. The drug is commonly prescribed to treat ADHD, ADD, and narcolepsy. It can help increase one’s ability to pay attention, stay focused on an activity, and control behavior problems. It may also help improve listening skills. According to the Cleveland Clinic, stimulants like Adderall reduce symptoms of ADHD in 70 to 80 percent of children, and in 70 percent of adults, especially when combined with behavioral therapy.²

How Adderall Works

Stimulants like Adderall regulate impulsive behavior and improve focus by increasing the levels of certain chemicals in the brain, such as dopamine, the reward chemical in the brain. Adderall also increases epinephrine and norepinephrine, which enhance the fight-or-flight response to trigger alertness, clarity, and focus. These chemical reactions may contribute to a cascade of side effects, including decreased appetite, constricted blood vessels, and a spike in blood pressure.

Common side effects of taking Adderall include:

• Headache
• Upset stomach
