Adderall is a prescription drug that contains the active ingredient amphetamine and the non-steroidal anti-psychotic drug dextroamphetamine. It is mainly used to treat ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and Narcolepsy (Narcolepsy). The active ingredients in Adderall, amphetamine, and dextroamphetamine, function by stimulating the central nervous system. Amphetamine and dextroamphetamine facilitate the release of dopamine from nerve terminals into the synaptic cleft, the gap between neurons. By increasing dopamine levels, Adderall can enhance overall well-being and motivation.
