Adderall Information
Adderall is a CNS stimulant that works by affecting the nerves and chemicals in the brain that help control impulse control and hyperactivity. The medication is primarily used in treating ADHD and narcolepsy, but may be occasionally prescribed for other conditions as well. Common side effects that may be experienced while taking the drug may include:[1]
- Dry mouth
- Headache
- Loss of appetite
- Difficulty sleeping
In some cases, Adderall can cause cardiovascular problems that may result in stroke or heart attack. Adderall side effects can be fatal, which is most likely when too much is consumed.
Adderall contains amphetamine, and has a high potential for abuse. Therefore, doctors do not typically recommend the drug for patients who have histories of drug or alcohol addiction. In addition, patients are advised not to use more Adderall than their doctor recommends, and to stop Adderall treatment when advised to do do by a medical professional.[1]
