What is Adderall?
Adderall (amphetamine/dextroamphetamine) was U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved to treat ADHD in 1996. Today, it’s one of the most prescribed medications to treat ADHD. It’s a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant that affects brain signals to relieve ADHD symptoms. People who take it typically find they more easily pay attention, control behavioral issues, organize tasks, and listen.
Adderall comes in a standard-release form that lasts 4 to 6 hours and an extended-release form (Adderall XR) that works for up to 12 hours. Brand-name Adderall XR and generic Adderall and Adderall XR are available as amphetamine/dextroamphetamine and extended-release amphetamine/dextroamphetamine.

How does Adderall work for ADHD?
Adderall helps with ADHD symptoms by stimulating the central nervous system and increasing the amount of 2 neurotransmitters in the brain — dopamine and norepinephrine. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that carry messages between brain cells to help them communicate.
When you have too little dopamine and norepinephrine, your brain can be overstimulated, which leads to ADHD symptoms. CNS stimulants reduce stimulation and allow for a “normal” state of stimulation, which helps control memory, mood, impulsivity, concentration, and more.

Who can take Adderall?
Anyone with an ADHD diagnosis can talk to a licensed healthcare provider about taking Adderall. If the provider thinks Adderall is right for their ADHd symptoms, the provider can prescribe it or an Adderall alternative if needed.
Adderall was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat ADHD in 1996. It’s also approved to treat narcolepsy, an autoimmune sleep disorder.

The most common side effects of standard-release Adderall are stomachache, reduced appetite, fast heartbeat, and nervousness.
Adderall XR has a few more common side effects for adults that include dry mouth, loss of appetite, trouble sleeping, headache, weight loss, nausea, anxiety, agitation, dizziness, fast heartbeat, diarrhea, weakness, and urinary tract infections (UTIs).
All forms of Adderall are Schedule II controlled substances because they can lead to dependency. They have an FDA boxed warning for the risk of abuse, misuse, and addiction.
Before and while taking Adderall, talk to your provider about your health history and any history of substance abuse. If you have negative side effects while taking Adderall, you’re encouraged to report them to the FDA by visiting MedWatch or calling 1-800-FDA-1088.

How does Adderall compare to other ADHD medications?
Adderall is one of the most common ADHD medications. It’s also one of several available CNS stimulants for treating ADHD. Other stimulants include Ritalin (methylphenidate) and Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine).
There are non-stimulants like Strattera (atomoxetine) and Qelbree (viloxazine) too that may be better if you don’t respond well or may become addicted to a stimulant.
The active ingredients in Adderall XR are available in Mydaysis and individually as amphetamine sulfate or dextroamphetamine in other meds.
Ritalin, Vyvanse, atomoxetine, Qelbree, and Mydasis as well as generic versions when available are all FDA-approved to treat ADHD in adults. All have side effects that may include, but aren’t limited to, insomnia, decreased appetite, nausea, and irritability. Ritalin, Vyvanse, and Mydasis can also increase heart rate and are controlled substances and can lead to abuse, misuse, and dependence.
The best way to find out about how Adderall compares to other ADHD medications and which may work best for you is to talk to your healthcare provider.
