Adderall is the brand name for the psycho-stimulant medication that is composed of several drugs that increase the dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain. Adderall is used for children and adults that suffer from ADHD and ADD. It increases alertness, libido, concentration and overall cognitive performance. Adderall comes in pill form that ranges in strength depending on the user’s illness. This drug can be obtained through a prescription or illegally through many local drug dealers. Adderall abuse is becoming a more and more popular problem that teens and adults alike are facing. Adderall causes the user to gain a sense of self-worth and energy that he or she would not normally have. When this happens he or she becomes addicted to the happy feelings that he or she is having and they continue to use until the Adderall use becomes a life altering addiction.
If you are concerned that someone you care for might be suffering from an Adderall addiction, you should start by watching his or her behavior. When someone is addicted to Adderall he or she will begin getting their prescriptions filled more frequently, doctor shopping so that he or she can get more drugs without putting up a red flag by anyone, using the Adderall for weight loss, to study and because it makes you happy, and using Adderall several times a day when you were only prescribed it for once or twice a day. Adderall addiction is real and countless Americans have fallen victim to this life changing drug.
