About
Adderall XR is commonly prescribed for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children, adolescents, and adults. It is also sometimes prescribed off-label for conditions such as narcolepsy.
The medication works by affecting certain chemicals in the brain, specifically dopamine and norepinephrine, which play a role in attention, focus, and impulse control. By increasing the levels of these neurotransmitters in the brain, Adderall XR can help improve symptoms of ADHD, such as difficulty paying attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.
