What type of medication is adderall?

Adderall is a medication most commonly used to treat those who have been diagnosed with ADHD and narcolepsy. It is also given commonly to those with ADD. Adderall is used to treat both adults and children (over 6) with these problems.

Less commonly, Adderall is given to people to treat other things, such as weight loss and in rarer cases, a mood stabilizer. It is a dextroamphetamine and amphetamine. Like other amphetamines, Adderall can be highly addictive.

Many people abuse the drug and it should only be taken when prescribed by a doctor as indicated. Adderall can be safe for those people who actually need the medication and whereas prescribed by their doctor. However, like all drugs, especially one of this caliber, it can have side effects.

I know children who take this medication successfully for their ADHD. I am not a doctor, but it's my personal opinion that a less harsh drug should be used beforehand before this stimulate is used. One child in particular I know that is on this medication has problems eating enough.

You should talk this over with your doctor. Clearly, he knows more on the subject than I do. --quote-- Adderall XR is approved for use in children over the age of six years, although regular Adderall can be used in younger children from 3-5 years of age.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
