Adderall
Adderall is a combination prescription drug that contains amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, two stimulants that affect the body’s impulse control and hyperactivity. The U.S Food and Drug Administration approved the drug to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. Where to buy Adderall XR online in New Zealand & Australia
The FDA approved Adderall in 1996, but it was originally approved in 1960 under the name Obetrol, a drug used to decrease appetite. The FDA approved the drug for use in ADHD without clinical trials testing its safety in children, according to a PLoS One review by Florence T. Bourgeois and colleagues at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School.
Adderall is available in an extended-release formula, Adderall XR. It’s also available in a generic form as amphetamine/dextroamphetamine salts.
While the medication is FDA-approved for ADHD and narcolepsy, some medical providers may prescribe it for unapproved, off-label uses. These include treatment of depression, anxiety, bipolar depression and to help people lose weight. Where to buy Adderall XR online in New Zealand & Australia
Because Adderall is a stimulant, working professionals and students may use it without a prescription to get more work done, to improve focus while studying or with alcohol to get high. It’s one of the most misused ADHD drugs. But misuse of this drug can lead to serious cardiovascular events or sudden death, according to the Adderall drug label.
This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as amphetamines, drugs that are highly addictive and listed as controlled substances by the Drug Enforcement Administration.
The most common Adderall side effects include stomachache, nervousness and decreased appetite.
How Does It Work?
The two active ingredients in Adderall, amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, work by affecting the brain levels of specific neurotransmitters — dopamine, adrenaline (also known as epinephrine) and norepinephrine.
The immediate release formula lasts about 4 to 6 hours, and the extended release lasts about 8 to 12 hours.
Adderall is one of the most popular medications for ADHD. People with ADHD have levels of neurotransmitters that overstimulate them. Adderall used along with therapy can help dial down the stimulation to help them function better.
Several studies have shown Adderall is effective at treating symptoms of ADHD including aggression, disruptive behavior, impulsivity, inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity, according to a meta-analysis in the Journal of Attention Disorders.

People with narcolepsy don’t have enough of these neurotransmitters to stay focused and awake. Adderall can help them stay awake throughout the day by stimulating the brain and mimicking the effects of neurotransmitters.
How to Take Adderall
The instructions on how to take Adderall may be different depending on the condition being treated, the formulation of Adderall (regular or extended release) and a patient’s age. Medical providers may adjust the dosage over time or occasionally stop treatment to see how effective the medication is.
Patients should always take the lowest effective dose recommended by their health care provider.
Adderall comes in the following dosages: 5 mg, 7.5 mg, 10 mg, 12.5 mg, 15 mg, 20 mg, and 30 mg.
Adderall XR comes in the following dosages: 5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg, 20 mg, 25 mg, and 30 mg. Adderall XR isn’t approved for treating narcolepsy. Where to buy Adderall XR online in New Zealand & Australia
Any missed doses should be taken as soon as possible, but a patient should never take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose. If it’s just a few hours until the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with the next scheduled dose.
Dosage Recommendation for ADHD
Starting dosages range from 5 mg to 20 mg a day, depending on a patient’s age and whether the drug is immediate release or extended release. The drug label does not recommend Adderall in children under 3 years old or Adderall XR in children under 6 years old.
Patients should take their medication exactly as prescribed, and should take it first thing in the morning to avoid insomnia. The medicine can be taken with or without food. Where to buy Adderall XR online in New Zealand & Australia
