Adderall is a prescription drug used to treat ADHD, narcolepsy and obesity. It’s also illegally used for non-medical purposes to improve focus and decrease fatigue.
The drug is a stimulant that increases dopamine levels in the brain in order to promote wakefulness and attention span.
Adderall works by blocking the reabsorption of dopamine by neurons (neuron cells), which allows more time for dopamine to be released into synapses (the spaces between neurons).
