Adderall XR

Adderall XR is a brand name for a combination of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, two stimulant medications that are used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. Adderall XR stands for extended-release, which means that the capsules release the medication gradually over time, providing a longer-lasting effect.

Uses of Adderall XR:

• Improving the attention, focus, and organization of people with ADHD
• Reducing the hyperactivity, impulsivity, and distractibility of people with ADHD
• Increasing the alertness, wakefulness, and energy of people with narcolepsy
• Enhancing the performance and productivity of people with ADHD or narcolepsy

Some of the risks and side effects of Adderall XR include:

• Nervousness, anxiety, or irritability
• Insomnia, restlessness, or tremors
• Headache, dry mouth, or loss of appetite
• Nausea, vomiting, or stomach pain
• Weight loss, growth suppression, or cardiovascular problems
• Mood changes, depression, or psychosis
• Dependence, tolerance, or withdrawal symptoms if stopped suddenly
• Abuse, misuse, or overdose, which may result in death
• Allergic reactions, such as rash, hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing

Adderall XR may interact with other medications, such as antacids, antidepressants, blood pressure drugs, or seizure medications. It may also affect the results of some medical tests, such as urine drug screens or blood glucose levels. Therefore, it is important to use Adderall XR only as prescribed by a doctor and inform the doctor of all the medications and supplements that are being taken.
