Description
Adderall 20mg
Adderall is a combination of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, two central nervous stimulants that improve focus and reduce impulsivity by increasing dopamine and norepinephrine levels in the brain.
Adderall are used by many people to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Adderall has been used as an off-label treatment for depression in patients who experience depression in combination with ADHD. Because stimulants can increase alertness, attention, and energy, they can feel like mood boosters for those experiencing depression.
The stimulants methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerti, and others), dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine, others), and combinations of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine (Adderall, others) are well tolerated by pain patients.
Adderall is considered a first-choice treatment option for ADHD. Studies show that it improves attention and focus, and reduces impulsive behaviors. Between 75 percent and 80 percent of children with ADHD will see improved symptoms with the use of stimulants such as Adderall.
Adderall can be detected in your system for up to 72 hours — or 3 days — after you last use it, depending on what type of detection test is used..
