What Is Adderall?

Adderall belongs to a group of medications called amphetamine mixed salts. They get this name because they contain active ingredients in the amphetamine family of stimulant substances. In the case of Adderall, those ingredients are:
  • Amphetamine
  • Dextroamphetamine
Dextroamphetamine is weaker than its parent chemical, amphetamine. This means that Adderall is less potent than medications like Dexedrine, which relies on amphetamine as its sole active ingredient. In addition to being approved for ADHD treatment, Adderall can play a role in the treatment of narcolepsy. It comes in three main formulations, each with a different potency per dose. It also comes in the extended-release form under the brand name Adderall XR. Want to know more about Adderall or similar medications? Take advantage of Find Luxury Rehabs’ online resources today.

How Does Adderall Affect the Body?

When you take Adderall, its two main ingredients travel to your brain. There, they mimic the effects of some of your brain’s most important chemicals, including:

  • Adrenaline, i.e., epinephrine
  • Norepinephrine
The result is a stimulation or speeding up of your central nervous system. Adderall also activates your sympathetic nervous system, which powers your built-in fight-or-flight response. One consequence of these changes is the onset of euphoria, an extreme form of pleasure. Other effects include:

What Causes Adderall Addiction?

Adderall is well-known for its potential for misuse. If you have a prescription for the medication, misuse occurs whenever you do anything that:
  • Increases the amount of Adderall in your system above intended levels
  • Speeds up the rate at which the medication affects your brain
If you don’t have a current Adderall prescription, use in any circumstances counts as a form of misuse. Reasons for misusing Adderall vary from person to person. Depending on your situation, you or someone you know may want to do things such as:
  • Keep experiencing the medication’s euphoric effects
  • Improve your performance at school or at work
  • Stay awake or alert for longer amounts of time
Unfortunately, repeated misuse can lead to serious problems and the need for Adderall addiction treatment. The first sign of oncoming addiction is typically physical dependence. This occurs when your brain starts to treat Adderall as part of its expected chemical environment. If you keep misusing the medication after reaching a dependent state, you’re susceptible to the two factors that define clinical addiction:
  • A compulsive need to keep finding and using more Adderall
  • Indifference to the consequences of the things you do keep Adderall in your system
