Adderall/Amphetamine

About Adderall

Amphetamines such as Adderall are used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). They decrease restlessness and increase the attention span in overactive, unfocused, or emotionally unstable patients. The medicines should be prescribed as a part of an overall treatment program that also includes social and psychological therapy or supervision. Amphetamine and dextroamphetamine may also be used to treat narcolepsy. Amphetamines should not be used for weight loss or to treat tiredness. Using amphetamines for these purposes may be very dangerous to your health. Amphetamines may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor. Generic Viagra
