Adderall is prescribed for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy when diagnosed and monitored by a licensed clinician. It works by increasing dopamine and norepinephrine activity in the brain, which can improve attention, impulse control, and wakefulness. Treatment plans are individualized and may be combined with behavioral therapy, educational support, or sleep-management strategies.
Dosage varies by formulation and indication. For ADHD, immediate-release (IR) Adderall often starts at 5 mg once or twice daily, with weekly titration; usual total daily doses range from 5–40 mg, divided. Extended-release (XR) Adderall commonly begins at 10–20 mg once daily, with typical ranges of 10–30 mg/day.
For narcolepsy, dosing may start at 5 mg daily and be increased as needed, with maximums up to 60 mg/day in divided doses.
