Adderall is a prescription medication primarily used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. It is a stimulant medication that contains a combination of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine. Here are some common uses of Adderall:

1. ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder): Adderall is often prescribed to help manage the symptoms of ADHD, such as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It works by increasing the levels of certain neurotransmitters, like dopamine and norepinephrine, in the brain, which can help improve focus and attention.

2. Narcolepsy: Adderall is also used to treat narcolepsy, a sleep disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness, sudden episodes of muscle weakness (cataplexy), and disrupted nighttime sleep patterns. By stimulating the central nervous system, Adderall can help individuals with narcolepsy stay awake during the day and improve alertness.
