Adderall works by stimulating the brain’s neurotransmitters, particularly dopamine and norepinephrine, which are crucial for attention, focus, and impulse regulation. It enhances cognitive functions by increasing brain activity in individuals with ADHD. The medication comes in two forms: Adderall IR (immediate release) and Adderall XR (extended release), allowing different durations of effectiveness. Its stimulant properties make it a powerful but controlled medication requiring proper medical supervision.
