Adderall is a pharmaceutical psychostimulant comprising mixed amphetamine salts. The drug is used primarily to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and narcolepsy. Adderall has also been used successfully to manage severe cases of treatment-resistant depression. It is a Schedule II controlled substance, meaning that it has been deemed to have a high potential for abuse and addiction despite genuine medical uses.
If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking amphetamine-dextroamphetamine and seek emergency medical attention:
* an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the lips, tongue, or face; or hives);
* an irregular heartbeat or very high blood pressure (severe headache, blurred vision); or
* hallucinations, abnormal behavior, or confusion.
Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take amphetamine-dextroamphetamine and talk to your doctor if you experience
* restlessness or tremor;
* anxiety or nervousness;
* headache or dizziness;
* insomnia;
* dryness of the mouth or an unpleasant taste in the mouth;
* diarrhea or constipation; or
* impotence or changes in sex drive.
Amphetamine-dextroamphetamine is habit forming. Physical and psychological dependence may occur with the use of this medication, and withdrawal effects may occur if you stop taking it suddenly after several weeks of continuous use. Talk to your doctor about stopping this medication gradually.
Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.

It is basically like taking prescription speed. A lot of people use it for speed, weight loss, low blood pressure, and some children for ADHD. But, regardless of what your reason is it will make you speed. Also loss of appetite, dry mouth, and your heart will race! On a drug screen it will show up as amphetamines.
