How the Drug "Adderall" Affects us

Adderall is a drug made in the United States to treat ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). After taking it, you will have a higher concentration and sleep-free awakening effect, even increasing your confidence and making you feel happy. It increases people's capacity for focus by 500% and their capacity for memorizing by 300%. 

In 1996, the FDA authorized the medication as a therapy for ADHD because 70-80% of children and 70% of adults who suffer from the condition thought it worked well. Amphetamines are central nervous system stimulants that affect chemicals in the brain and nerves. Both the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems of our bodies are active when we are under intense stress, being pursued, or feeling anxious. So, when you take amphetamines, your symptoms are like those of when you're nervous, but your heart is pounding. They reportedly experience symptoms including dry mouth, headaches, and insomnia. 

The drug is said to increase the action of a neurotransmitter called dopamine and norepinephrine. For this neurotransmitter to work, it must stay between nerve cell spaces called synapses and stick to receptors, where there is a pump that puts the material back into the cell. This is called a transporter. The drug suppresses the pump, preventing the reabsorption of the substance into the cell, and making it stay in the synapse longer. Amphetamines do another thing to increase the concentration of dopamine in the spores. Amphetamines not only inhibit reabsorption through the pump but also increase dopamine secretion directly. 

Neurotransmitters send messages between cells in your body to tell the cells how to do their job. Amphetamines make your central nervous system (the hard drive to your brain and spinal cord) work faster by increasing the number of neurotransmitters, specifically Dopamine, Norepinephrine, and Serotonin. When you take an amphetamine, neurotransmitters put your cells on speed dial to send messages quickly. This causes people to feel Alert and Attentive.
