Adderall is a brand-name pharmaceutical psychostimulant composed ofmixed amphetamine salts, which is thought to work by increasing the amount of norepinephrine anddopamine in the brain. Adderall is widely reported to increase alertness, concentration and overallcognitive performance while decreasing user fatigue. It is available in two formulations: immediaterelease and extended release (XR).

Adderall is also reportedly widely used as a "study drug" at many American universities. Adderall is reported to help focus energy and concentration to a much higher level than normal. It enables the user to focus and stay awake. Stories of students writing papers continuously for an unusually long time, or "cramming" all night for an exam with no loss of energy or concentration are common.

However, the user reportedly can suffer from drastic side effects the following day if Adderall was used to avoid a normal sleep pattern. "In extreme cases,the drug can cause paranoia, hallucinations and heart attacks."

William Frankenberger, psychologyprofessor at University of Wisconsin at Eau Claire, led at a study at the university in 2004 thatreported 14% of the campus had abused some form of ADHD drugs, including Adderall.. College campusesknown to be highly competitive or have a high rate of binge drinking had up to 25% of students whomisused an ADHD medication within one year, a survey of students at 119 colleges across the country concluded.
