Improvement: If a chlld actually has ADHD, Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) should improve the ability to pay attention and focus, resist distractions and reduce impulsivity. It may improve socialization by reducing impulsivity. In many cases sleep initiation will also be improved. In less than 5% children will experience irritability, headaches, appetite suppression, difficulty getting to sleep and tics.
