How do you act on adderral if you don't have add? are you just more alert?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: Yes, you are likely to be more alert, even if you don't have adhd. However, you are also at risk for adverse side effects, especially since i'm guessing you would be taking it without a prescription for it. My strong recommendation is to avoid taking any prescription medication not specifically prescribed to you.

Can Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) act as an antidepressant?
I was started on ADD medications about 2 years ago. I was given Vyvanse for daily use and a generic Adderall for as needed studying. My memory is extremely concerning now as even simple short term tasks I forget, while I'm speaking I can't find words, and just opening my computer or phone I forget what application I was going to use. Is there a connection between my memory and the medications and is there something else I can do to help myself? Memory worsening & ADD medications?
