Yes: Adderall is not a narcotic; it belongs in the stimulant class of drugs called amphetamines. Narcotics are pain relievers such as morphine and demerol (meperidine hydrochloride). All amphetamines are controlled substances, meaning that they require prescription. There is a newer class of adhd drugs including Modafinil (provigil) that aren't amphetamines, but they are still controlled substances and require prescription.
