Stimulant: Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) can assist someone with adhd to slow down and focus. Although Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) is sometimes used for cognitive performance enhancement, it may speed things up in a non- adhd brain.

Paradoxical response: Adderall slow down people with adhd but ppl without adhd feel "high" & "speedy" with it. Adderall regular (short-acting) is not fda approved for adult adhd. Only long-acting stimulants are approved to treat adult adhd in addition to strattera (atomoxetine) which is not a stimulant. Adult adhd can b successfully treated by therapy only. Meds r optional & need 2 b carefully prescribed w/ regular medical check up.
