It depends...: It makes no sense to ask a question that way! it's like "is water bad for you?" yes, if you happen to be drowning! Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) is a mixed amphetamine salt which is thought to help people with narcolepsy or attention deficit disorder; conditions that may result from understimulation of the brain. But without these disorders, Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) could overstimulate the brain, which could be "bad for you".

Yes it is ...: Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) is highly addictive and should only be prescribed when the physician makes a bona fide diagnosis and all non-addictive treatments have been tried first.
