Consult physician: If Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) necessary for function at school or work then obtain clearance from your physician. Otherwise hold off until completely resolved. Meanwhile rest, restrict activities engaging in them as manageable without problem. Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) will not hurt your brain five days following a mild concussion that is resolving. Supervision to observe for signs of deterioration is important (see comment below).
