Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine): This drug is a stimulant. Even if prescribed for "calming" someone with add, it is a stimulant. Anyone using it for fatigue, like with ms, always finds two things out eventually. Using it daily and the effect is less helpful over time, and typically when it wears off, you feel drained.
