HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Adderal is a psycho-stimulant and its therapeutic doses improve performance on working memory tests in normal functioning individuals and it is effective in both narcolepsy and major depressive disorder. At doses much higher than those medically prescribed, stimulants can interfere with working memory and cognitive control. Try to control its dose to avoid abuse potential.
Thanks
