Hello.....
Addrerall is a combination of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, which belong to the psychostimulant group of drugs. I am not aware as to you are using it following a doctor's prescription. It is a drug generally prescribed for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or for conditions like narcolepsy. I suggest you undergo a thorough psychiatric evaluation following which appropriate medication may be prescribed.Hope you found the information useful.
