Adderall is a stimulant having Dextroamphetamine- amphetamine as components helps to concentrate on an activity and continuing the activity without deviation. Prescribed mainly in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. HPPD, Hallucinogen - Persisting perception disorder is an disorder in which the individual feels visual disturbances. Unlike post traumatic stress disorder, the perception is less intense. They are conscious about their environment and that they are aware of the images are false that is pseudo hallucination.

Lamotrigine, an anti-epileptic helps to control the visual disturbances. The disorder is usually due to previous recreational drug usage. Adderall have not much impact on the disorder.
