What effect does Adderall have on Dopamine in the body?

Answer by  Shoshanah (232)

It is meant to increase the amount of Dopamine in the brain. Since it clings to certain receptors in the brain, it is one of the more highly addictive drugs and should be taken sparingly under strict medical supervision.

Adderall is a dopamine selective reuptake inhibitor, keeping dopamine active and working in the brain longer. This improves mood, eases depression, and reduces pain. Dopamine has a number of functions, playing important roles in cognition and behavior, voluntary movement, punishment and reward, motivation, attention, sleep, mood, learning, and working memory. This is what helps Adderall to affect a child's choices.
