Adderall is a prescription medication that contains amphetamines and dextroamphetamine. It’s used to treat narcolepsy and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It’s also known as an “upper” or stimulant because it stimulates the central nervous system by increasing dopamine levels in the brain.

When someone takes Adderall, they feel more awake, alert, and focused—even though their body is exhausted. They can take on tasks that would normally be too difficult for them to accomplish because they’re able to focus completely on the task at hand. The effects of taking Adderall last anywhere from 4-6 hours.

When you take Adderall, it increases dopamine levels in your brain—which results in feelings of pleasure and motivation. This makes it easier for someone with ADHD to focus on a task at hand without getting distracted or losing interest.

People with ADHD who take Adderall may experience side effects such as headaches, dizziness, dry mouth, insomnia or drowsiness, loss of appetite, nausea or vomiting. These side effects typically go away after a few weeks or months of taking the medication. In rare cases, serious allergic reactions have occurred with Adderall use.

The drug can cause side effects such as dry mouth and trouble sleeping if taken without a doctor’s oversight. It can also lead to weight loss if taken in large doses over an extended period of time.

How Long Does Adderall Last?

Adderall has a half-life of 4-6 hours, meaning it takes about 4-6 hours for the body to get rid of half of the drug in your system.

You’ll have detectable amounts of Adderall in your blood for up to 24 hours after taking it, depending on how much you took and when you last took it. You may still feel some of the effects up to 48 hours later.

Adderall is metabolised by two different enzymes: CYP2D6 and CYP3A4. If you have one or both of these enzymes inhibited by another medication or genetic condition (1%), then your body will metabolise Adderall more slowly than usual, which means it will take longer for you to get rid of all the Adderall in your system.
