Why is this drug prescribed?
Adderall is prescribed in the treatment of
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
(ADHD), the condition in which a child
exhibits a short attention span and becomes
easily distracted, overly emotional,
excessively active, and highly impulsive. It
should be used as part of a broader
treatment plan that includes psychological,
educational, and social measures. Adderall
is also prescribed for narcolepsy
(uncontrollable attacks of sleep).
How should you take this medication?
Do not take it for a longer time or for any
other purpose than prescribed. Adderall XR
capsules can be taken whole, or the contents
can be sprinkled on applesauce. The
applesauce should be eaten immediately,
without chewing. Be sure to use the entire
contents of the capsule. If you miss a dose
of Adderall, if you are taking 1 dose a day,
and at least 6 hours remain before bedtime,
take the dose as soon as you remember. If
you don't remember until the next day, skip
the dose and go back to your regular
schedule. Do not take a double dose of
Adderall. Store at room temperature in a
tight, light-resistant container.
What side effects may occur?
Side effects of Adderall cannot be
anticipated. If any develop or change in
intensity, tell your doctor as soon as
possible. Only your doctor can determine if
it is safe for you or your child to continue
taking Adderall. Side effects may include:
Accidental injury, changes in sex drive,
constipation, depression, diarrhea,
dizziness, dry mouth, emotional instability,
exaggerated feelings of well-being, fatigue,
fever, headache, high blood pressure, hives,
impotence, indigestion, infections,
insomnia, loss of appetite, mental
disturbances, nausea, nervousness, over
stimulation, rapid or pounding heartbeat,
restlessness, stomach and intestinal
disturbances, tremor, twitches, unpleasant
taste, vomiting, weakened heart, weight
loss, and worsening of tics (including
Tourette's syndrome).
What if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
Heavy use of amphetamines, during pregnancy,
can lead to premature birth or low birth
weight. Avoid taking Adderall unless
absolutely necessary. Amphetamines do find
their way into breast milk, so you should
not take Adderall while breastfeeding.
What is the recommended dosage?
Children 3 to 5 years of age: The usual
starting dose of Adderall is 2.5 milligrams
daily. Each week, the doctor will raise the
daily dosage by 2.5 milligrams until the
condition is under control. Children 6 years
of age and older: The usual starting dose is
5 milligrams once or twice a day. Each week,
the daily dosage may be increased by 5
milligrams. Only in rare cases will a child
need more than 40 milligrams per day.
Adderall, like all amphetamines, has a high
potential for abuse. If used in large doses
over long periods of time, it can cause
dependence and addiction. Be careful to take
Adderall only as prescribed. A large
overdose of Adderall can be fatal. Symptoms
of Adderall overdose may include: Abdominal
cramps, assaultiveness, changes in blood
pressure, confusion, diarrhea,
hallucinations, heightened reflexes, high
fever, irregular heartbeat, nausea, panic,
rapid breathing, restlessness, tremor,
vomiting. If you suspect an overdose, seek
emergency treatment immediately.
