Brief Answer:
Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
Adderall, particularly Adderall XR, is indeed a useful medication for treating ADHD. This can help with symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity. Adderall is a derivative of amphetamine, and as such is a controlled substance. You will need to consult with a psychiatrist in-person to see if a prescription is appropriate for you, and that psychiatrist can then prescribe it to you and monitor carefully for side effects.
