  <h2>How Does Adderall Work?</h2>

  <p>
    Adderall affects the activity of dopamine and norepinephrine, chemical
    messengers involved in attention, alertness, and impulse control. The
    immediate-release formulation releases medication more quickly than
    extended-release products such as Adderall XR.
  </p>

    The 7.5 mg strength is an available tablet strength of immediate-release
    Adderall. The appropriate dose and dosing schedule vary by diagnosis,
