Adderall or Adderall XR, distributed by Shire Pharmaceuticals, is a medication for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in both children over 6 and in adults. ADHD is characterized by restlessness, an inability to focus, difficulty sitting still, and difficulty controlling impulses. Critics claim either that ADHD is not really a disorder or that it’s a disorder that is being grossly over-diagnosed and that ADHD drugs are being prescribed as a universal solution to behavior problems in children. In spite of this controversy, the sale of ADHD drugs has become a multibillion-dollar business. Sales of Adderall XR were $759 million in the U.S. in 2004 and $10 million in Canada.

The Adderall claim is that the drug is released in the body in a way that creates a smoother effect, with softer highs and lows than other ADHD medications.
