Put simply, Adderall has a high POTENTIAL for abuse and CAN be addictive.

When Adderall (and Adderall XR) is prescribed orally for Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (inattentive type, hyperactive type, or combined type); and/or narcolepsy, and taken properly, in the proper dosages, for the legitimate conditions, addiction is rare.

In relatively rare circumstance, Adderall (and Adderall XR) is prescribed “off-label” to treat other conditions (e.g refractionary depression; in conjunction with other medication to treat certain types of depression or social anxiety disorder or catatonic depression or headaches or types of neuroses, or in combination with pain medications to work synergistically and to help with side effects, or CFIDS), the potential for “addiction” may be greater.
Usually the “addiction” is psychological.
If taken appropriately “daily” for legitimate ADHD, addiction is rare. The reason for daily, regular use is justified by the fact that ADHD—and ADHD symptoms affect all aspects of life–school, work, home, relationships, family life.
However, it might be a good idea to discuss with your doctor (or other licensed prescribing practitioner) who prescribed you the medication) to discuss the need to take the medication “daily”, or the need to take it every “single day”, or the need to take the “full total number of pills” every single day, or even what are known as “Adderall holidays”, or “psychostimulant holidays”. These “holidays” refer to periods during which you go without taking the drug (e.g. weekends in which you don’t have to study or work , or school vacations, or periods of 2 or more days.
The purpose of this is to: 1) see how you function without the drug; 2) reduce tolerance; and 3) even see if you could go with a lower dosage.

However, you need to discuss this with your prescribing doctor/P.A./N.P.
