Adderall (amphetamine/dextroamphetamine) is a prescription stimulant commonly prescribed for ADHD. But when misused — taking higher doses, using without a prescription, or continuing beyond medical need — it can quickly become addictive.
Mild In its early stages, Adderall misuse may look like taking more than prescribed or using it to stay productive, convincing yourself you “need” it to function, or seeking extra prescriptions from multiple providers. You might notice difficulty concentrating without it, increased anxiety on off days, or using it as a substitute for sleep and proper self-care.
Moderate As dependence progresses, the signs become harder to ignore. Significant weight loss, insomnia, and increased anxiety are common. You may find yourself irritable, socially withdrawn, or experiencing mood swings between doses. Relationships strain as personality changes become noticeable. Using higher doses to chase productivity or euphoria becomes the norm.
Severe At this stage, the body and brain are deeply affected. Paranoia, panic attacks, and cardiovascular strain may develop. Stopping abruptly leads to a “crash” — severe fatigue, depression, and overwhelming cravings. Using continues despite heart palpitations, weight loss, sleep deprivation, and deteriorating mental health, and the inability to function without stimulants feels inescapable.
If you or a loved one is misusing Adderall or other prescription stimulants at any level, professional treatment can help. You do not have to keep relying on a pill to get through the day — recovery begins with a single step.

Supporting someone through addiction is one of the hardest things a family can do. These evidence-based steps can help you take care of both yourself and your loved one.
Adderall addiction is a medical condition that changes brain chemistry — not a sign of weakness. Many people start using Adderall with a legitimate prescription but develop dependence over time. Understanding that stimulant addiction rewires the brain's reward system helps you respond with compassion rather than judgment.
Communicate limits with compassion: “I love you, and I won’t participate in behaviors that support your addiction.” Follow through consistently.
Covering for their behavior, making excuses, or shielding them from consequences delays the moment they recognize they need help. Let natural consequences unfold.
Trailhead offers individual family therapy sessions and monthly Zoom education groups covering codependency, family systems, and substance use education. Open to family members 18+.
Your wellbeing matters. Consider therapy for yourself, join a support group like Al-Anon, and maintain your own routines and social connections.
Use “I” statements: “I’m worried about you” rather than “You have a problem.” Choose a calm moment and offer specific help rather than ultimatums.
Our family support program is open to all family members 18+, past and present clients.
