Adderall Street Names

Adderall is a stimulant that is often prescribed for the treatment of ADHD or similar types of hyperactivity disorders. When the drug is taken as prescribed, it is relatively safe and highly effective at helping people to restore stability into their lives; however, when abused, Adderall can cause an array of complications and side effects. Many users talk about Adderall using street names, nicknames and terminology that prevents others from realizing what it is that they are really saying.

According to the Indiana Prevention Resource Center, Adderall is known on the street as an “upper.” This is because the drug is a stimulant that causes increased energy, elevated heart rate and improved focus when used in moderate to low doses. Unfortunately, this “upper” has the potential to cause lasting side effects if it is abused.
