Adderall is a central nervous system stimulant. It affects chemicals in the brain and nerves that contribute to hyperactivity and impulse control. Adderall is used to treat narcolepsy and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Both are potentially addictive. And neither should be taken with alcohol. But of course they didn't bother to do an alcohol test on the killer, did they?
