What does Adderall do to the serotonin levels in the brain?

Answer:
I'm not a doctor but from what I understand they have a kind of "tug of war" relationship (dopamine and serotonin , Adderall works primarily on dopamine). One (dopamine) stimulates, the other (serotonin) inhibits or"calms". I believe adderall may initially boost serotonin a bit along with dopamine and norepinephrine but eventially depletes it.(Hence the real irritability on the comedown)SSRI's can reduce this effect a bit.Anyway I'm researching the same thing so that's the best I could come up with so far. Good luck on your recovery.
