What is the difference in adderall and adderall XR?

In: Medication and Drugs, Adderall, Psychostimulants [Edit categories]

Answer:

adderall comes in 2 forms, an instant release(IR) and extended release(xr). the instant release works faster but doesnt work as long and is typically taken multiple times a day over the course of the day and the xr is typically taken once in the morning and releases the drug slowly into your system as it breaks down in your stomach.. Its a matter of preference i guess or what your doc thinks is best for you.
