Does Adderall help you focus?

In general, yes. However, it depends on why you're unable to focus. Adderall increases dopamine (associated with learning and reward) and norepinephrine (associated with alertness and focus). This is usually the ideal combination for those with ADHD or related symptoms. If you have issues with feeling lethargic, uninterested, and/or demotivated, Adderall may help temporarily with focus. Many people with ADHD report that Adderall "quiets" their brains and allows full trains of thought to be formed without being distracted by other thoughts. However, if you struggle with anxiety or mania, this is likely not the medication for you. It activates your central nervous system, putting you into fight-or-flight. This is what enables focus for many people. However, if you're prone to anxiety, this could trigger anxious thoughts and/or panic attacks, and is also not ideal for those who get overstimulated.
