Treatment Summary

Effectiveness
How Adzenys Xr-Odt Affects Patients
Amphetamine increases the levels of two key brain chemicals - noradrenaline in the prefrontal cortex and dopamine in the striatum - in a dose and time-dependent manner. This has been linked to improved school performance, behavior, and demeanor in ADHD patients. While amphetamine has been linked to cognitive enhancement, it can also lead to psychiatric dangers such as paranoia when misused. It can also worsen depression and anxiety.
How Adzenys Xr-Odt works in the body
Amphetamine has a similar structure to the catecholamine neurotransmitters, which makes it easy for it to be taken up by the presynaptic nerve terminals. Once inside the terminal, it is stored by a protein called VMAT2 and is then released into the synapse. Amphetamine also increases monoamine concentration by preventing its reuptake and inhibiting an enzyme called MAO that breaks down neurotransmitters. The l-isomer of amphetamine is less potent than the d-isomer when it comes to releasing dopamine.
