Are you wondering about recognizing addiction in yourself or in someone else?

Compulsive use despite negative consequences is sign of addiction to any drug. Being preoccupied with thoughts of taking or trying to obtain Adderall is a sign of addiction, as is craving the drug. Taking more than is prescribed or taking it in a way other than prescribed is also a sign, like snorting it instead of swallowing a pill. If you're addicted to Adderall, you'll also probably have developed a physical dependence to it that will make it necessary to take larger amounts in order to experience the same effects. If you stop taking it suddenly, you'll experience withdrawal symptoms that can be similar to withdrawal from other stimulant drugs.
