Kratom? Adderall? The difference is ultimately in their result. While kratom in low doses has stimulant effects giving increased energy, alertness, and sociability, Adderall, on the other hand, is used for the treatment of narcolepsy, to help one stay awake during daytime as well as treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Red Vein Kratom And Adderall
Being one of the most sought-after varieties of kratom red vein kratom is a different breed and for best reasons.

Adderall and The Red Vein Kratom work in synergy. These two drugs at low doses act as stimulants. Adderall has effects of producing a sense of energy and enhances productivity while Kratom focuses more on calmness and brings about relaxation. Both drugs produce euphoria and a feeling of contentment.

Interchangeable?
While Adderall is mainly used for the treatment of ADHD and narcolepsy, replacing with kratom for the same purpose can prove to be futile, despite its different strains having different results with different people. In massive quantities, kratom helps alleviate pain, but at the expense of nausea, with little (2-3 hours) or no effect whatsoever towards the treatment of ADHD or narcolepsy.
