I am no medical proffesional…but:

Adderall is a stimulant, so it is also a vasoconstrictor. This means it constricts blood vessels. Reduced blood flow means less nutrients to the muscles which allows them to grow. If you put it in perspective, many bodybuilders take supplements to dilate their blood vessels allowing a greater "pump", or increased blood flow. Adderall does the opposite of this.

It has also been noted in adults that healing times of cuts and scrapes is lengthened when taking a therapeutic dosage. So yes… in THEORY adderall would inhibit muscle growth to some degree.
