Suggest an alternative of Adderall
human
HI other than adderall for a diagnosis of ADHD, combined presentation and Oppositional Defiant Disorder; what would you recommend as an alternative. i am concerned about the fact that adderall has amphetamines and the side effects are ridiculous; the child is already all of those; so what does the adderall do or is suppose to achieve? thanks

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Adderall has good effectiveness in controlling the ADHD symptoms. If you don't want to put the child on amphetamines then Attentrol can be kept as option. Low dose Risperidone also has good effectiveness. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
