Suggest an alternative of Adderall for the treatment of ADHD
human
My grandson is currently on Adderall for his aggressive behavior. He has been diagnosed with ADHD, Mood Disorder, and a Seziure Disorder. He also takes Depakote and Intuniv. I am concerned about the Adderall as his father was a cocaine user. Is there another medication besides Adderall that could help. I have done some reseach and found that Omega 3 sometimes help.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. There are multiple options for treatment of Tricyclic antidepressants (ADHD). In case he have severe ADHD the option of Vyvanse can be explored although it also have the addiction potential. In das he have mild to moderate ADHD I think Tricyclic antidepressants (TCA) such as desipramine or Wellbutrin can be used as none of them have addiction potential. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
