I know for a fact adderall and ritalin are two different animals because both my older kids were on both of them. They hated ritalin because it made them flat, no personality. Adderall doesn't do that but my point is you can't compare how adderall effects you to how ritalin effects him.
Is there a reason he doesn't take adderall? I know my son who has ADHD PDD, ya know, all the capital letters, can't take adderall because it makes him angry..er. He takes vyvanse and it seems to be perfect.
