Is Adderall XR Effective In The Treatment Of ADHD?

I am currently taking Adderall XR 15 mg. (1 in a.m.) plus Adderallsalt combo 10 mg. 1/2 to 1 tab between 3:00 & 4:00pm. Those hours are when I feel the crash . I still experience many ADHD symptoms; can t pay attention, distraction, scattered focus . These are not as frequent as w/o the meds, but I ve read the combo of Adderall plus Concerta works well for adults with type 1 & 2 (me). What is your opinion? I see my Psyciatrist tommorrow, but wanted another input. Thank you! Veda

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Let me tell you that Adderall is one of the best medicines for ADHD.

Adderall XR may improve focus for people with inattentive ADHD, and decrease impulsivity and hyperactive behaviour, the hallmark symptoms in patients with the condition.

Both Adderall (amphetamine and dextroamphetamine) and Concerta (methylphenidate) are stimulants used for the treatment of narcolepsy and adult and childhood ADHD.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Prabhash Verma, General & Family Physician
