Adderall & Focalin-what’s the difference? | ADHD Information

Share

Does anyone know?  I'm on Focalin XR - started on 10 mg and did nothing for me so now I'm on 20 mg. - not really seeing a change.  Dr. said there are other options - reading this site it appears Adderall might be one.  How do they differ?

Thanks in advance.

 

Adderall is amphetamine salts and Focalin is a form of methylphenidate that in only one isomer (the dextro isomer). Here is a chart with lots med and info:
