I put a couple of websites with info on medicating for add/adhd below....I hope that they are of some help. I would help more, but I am wayyyy behind right now and I need to go get some things done....if I have time, I'll post more later. Just as a side-note, I am currently taking adderall xr and it works great for me, no side effects....medicines work differently for everyone though, so it is just kind of a trial-and-error situation. good luck!
