You may want to ask his doctor about having him try Adderall, since it's available as a generic.

It is also a stimulant that's used to treat the same conditions. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, insomnia and weight loss.

Does anyone else have any suggestions?
