Ritalin Vs Adderall

He is not controllable when he's not taking it. ## These medications really do work best, when taken continuously, as prescribed. However, the final decision on that is up to the parents and the child's doctor. Have they said why they don't give it to him, when he isn't in school?

I also take xanax, zoloft and zyprexa. What is the difference between adderall and ritalin?
