I know what you are talking. Our doctor put our daughter on Adderall because she was diagnosed with ADHD and she also refuses to take them but she doesn't even know what it is like to be on them. the thing is that I still don't know whether are they helpful or they are not and I am afraid to put her on this med. have your son been better while on the drug, I do understand that they are 2 different drugs, but I am still curious?? any help appreciated
