Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Adderall contains a combination of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine. They are medications which act as central nervous system stimulants. It is used to treat narcolepsy and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Other ADHD medications include Concerta, Vyvanse and Ritalin, which helps many adults and children control their attention deficit symptoms. However, since the composition is different, you need to consult your doctor before switching over to these medications.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
