Depends: You should see your pcp or prescribing doctor and discuss this thoroughly with them. There are many issues here to consider and these medications are highly controlled and switching may be a difficulty decision. There are other medications besides the ones you are on for what i believe you are taking them for. See your doctor.

Depends: It depends on the side effects that you have. There are many other options, including the use of short-acting stimulants. Adderall and Concerta are long-acting forms of amphetamine salts and methylphenidate. Sometimes, side effects are less if the shorter acting medications, like Ritalin or Dexedrine are used. While strattera (atomoxetine) is another option, studies have shown it does not work as well.
