Not likely: The decongestant Pseudoephedrine plain or in combination with Claritin is designed for relieving nasal congestion. The unwanted side effects of Pseudoephedrine are dry mouth, insomnia, irritability, GI upset, depressed appetite, etc. If a person with adhd really needs adderall, then see your doctor to discuss it and receive proper diagnosis and treatment.

Not really: Both are stimulants by different mechanisms.
