What is the main difference between adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) and concerta?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Different drugs: Both are stimulants, but Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) is amphetamine and Concerta is methylphenidate. Both have been shown to work about equally well for treating adhd with quite similar side effects; however, some people do much better on one class than the other, and the only way to know if that is true for you is to give it a try. Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) xr and Concerta last about the same amount of time, 10-12 hours.
