Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine): Side effects from Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) can be treated or prevented if adjusting the dose to the minimum possible, or using an alternative medication. Also, it can be combined with other adhd medicines (clonidine, guanfacine, buproprion) to augment the efficacy without the side effects of amphetamines (nervousness, tachycardia, agitation, insomnia, lack of appetite) consult with your prescriber.

Side effects: Generally occur early and reduce or disappear over time. Work with prescriber if side effects persist or become intolerable. Dose adjustment, add-on medications, or switching medications may be necessary to achieve best function and safety/tolerability with medications.
