Princess2...I used to take Adderall but had to go off of it due to it triggering my irritaion over little things. I was wondering if there is anything like it that does not do that. I have a hard time concentrating when doing anything and can not finish anything that needs to be done. Also would be used to counter weight gain from Saphris.
ADD - any meds that does not trigger irritation?

Hey Princess,
I recommend Nuvigil. It is a medication that is stimulant- like and targets the brain chemical dopamine. It may well do the job without the irritability. It has been very helpful to me and I have heard of it being used for ADD type problems. It may help with weight loss as well.
Best wishes,
Laurie

Hi Princess,
My son is taking Vyvanse for his ADD. It helps him concentrate at school. It is a sister drug of Adderal thought so I'm not sure if it would be good or not. Vyvanse takes away appetite also especially at noon if you take it when you wake up. You shouldn't gain weight with this one. There's is Stratera also but my son felt piss off with that one, but it helped with concentration. Every one reacts differently with each med. Good luck and keep us posted what you decide.
