imillnotsick,
I don't remember where, but I read someone describe Adderall as more of a "shotgun" approach to ADD medication. Apparently it contains a combination of amphetamines while Ritalin is much more basic. If that's the case then I'd personally rather have Ritalin work. That being said it's going to take some time to determine what medication works for you and at what dosage.

Good luck!
