Aderall and Ritalin are two entirely different drugs and since no two people react the same to any drug there is no way someone can tell you this info since for you each drug my have the total opposite effect.

My son has been on medication since he was 6 1/2 years old. He started out on Ritalin and then as he got older, the dosage would increase. Eventually when he was about 11 or so the doctor changed him to Adderall. On the Adderall he was prescribed a lower dosage and seemed to help him better. Talk to the doctor or psychologist, they should be able to help you.
