Answer 1

I used to take adderall when I was in high school. It made my heart beat super fast and made me jittery as if I drank 5 cups of coffee. It helped a bit when I took it with a full glass of water, I sometimes took it in the morning with orange juice and it never hurt.

If you have 2 kids on ADD medication you might want to get a second opinion from a Neurologist or from a Psychiatrist. It could be something else. The Adderall and Stattera never helped me any but when I started Wellbutrin (an anti-depressant also used to quit smoking) It made me 10 time more focused at school and work. I took all though college and am still on it 5 years later.

Hope this helped =)
