Default New to meds with teen son

Hello all. My son is 14. Diagnosed with adhd at 11 years old, treated briefly with Ritalin but did not seem to help much. He was recently also diagnosed with depression, I believe much attributed to improper support/treatment for adhd. His doctor prescribed aderall but insurance wont cover it, so now she's prescribing vyvance and wants to add zoloft in a few weeks. I am so nervous to use either of these with my son, let alone in combination. The side effects seem frightening but so is the prospect of leaving him untreated. Any advice? Personal stories?
