Out of the two I have used Adderall. I did like it but I have paradoxical reactions with stimulants so I am unable to use them. Stimulants make me more tired.

From what I have seen with ADHD although different prescribers have preferences most people seem to respond favorably to one or the other when it comes to Adderall or Ritalin.
Sometimes it is just a matter of trial and error. Not sure how this translates into your needs but would I guess either would be a decent place to start and if neither helps you might be able to challenge the insurance company for something else. Best of luck to you.
Snoopy do you have ADHD?
