Hi, since Adderall is quite strong drug it shouldn’t be used with any other strong drug or stopped suddenly. It belongs to class of stimulants, but it’s usage is generally safe. Adderall is a methamphetamine, and carries a risk of developing addiction. For this reason, the lowest effective dosage should be applied. If your brain gets used to stimulation produced by the drug, it will stop production of natural stimulants. So, when stopping a therapy you need to do it gradually, in order to stimulate body;s production a little by little. There are some natural ingredients that have proven to be effective in the treatment of ADHD symptoms, containing ginseng, centella and green oats. They can be safe alternative to Adderall.
