Are There Alternate Medications To Adderall For ADHD?

Hi I am diagnosed with ADHD. I am currently taking the generic form of Adderall 20mg tablets. However I lost my doctor due to missing an appointment. I am disabled and I had no transportation at the time to get to my appointment. I have been taking the Adderall for almost a year now and I can t seem to find another doctor that can get me in in time for my prescription to get refilled. All the doctors that.I have called have a waiting period of 2 months or more to get in to get my script refilled. I have Medicare and Medicaid for insurance. I have 3 days left of my prescription and I don t know what to do. Please help. My prescriptions that I take are the generic form of Adderall 20mg pill twice a day and Respiridone 1mg twice a day. I have a couple refills of the respiridone but I only have 3 days left of my Adderall. What should I do? Can you help?

Atomoxetine, is another drug that is well documented in management of ADHD. I suggest building up the doses of resperidone or adderal can be discussed with your treating doctor.
