Suggest Alternative Medicine For Adderall

I am beginning adderall and it has really helped me focus and stay on task ;however, I have experienced the bladder problems which is a side affect. Is there another drug I could take that would not affect the bladder. I am a 63 year old retired teacher and I don t need to take something that is bad for my bladder. Thanks Cindy

Hi,

I am reading through your inquiry, and I hope to help here. So, most of the stimulant medications like ADDERALL such as Concerta or Vyvanse are going to impact the bladder in a similar fashion. Some of the other options that out there that might be effective in this regard are the non-stimulant medications such as Strattera or what is called Tenex, these might really help here, and would not impact the bladder.

There is also a supplement that is useful, and you can find at most health food stores, called HUPERAZINE A, this is useful for concentration and focusing as well as memory, and may some benefit in addition to the above listed medications.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. David J. Girardi, Internal Medicine Specialist
