Adderal didn't work for me either. Ritalin is my best choice right now as I have no insurance. I'd prefer concerta but ritalin is on the $4.00 plan..lol. I was first diagnosed when I was 30. Spend most of my life wondering what was wrong with me. I still have problems with feeling shame and guilt for not being "normal". I'm 37 and back in college now. HAD to get treatment! I was drowning! Good luck to u.
