Shire is now part of Takeda, and manufactures ADHD stimulant medications such as Adderall XR, Mydayis and Vyvanse. Research funders had no role in the design, implementation or reporting of the review, the study authors said.
As a second-line approach to long-acting Ritalin and if there is not a response to it, I would consider extended-release Adderall preparations such as Vyvanse, which is an amphetamine preparation supposedly less abusable than Adderall (one can't snort it), but I also caution that it releases dopamine, peaks faster, and does not reduce to zero stimulant in 24 hours because of a variable half-life.
The National Pregnancy Registry of Psychostimulants (866-961-2388) is studying amphetamine (Adderall), dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine and Focalin), lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse), methylphenidate (Concerta, Daytrana, Desoxyn, Ritalin), and modafinil (Provigil).
While there are medications, in particular Vyvanse, that are being looked at for stimulant use disorder, "Nothing has gone through the FDA process to make sure it's safe and efficacious," notes Rawson.
An initial bill included reporting requirements not only for standard controlled substances but for stimulants such as Adderall, Vyvanse, Focalin, and Ritalin, and all other nonopioid controlled drugs.
