What is a good ADD medicine when 3 have hurt my stomach?
I have ADD and have been treated for about 2 months, and the 3 medicines I’ve been on, focalin, concerta, and strattera have all made my stomach hurt. What would be a good medicine that won’t hurt my stomach? Only answer if you can specify a medicine. Thank you.

All three medications you mentioned use methylphenidate, which is a stimulant, and the fact you responded poorly to them all means you probably have a metabolism that can’t handle methylphenidate. I would suggest trying Vyvanse or Adderall. Vyvanse uses li-dextroamphetamine and is really easy on the stomach, while adderall is very effective in ADD treatment and may be better for your stomach.
You don’t need drugs for ADHD. Exercise and diet changes have been proven to be as effective as stimulants.
Adderall or Ritalin
