If you live in the United States, it's true that you need to visit the doc's office once a month to pick up a new prescription for Adderall (also for Ritalin). I don't know the rules in other countries. But Adderall has proven to be a very safe drug so don't worry about it.
Your doctor did the right thing in giving you Adderall since the Wellbutrin was bothering your stomach. While it is possible to give a test for ADD, it's definitely not necessary to do so.
Three years a go I spoke with a well respected pdoc who sees a lot of children in his practice. He thinks that tests for ADD are not necessary. He thinks that if a child seems to have ADD, it's ok to just give him Ritalin or Adderall and see whether or not it helps.
