What do you mean when you say these drugs don't work on you? How long have you been taking them?
You know, one of the problems with Adderall is that you build tolerance to it very fast. If you already took it for a long time, you might have built tolerance to it, and (at least in my experience) there's no way of ever making it work again after tolerance has been built.
Personally, I wish I hadn't taken it on a daily basis (like my "smart" p-doc prescribed it!!) I should have used it only in specific situations where I truly needed it--that way I could have continued to benefit from it.
But after taking it for 2 weeks daily, its effects were GREATLY diminished. I didn't know why, so I continued taking it for another 2 months--I felt it was doing "something" even though the effects weren't nearly as powerful as they were when I first started it.
By the time I realized, it was doing nothing. I decided to stop taking it for several months--to see if I could make it work again. So I stopped it for around a whole year, hoping that it would work again. Well, guess what? It never worked again. Never, ever.
So if you've been taking it regularly, god knows if you can make it work again. My experience was negative after taking it regularly. My only advice to you would be: Take it as needed. And only as really and truly needed. Otherwise, you'll build tolerance to it, and that will be the end of the wonderful adderall. Just like it happened to me.
Good luck
