My husband has adhd and I got a lot of insight from Dr. Amens book on the forms of add. I suggest you read it, particularly because it can help you identify what type of add your husband has -- and most important -- adderall can make some forms of add WORSE!! My husband was a basket case when on ritalin or adderall, but can handle concerta with some other meds. Hope this helps and if you get the book let me know what you think...
