What type of medication is Adderall? Is it a

stimulant?My son is not aggressive but has broken

things lately out of wild behavior (e.g.coffee table

leg,couch leg from shoving across floor). The meds he

is taking do not seem to be helping plus he has

nervous habits(pacing,leg shaking etc). Next week we

have an appointment with the doctor and need to

discuss

new meds before school starts. I would appreciate any

information you can give me. Thanks in advance!
