Adderal is a combination of two forms of amphetamine, so it has a longer half life lasting longer in the body, it supposedly has a lesser abuse potential.
Ritalin is a drug that is similar to amphetamine, it has a shorter half life. Meaning it last a shorter time, you have to take it more often about three times a day versus adderall once a day.
Some people just don’t do well on one or the other, so doctors may have a prefered medication to choose right away or might have to switch some people from one to the other.
