Adderall is a mix of different salts and isomers (dextro and levo) of amphetamine. Most amphetamine products (eg. Dexedrine) contain only dextroamphetamine. Many people find that Adderall works better, while some find that products with only dextroamphetamine are best.

There are also those who respond better to methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta, etc.), or dextromethylphenidate (Focalin).

Furthermore, there is modafinil (Provigil), which may also be the best choice in some cases.

Methamphetamine (Desoxyn) is more rarely prescribed, perhaps because the recreational use of "meth" has given it a bad reputation. It's generally regarded as the most potent stimulant, and is naturally long-lasting, although the availability of extended release (XR) formulations of amphetamine and methylphenidate has reduced the importance of this aspect.

If you start Adderall, you can probably reduce your dose of Strattera, or even quit it.

As to XR or immediate release, it's a matter of price and taste. Some like to take the drug only once daily, while others don't mind multiple dosing.
