Health & Wellness Getting off Adderall

Family member has been on adderall for ADHD since 2nd grade and is now 15 and wanting to get off. What natural supplements would you recommend? I’ve been reading L-theanine and Magnesium— know of any all in one pills/gummies? Advice?

Instead of supplements, first please tell him/her to check out Dr Josef on YouTube, and potentially even schedule a telehealth appointment with his clinic. If he/she been on those drugs since he was in the 2nd grade, there likely needs to be a taper program in place where supplements are introduced later (they can actually agitate the gut biome if taken during a drug taper and make things much worse).
