CBD to mitigate side effects

Hi all! So after about 2 years, my 15 year old has a good regimen of adderall XR 15mg. She was not using it on weekends but has started, saying that it's helpful in other aspects of life - like even not getting frustrated by not have focus to clean her room properly. She'd said before that she gets cranky and intense with her friends when she's on Adderall so I asked her about that. She said the CBD capsules she's been using for the past couple of months seems to take the edge off those side effects. Anyeone else have the same experience or have read that? Any potential problems with this plan? Thanks!!

Great that your daughter has found something that helps her. I have learned that with CBD, like all supplements, it can be hard to tell which products are trustworthy. You could look up your daughter's CBD pills on Labdoor (an indepedent company that tests supplements) to see if they have been vetted.
