Yes you can take Adderall. adderall is not a sulfa (short for sulfonamide) drug. Adderall contains a sulfate (salt) . This is very different from sulfa drugs which actually contain sulfur. the chemical structures of these drugs are very different. Sulfonamides have the structure (R-SO2-NH2) whereas adderall's structure is (C9H13N) so there is no cross-reactivity seen between these 2 classes of drugs. Look on the wikipedia site under sulfa drugs to see a list of all the (sulfa) drugs that would cause an allergic reaction. It shows a list of antibiotic and non-antibiotic sulfonamides.

This does not mean that you can not have a reaction to adderall but it would be for a dfferent reason.

My thought is that they'd only have an adverse reaction if the supplement contained sulfur or the magnesium was in the form of magnesium sulfate.

I take a great magnesium supplement and the form they use is dimagnesium malate.
