Adult ADD and medicating with amphetamines? i was recently diagnosed with ADD (25 years old) and decided to pursue medication because i am pursing my masters degree. i did well in school but only because writing and bull-shi**ing came easy to me. In the last 2 months i have been on Strattera (caused dysmenohrrea) Concerta (panic and anxiety) Adderall (worked great, but forgot to eat for a few days and passed out) and now Dexedrine (put me on such a low dose, it does nothing to help me)
On the adderall, my symptoms practically dissappeared except would have elevated irritability 4 hours after my dose. the PA i see will not prescribed Extended release for some strange reason and isn't considering Ritalin because i told him that once, in college, i took it for fun and it made me wired. the other suggestions aren't even indicated for ADD (narcolepsy) and i already have insomnia as it is. what med seems to work best for adult women with moderate ADD?
