My main problems:
- Inability to stick to lowly stimulating tasks
- Executive dysfunction
- Forgetting what I was doing every 2 minutes
Bonus mention: random bouts of anxiety
(Don’t know which subtype this amounts to)
Meds I’ve tried so far:
- Atomoxetine (extinguished the anxiety but did nothing for the ADHD)
- Methylphenidate (amplified the ED, essentially gluing me to even boring tasks. This helped for reading but not for my executively intensive physics homework, where I literally had to use my inner voice to guide myself. Did nothing for the forgetfulness.)
Has anyone had a similar response? What ended up working? I’m in the UK so there’s no Aderall.
Not ADHD, but y’all really should start asking doctors for prescriptions and stop asking the internet. This goes for any illness.
The problem is most doctors don’t have experience with any of these medications. Going to folks who have experience isn’t a terrible idea. As long as you know to do additional validation and talk with your doctor. I never would’ve heard of vyvanse if not for folks online.
