Welcome to the forums. You'll find that this site is an invaluable resource of information and support.

I'm sorry you are experiencing difficulties with your medication. Have you reviewed your symptoms with your doctor and/or parents? This should be your first step.

Is your diagnosis ADHD / with (hyperactive) or ADHD / without (inattentive)?

Has the medication always affected you the same way or did these changes just recently occur?

When do you take your doses?

Sorry for all of the questions, but this will help others understand you situation and offer support and possible advice.

Again, please follow your doctor's orders over opinions from the forums.
