I am 12 years old with ADHD, I have been on Adderal,Strattera, and Concerta. I feel like none of these meds are working for me. Can someone help me determine what Med would be good for me

You really need to discuss this with you doctor. See if you can go to a child psychiatrist - they know a lot more about medications that paediatricians.

I have gone to a psychaitrist and he has perscribed me the Strattera and Concerta. he says that the medicine might not be helping me because of depression. If this is true he is going to put me on Zoloft as well as ADHD medicine

It is a trial by error process.

Look for more subtle changes than you might be expecting.

Be completely forthcoming with your Doctor. the one thing you do not want to do is start trying things on your own.

Unmedicated people with ADHD have higher risk for addition. That is when it is no longer fun to be doing what every recreational drug one has picked. it is not the fun part.

So avoid addicition by talking with your doctor and working with him/her to find drugs, therapies, or combinations that address your needs.

Don't expect any pill to "fix" everything. For a very few that seems to happen. for the rest, it becomes a issue of becomeing aware that some things are slightly more possible with certain medications. Then making the most of the opportunities is where living one's life comes in.
