Just wondering in hope......
because I'm tired of failing at life. Have these meds helped you long term?
If so, how did the meds change you.. socially,educationally,etc.



currently just started dexedrine.. wish me luck!

Good luck, hope the dex helps things out :)

i was on ritalin for combined type but have since stopped...didnt like the zombie feel and lack of personality.

hope the meds work for ya good.

Keep us POASTED on how its going for u with the dexedrine. What dose r u taking?

Has anyone tried Wellbutrin with ADD?

Thanks guys. I started yesterday and I am on 2.5 mg, because I am really sensitive to medication.I could never get past 10mg with adderall! I'm going to slowly move up in the next couple of days and see where I get to.


I actually have tried Wellbutrin. It made me really anxious, if I can remember correctly. That's just me though, you should try everything until you find what is just right for you. Check out what people have said about it in the medication section.

I did but unfortuntely I had an allergic reaction to Wellbutrin! :p

I had a FANTASTIC time with meds, especially dexedrine. The difference was truly like night and day. Not only did my motivation kick in, but things that used to mentally and physically exhaust me no longer did. My focus was incredible! I mean, I had focus! *lol*

But be warned that it's not enough just to have the right meds. While it may seem initally that medication is the answer to all of your troubles, all it does it helps you focus so that you're in a better position to manage your ADHD. You still will need to rely on organizing 'tricks' to manage your day to day activites.

what kinds of things did you find were hard to deal with?

what kinds of things did you find were hard to deal with?

The fact that it still takes me a long time to learn things. So if it's school related, I still have to put in extra effort to make it stick to my brain.

Organizing time still remains a problem. Everyone else seems to be more efficent at it than I am.

Distractability and the impluse to act on the moment also are issues.

good luck :)

3 months is not really 'long term' .. so I cannot answer it. But even others (like at work) seem to notice a remarkable change in productivity .. less procrastination and daydreaming. I notice it is still easy to get lost in dreams .. but it's easier to break away from if needed.
Another good thing is that it stops the worrying and gives clarity .. feel really calm inside .. like everything is much easier.
I wonder if NT people always find things this uncomplicated :p
