Sometimes we just need time on them to see how they help us and how they work. It also takes a change of mind to use them to the most.

Agrees with Mincan.. time....

How long have you been taking your newest med? What time of day do you take it? Are you taking it with water, pop, or juice? Another thing,....are you taking it every day...or like some just for the days you need an extra boost?

Mostly, if you're feeling high...what dosage are you on..? and which med is it?

When was your last full physical? There are so many other things now that have mirror effects of ADHD.

Thyroid disease is one of them...and there are many more.

Just a few things to consider.... if after say week 4 and you're still not seeing any changes... I'd contact the doctor again.

But I also suggest the physical, with full bloodwork, as well.

it's not gonna cure you...
....it's just gonna make you not feel like killing yourself.

it also takes time to get used to a new med.

That's the story here.

Nothing takes ADHD away, just helps you manage it a little, clears your head a little, helps be a little more efficient and stay on task.
