I have taken ADD medicine off and on since 1995. It usually depends on the situation or lack of insurance.... I have awesome insurance now but now I am having horrible insomnia. We have tried Medidate, Adderall, and Concerta so far. Different dosages, time of day taken, etc.... My psyciatrist is not really wanting to try anything else. That sucks for me because my life is 100% better when I am on the meds. I am happy, sociable, do (and finish) projects with my kids, and so much more. But I don't know what to do about the insomnia. When we did the Concerta, after 4 days awake my Dr called me in a rx for Thorazine. I slept for 3 days. I can't live one way or the other way. I am getting very depressed because not only is it effecting me it effects my family as well. I am thinking about switching Dr's.
