It is typical for individuals who have ADHD to switch prescriptions more than once. This is true for children and adults. So don't be too alarmed if you need to adjust your meds more than once. Each prescription drug effects everyone differently. I am sharing from experience of having 2 children with ADHD and from my own personal experience with ADHD. I was not diagnosed until the age of 35 after my five year old daughter was and she is now age 11. Your doctor will ask to see you back for a follow up visit within a couple of weeks to see how your medication is working. You will have to review the side effects to determine if your medicine works with your chemistry. I know my girls and for my self that we all can tell when we are in need of our medicine. If you truly need it, you will feel better and have better focus. Meds are not a cure, however, they can help during the times of day you need it. They all have side effects that you have to decide if you can live with or not. Read all the information you can on the labels and research on line anything you take for precaution. Best of luck. Take care of yourself.
