I am in a quandary here. I am looking for a new ADHD medication. I would say that I have moderate to severe ADHD. one of the biggest issues that I have is a little bit of the H. The stimulant medications so far haven't worked for me. I have tried Concerta and methalyn. I have also tried the non-stimulant Strattera. The issue with the stimulants was that it raised heart rate too high, and as I am an athlete, it was dangerous. it also worsened by anxiety. the issue was Strattera was that I was on the max dose and still not getting enough benefit. So my question is, has anyone tried a stimulant that has not worked, and then tried another stimulant that has worked? I know that Concerta and methalyn are not in the same family as adderall, although they are all stimulants. I have only heard good things about Adderall, And I was hoping that maybe even though those did not work, Adderall might. But I do not want to waste my time trying Adderall if there is no point since they are all stimulants.
