I'm having issues with ADHD meds too. I'm on Adderall XR right now, and it seems to be the best so far. I tried Strattera first and it just made me shaky and weird and I slept like 4 hours a night. Then I tried Intuniv (which is actually a blood press med - and a downer - somehow that's good for ADD?). That just made me sleep all the time. Then we did Adderall XR 15mg - made me sleepy. So he decreased to Adderall XR 10 mg - no focus. So, now I'm waiting on my 20 mg meds to see if it will work. I am an athlete as well, so being all tweaked out is NOT something I want. Adderall for some reason, doesn't do that. It calms me. What I'd really like is the IR not the XR, but my doc does not agree. If you are truly ADHD (from what I've learned) a stimulant will have the opposite effect. And I also have anxiety as well - not completely sure Adderall is good for that, but it hasn't been too bad.
