I am dxd w/ Adhd. Yes the meds help....to a point. You just started on them so the effects you are feeling right now, seem like a wonder cure! But once you regulate to them, the effects lessen. At best you they will still provide some clarity focus and processing effects, and you may have them upped a bit, but be careful cuz to high of a dose sometimes can lead to opposite effects and occasionally stimulant induced psychosis. The best advice i can offer is after a period of adjustment, find the minimal dose that is helpful... to me that means my brain feels like i just drank a long lasting morning coffee. I am aware, alert, and able to process how to organize my time. The actually organizing and time mangement must be learned the old fashioned way tho, the right dose should give you just enough to be able to learn practice and self awareness of when to redirect. * Here's the thing tho...long term effects...ugh. MEMORY ISSUES! Be aware that over years on these meds, you will eventually have a slow decline in memory retainment and or retrieval... and have shown some connection ( tho more research is still needed in early on set dementia or Alhziemer's). One last measure i have found to be tried and true in my experience and other's i know who have been long time or diffinately dxd w/ Adhd and are on the right med @the right dose... balance calmness of mind and body. If you feel like your heart is racing, your brain is moving faster than your body, or visa versa, and /or you feel
aggitated or jittery in any way. Either wrong med or too high dsg. If you find you are sleepy and or zombified. Wrong med or too low dsg. After you get used to the med on the right dose you should feel no effects except competently able and probably some dry mouth Hope you continue doing well and are able to finally obtain alll the skills that have been frustratingly alluding you for yrs heart:
