I was diagnosed with adult ADHD about three years ago. I have been on Adderall XR ever since. I have had a love/hate relationship with the med. The loves include that it gives me energy and makes me feel good. At times it helps with focus and performance. The bad is that I feel it really affects my willpower and self control. I have gained a bunch of weight, spend money like it is on fire, and started using tobacco after many years off. I feel this progression is getting worse and it worries me. My Dr. suggested switching to strattera because it does not affect dopamine. I am on board for this (or other options), but am worried about the transition. I have been without the Adderall for a day or 2 at times and was very very groggy. I am a teacher who is starting school soon, and over the summer am an online college course evaluation and am swamped at the moment. I feel I only have a couple days over next weekend to do the switch even though my daughters have a birthday party to prep for. Any advice or experiences? Thank you!
