I am curious as to what medication works for you. I have scored 137 on the ADD screen test and will follow up with my Dr for further testing. What medication do you take?
what have you tried? what are the side you experienced? |

I have been on all those in the poll except dexedrine and had good results from all. But I am now taking other meds and cannot take stimulants so Strattera is my only choice.

i tried ritalin and hated it, worst headaches and was lucky to work for anymore than an hour. Also made things not look right if that makes any sense. Am being tried on dexedrine next. Good luck!

I take Wellbutrin and Vyvanse. I like them both. Lately I have had trouble with my insurance and Vyvanse, so I have had a prescription for "mixed amphetamine salts." This isn't longlasting, like Vyvanse, so not a great substitute.
