Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum and would like to ask everyone for their input on the meds that are used to treat ADD. How well do they work and do they work for a long period? Thanks to all...

BWW,
Welcome to PC. I am pretty sure that I have tried every ADD medication on the market. I was on ritalin for the longest time which worked for a while until I entered high school. I have tried Focalin, Adderall, stattera and a few more that I cant think of, none of which worked for me. Although those medications didn't work for me they may work for you or who ever you are seeking advise for. It may take a while to find the right medication; but there are a lot out there to try. I also heard of a new non-stimulant ADD medication that most likely wont have the side effects of the stimulant medications used to treat ADD. Make sure that a doctor monitors your behavior because some ADD medications can make certain patients suicidal, agressive and depressed. Hope you can find a medication that works. Best of Luck, Crazyman28 |
