Okay so I have tried medications before. Well, one medication and that would be Concerta. I went from 18 mg - 27 - 36 and then I did not need it for a while because I was at a crossroad in my life and not studying, so whatever.

Getting on with my life and transitioning into a world of business and working etc., I would probably need something to take.

My experience with Concerta was...tepid. Neither here nor there. Did help slightly, but not as much as I hear medication can help.

I am also aware that there are stimulant and non-stimulant options. I know that I can Google it, but I like hearing your opinions.

if you and your doctor decide on a stimulant, try to watch the dose. ideally, your prescriber would keep on an eyes on things, but...some docs are kinda slack. others are very reluctant to prescribe stimulants. it really depends.

when i was on stimulants, ritalin and focalin were more compatible with my 'atypical' tranquilizer than amphetamines. could be the tranquilizer i was taking. i have an acquaintance who takes an adderall xr in the AM, a seroquel xr in the PM, and everything's fine.

always at least try an all day preparation before the old school tablets, if possible. an xr capsule in the AM and a tablet later on is not unheard of, but i do think its frowned upon.

i dont know much about the non-stimulant options. wellbutrin is one, sometimes. so are effexor and i think tofranil. straterra...never tried, shrink said its not that great.

maybe modafanil? i dont know what the rules are where you live, but here modafanil prescriptions can get refills, so that saves time and trouble over having to get a new written prescription every.single.time, plus its supposed to have a lower risk of drug-induced psychosis, agitation, dosage escalation, etc.

I was diagnosed as adult and first prescribed Ritarin.It worked for My 3-D skill! I mean,organizing.Early days it was only our option but Ritarin had vanished from here,
I had to waited Concerta will be prescribed for Japanese Adult.
No other stimulant here so far,but Effexor seems to working for me too.

I just want to Organize this messyyyy rooooommmmmm!!!!!!!

Good luck with that one, it's hard even for people with sleep disorders to get modafanil sometimes, even though that's what it's indicated for.
