And it didn't help with most of the symptoms did it.
It helped massively, better concentration while taking it and I sleep better when taking it regularly. No apparent side effects like other meds that I tried.
The only thing that is a pain with it is the ridiculously tedious drugs restrictions and going out of stock causing me to be without it for a week or so once or twice a year.
Do you run into any mood changes? I was on a non-stim for a while and haven’t medicated at all since because I hated how moody it made me.
Were you taking Strattera? I took it for awhile, did not help with my ADHD, made me super moody all day. I switched to Concerta after about 6 months and noticed an immediate difference, so much was I proved. The only downside is I would crash hard around 4pm and I'd be grumpy for a few hours. My psych added a Ritalin booster for me to take around 2PM if I had plans in the afternoon, but ultimately I switched to Adderall ER and that so far has done the trick.
Thanks for the info! It was Atomoxetine, which I think is also under some other names. I need to really get a formal diagnosis though like you did. I’ve encountered that crash before and it’s the worst. Felt like I immediately needed a nap when it hit.
You should pursue one, it helps a lot. I started going to my primary for treatment and while it was helpful, working with a Psychiatrist has been much more fruitful.
