Experiences with Attention deficit disorder (ADD)

After being diagnosed with ADD started on Ritalin. It certainly helps in the morning with getting myself together and I think I'm less quick to anger with my concentration problems, although I don't actually think my concentration has improved at all. 5 or 6 other problems that go alongside ADD are not treated by Ritalin. So I have also got a high heart rate (120/130 at rest). Physically a real...

After being diagnosed with ADD (at 17), started taking straterra. Worked really well for the first two or three years, then started doubting its effects. Lots of problems with stiff and hard muscles, lower back and stomach pain, hard stomach that's sensitive to pressure. Had to take 1 x klisma for obstipation. I'm coming off it now because of the muscle problems and the lower back and stomach p...

Methylphenidate and dexamphetamine don't appear to be effective. Particularly with methylphenidate (Ritalin) I had really bad rebound. And on dexamphetamine, but not as drastically.

Works well for aggressiveness, calming irritability and anxieties! Actually works on your metabolism and makes you a bit sleepy and you can say goodbye to your libido! In principle i'm against medicine but within our family this is a practical necessity unfortunately.

These Medikinet tablets work for a period of 8 hours, in the last hour I feel a significant decrease in effect. These tablets are perfect to get through a school or workday and not feel any effect afterwards. I am careful driving the car if I haven’t taken any for a while, such as after the holidays.

I only recently started using this medicine and have lately been feeling side effects. I feel nauseous, have headache, very sleepy (been asleep for nearly 3 days now), no appetite, have hardly eaten anything all week, lost 2 lb....Sometimes I have cramps in my jaw. I also use Sertraline for anxiety and depression, but it feels as if this is now less effective. My concentration did improve, but ...
