MotherOfTwo,
I agree with ADHD Doctor - you should see an ADHD specialist that you trust.
I'm an adult with ADHD - and meds are less effective than for kids.
I see a psychiatrist who specializes in ADHD. I've tried Strattera, Ritalin, Focalin, Focalin XR, Metadate CD, Concerta, Dexedrine, Adderall XR, Adderall. I personallly get subdued affect with Concerta that feels like a "flatness." Focalin IR made me moody, Focalin XR was a sharper version of Concerta, probably the best, consistent medication.Good luck - get a doctor you can trust, then trust him or her and let them know you are willing to try out different choices.
