recently diagnosed with adhd and need your advice

Posted by sondico24 on February 21, 2008, at 13:26:55

I'm a 2 tour veteran of the Iraq war, and was diagnosed with PTSD. I recently started college and told the doc I couldn't concentrate. I didn't know I would be diagnosed with ADHD. Maybe the PTSD caused ADHD? I don't know, but I started taking methylphenidate 20mg morning and 20mg noon. I went back and said that helped a little, but wore off too quick, so switched to 10mg, and 20mg slow release, but haven't had any success, so I called doc and said to switch to 20mg morning with 20mg slow release, and again in the afternoon. I tried this once, and it made me feel stupid, so I went back to 10mg with 20mg slow release. It seems to make me talkative, jittery, increased heart rate, and kind of zoned out, instead of in, and a little depressed/out of energy in the afternoon. I don't really know what to do, so I came here hoping someone could give me some advice. Should I try adderall, or some other medicine? Ever since I got back from Iraq I've been searching for something it seems like; to make me whole again, feels like something is missing. Any help would be appreciated.
