Re-directed ADD Medications

Posted by ctrlalt n del on June 20, 2002, at 20:16:14

I am 37. I have ADD and currently am taking Ritalin 20mg TID and Prozac 20mg. I have been on this combination for over a year.

The Ritalin is not holding me for more than 3 hours. I am finding myself taking an extra one later in the day to keep me focused. I have tried Dexadrine in the past but the side effects when the dose wore off turned me into a grouchy bear.

I am seeing my DR today and want to talk to him about changing my meds.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what changes I should make to my meds?

Thank You

Hi again, Dr. Eamer. Excuse my forgetfulness, but without faces to all these people, I tend to confuse people, their meds, & their diagnois. You're bipolar, right? But I'm not sure.

Have you ever tried adrafinil (Olmifon) or modafinil (Provigil)? I still consider it my godsend, helping me far better than Ritalin or Dexderine ever did. I feel bad to say this when so many feel crappy still but I've never been down since I've gotten back on it. Every day feels like such a treat & it really helps my ADD. Nothing will ever make my mind as regards ADD work perfectly, but I'm sure not complaining.

My kitties say hi to you & your kitty. =^..^=
