Adult ADHD sucks!
i’m almost 25 which alone has been causing me to spiral. i finally after years of procrastinating and fighting to advocate for myself have gotten my ADHD diagnosis! it’s a big thing and im proud of getting to this point. my psychiatrist prescribed me extended release adderal for a two week test trial.
ngl guys it felt like all of the energy and concentration i had gained went into trying to keep my eyes open! it made me so tired, not just on the come down but as soon as it was kicking in! i had even had friends and colleagues tell me that i looked like i had not slept in days all of a sudden. it felt like defeat. i was so optimistic that life would be better and easier for once.
anyway i met with my psychiatrist earlier this week and she prescribed me Strattera. i’m a little concerned it won’t work for me based on the last medication i was on. any advise? has anyone had a similar experience?
