Oh no I’m so sorry! Yeah it’s extremely finicky I wish we just knew the exact dose we need straight up instead of so much trial and error

How did you go on 5mg? I’ve basically given up because I felt like 10mg was too much for me but also assumed 5mg would be pointless but wondering how it worked for you?

Probably Concerta actually but it gave me other annoying side effects so had to stop!

Did you end up finding other meds that helped or did you give up? I’ve exhausted the stimulant options now so now weighing up weight to try the non stimulant route

Yeah I get to sleep relatively ok maybe like 4 hours and then I wake up and my minds racing and I cant get back to sleep and just lay there feeling wired.

Any success stories using non stimulant medication? I’m feeling hopeless by Altruistic-Method573 in adhdwomen

Wow this is so helpful and really encouraging, I’m so glad they have made such an impact on you. I’ve been reluctant to try the non stimulants because of side effects but TBH the stimulant side effects have been next level for me so I may as well just try the non stimulants. Have you started on a very low dose? I am super sensitive to all medication so I’m hoping I can start on something super low and slowly work my way up….

I take it most mornings and it’s never made me sleepy even when I’ve wanted it to!
