Pingback: About ADD ADHD Medications—ADD Tip O the Day 584 | ADDadultstrategies
I’ve dealt with my ADD (diagnosed when I was 30 years old) with and with out the use of Adderall. The use of medication significantly increases my life balance in that my symptoms are easier to deal with. It took me a couple years of going on and off of medications to find the dosage that worked for me. The problem that some people may have, which has happened to me, is that once the initial buzz (side effect) wears off there is the thought that maybe an increase in the medication is needed this can lead to too much medication and begins to have a negative impact and a hangover feeling if a day is skipped.
I now take extended release Adderall , which removes forgetting to take a dose during the day or accidental double dosing, and when needed one regular Adderall pill. If I miss a day I don’t have a hangover feeling, just the feeling of my ADD with out Adderall.
Thanks and Make it a great day.

benjamin-
excellent comment. shows that one size doesn’t fit all, each person has to find the right medicine at the right dose on the right schedule for that unique individual, and for some people there doesn’t seem to be a right medicine. glad you found yours and it is so helpful to you.
thank you for commenting

Everyone has an opinion, yes. But not everyone has an opinion about all things. I have been shocked and sometimes hurt when someone asserts something inaccurate and critical about ADHD or the medications for it, which same person would never presume to make a similar assertion and criticism about, say, leukemia and its treatments. I once asked such a person how it was she felt comfortable doing that, when other people’s medical condition and treatment aren’t any of our business. She only sputtered, and of course, thought me rude.
