In reply to ADHD, inattentive type-your experiences, posted by MarkG on April 6, 2001, at 15:34:25
Hello all,
Another post from me about stimulants and ADHD inattentive symptoms. Still curious!
I met with my doc today and we reviewed my responses (and my collaboratives) on the Brown ADD scale. After discussion, he said it sounds that I do qualify for the diagnosis of ADHD inattentive but followed that up by saying, "what does that mean?" (Will I respond to stimulants and if I do will I develop tolerance quickly?) He decided to wait until the end of the semester to wean me off of my AD (an MAOI) and begin a stim. b/c he doesn't want to rock the boat.
So my question for the masses:
Are any of you taking stims for mainly attention probs, and have you taken these long term without building up extreme tolerance? Is this possible?
Sorry if I keep beating a dead horse. Just still searching for answers. I really appreciate any knowledge/experience you can share. Thanks!
Mark
