Hi,
I was just diagnosed with ADHD at the ripe age of 41! It actually is a relief. I am such a scatterbrain, at least now I know why. I went to a Psych, and he didn't seem too familiar with ADHD in adults. He prescribed 100 mg of Provigil 1X a day. (starting dose is 200 mg) I have been on it a few days and it has done nothing for me. It is for Narcolepsy? I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder 8 yearts ago after my son became critically ill. I take 1.5 mg of klonopin for that (not much) and it has been under good control. He told me he will not put me on adderall or ritalin due to the anxiety. Has anyone else run into this? I feel like I am on a placebo. I called and told him this, his secretary called me back and told me to continue on the same dose for 2 weeks.
Thanks for any opinions.
