I would try another stimulant. My son takes Focalin XR with great success. It has helped him where no other stimulant has. On the other hand, I tried it for my ADHD. It made me feel despondent and hopeless. Once the dosage wore off, I was back to normal, but I totally believe that it can be a reaction to the Focalin as I have experienced it myself. I have not had that reaction to any other stimulant though and am quite happy with Ritalin LA now.
