How long are you on Adderall now and was that the first stim they tried? When I took Adderall, it was a capsule and was the brand version and I remember it was very smooth too, nice to not have a drugged feeling.
Thanks for encourgaement, nice to know you have gotten alot of relief. Did your doc figure out you may have ADD or yourself?
Makes me wonder why no one approaches this disease with logic, like an assessment for ADD, Bipolar, anxiety with the depression eval.
Docs should be able to figure the symptoms of ADD out, especially after someone changes their jobs every year or two...or when they say they can't concentrate or read books, etc. Seems so obvious to me (now) and my inability to communicate this to him and say what I think is really happening. Not that I saw the forest through the trees.
I've been directing my care for the last few years as his approach seemed very circuitous. I told him I had no more time to waste to figure this out. Now I know we have to take control of things sooner rather than later...I just was too depressed to do much but agree and be miserable...
It just makes me angry that the so-called experts, are not experts...just random pill dispensors. Sad...
BTW: Vyvanse was $155 for 30 days.
