Pdoc said if you get side effects from ADD meds

then it's clearly the wrong ADD med. That should not get or put up with side effects. Has anyone else heard of this??

Thanks!

Laney it makes sense to me as it would I feel have the same jittery side effects that one would get on a diet pill or drinking too much caffeine only to an extreme. Especially if one is prone to anxiety. I've always wondered if not add as a child how does one become add as an adult? It reminds me of getting high on drugs. I've honestly always wondered how this would work. Take a benzo type med and then an upper as I personally think of them? Phillipa

I think he might be a bit optimistic saying that you'll find a med that doesnt cause any side effects

My doc was pretty convinced (and I always was as well) that anxiety from a stimulant is a sign of dose-dependent toxicity, and indicates the dose should be lowered.

Have you tried Vyvanse? It's very smooth. I like it.
