Anybody with adhd

Taking adderall?
Is it just me or anyone else feel like the meds are not working anymore. My caffeine intake has gone up a lot. I cant get my brain to let me do stuff I have to do unless I get caffeine to jumpstart it. My meds used to do this. But in the past year it started working less. This pisses me off.

Sorry you are going thru that! I am 81, so meds, much less a diagnosis, were never available to me. I had to learn to cope as best I could. Still do, though some of the controls I learned to use help less as my brain and body age. Good luck to you!

when young was on riddilan and tofornil which got a bad rap as many people who were perscribing them wernt drs . some were pshycogists without an md at their end . had a great nerologist who required logging and reporting side effects there of and if we didnt we didnt get a refill. without those 2 meds , i would have been committed . never tried your med.
