sugarsugar Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I admit I don’t know much about this diagnosis compared to depression or mania, so this may sound pretty dumb. But I’ve been on Concerta, with so so results until early afternoon. So the new plan is to add in regular methylphenidate as needed. It’s up to me to decide when. It’s trial and error. So has anyone had that plan and how did it work out? Did it work out? If I don’t think it’s working I can stop, but I want to give it a chance. I’m just having trouble figuring out how to manage my own meds when so many factors seem to come into play. Not to mention remembering to take them mid day.

Iceberg Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Why not ask pdoc for a recommended way to start out and then go from there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugarsugar Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share Posted November 1, 2019 His rec was take one in the morning and see how you do. Take another later if you feel it would help. I’m sort of ok with that, but it’s pretty vague. I end up wondering if I should try another, wait, or skip it. Guess I should try a system and keep track maybe? Look for an ADD tracker and see if that’s an answer? (If I ever used it). I’m stressed right now so probably this seems harder than it needs to be.

parm Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Going through something similar at the moment. I'm not too comfortable with it, but keeping track helps. I'm going for small changes, and not changing too often. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
