Thank you for your question and welcome to ADHDCentral.com.

 

I do not have the experience to answer your question specifically. However, I can tell you stimulant medications often have the opposite effect on people with ADHD, helping them to focus and become less hyperactive.

 

My son seemed to calm down and be less talkative when taking stimulant medications, but not so much that he didn't talk at all. He would not become jittery.

 

I would be interested to hear how your first day went with the medication. Did you feel that it helped you?

 

Let me know

 

Eileen
