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

 

I am not a medical professional and would not be able to give you medical advice.

 

However, based on speaking with individuals with ADHD, parents of children with ADHD and medical professionals, there are times when a medication does not seem to be working and a different medication is tried. Some people I have spoken with have tried 2 or 3 different medications before finding one that works for them. It is often a matter of trial and error to find not only the right medication, but the right dosage as well.
