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 about your medications.

 

I can tell you, however, that everyone reacts differently to medications and the dose that is correct for you may not be the same for someone else. Often, it is a matter of trial and error to find the right medication and the right dosage for you.

 

Although I understand you had a previous addiction problem, you may be able to try the patch for ADHD, which, obviously, has a lesser chance of abuse than pills.

 

It is important for you to talk with your doctor and be honest about how you are feeling. Your doctor is there to help you and can only do so based on the information you provide. If you provide inaccurate information, the medical care you receive will be inaccurate. Talk with your doctor about your options.

 

Please let me know how it is going.
