I'm a 42 year old man who is back in school. When I was younger I only had a hard time focusing, now I have a very hard time remembering things that I read and then I completely freeze up on tests. I am currently on adderal, but that really isnt cutting it. What meds would you suggest for me to talk to my dr. about?

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, I can tell you that medications affect people in different ways, so there is no "right" medication. Sometimes, it is a matter of trial and error to find the right medication and the right dosage for you. Your doctor should be aware of the other medications available. Tell him or her what you have been experiencing and that you would like to try a different medication, he or she should be able to discuss what other options are available.
