Thank you for your question and welcome to ADHDCentral.com

I am not sure exactly what you are asking. It seems you talked with your doctor because you were not receiving much help from the 5mg medication and she increased to 10 mg. Are you indicating that the 10 mg is causing side effects of panic attacks? Or that you still are having problems focusing?
