Q: When stimulants and strattera stop working

What do you do when strattera and the stimulants stop working? Are there other drugs to try? Things were great when the stimulants were working. Now I'm a mess.

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

 

There are a number of different medications for ADHD. While most of these medications are stimulants, they work in different ways. What may work for you may not work for someone else and vice versa. It can sometimes be a matter of trial and error to find the best medication and the right dosage for you.
