Has anyone given up on Adhd medication

[Whereisthesunny]

We are finishing our first month of medikinet XL/concentra but overall the downside has been considerably bigger than the benefit.
How long should we try before we give up? I mean ds is exhausted, angry and does not want to take it any more and i don’t blame him

We had to stop Medikinet as DD had very bad rebound and tics on it. Now, a year on, we are on a combined dose of Equysm XL and and Intuniv. It takes time to get it right. Contact your Dr and tell them that it's not working for you and ask to try something else

@Fluffytoebeanz thanks yes it’s the rebound. Horrendous. worse than his Adhd

This book is very useful. I'm not sure we'd be where we are without it. Other school related shit going on but her cognitive tests are scoring high on the meds compared to when she was off them which were lower than low. I think you need to keep pushing (like with everything SN related) and I felt forearmed having read the book
