After long-term issues with brain fog, depression and anxiety, I finally felt I had found the answer to my problems in Ritalin.
Following my ADHD diagnosis in 2017, I was prescribed 5mg of a methylphenidate brand called Tranquilyn. The next three months were nothing short of incredible. For the first time in my life my mind was clear, I could stay engaged in trivial conversation, my reading comprehension drastically improved and I no longer had working memory problems.
However, no drugs for ADHD have worked since. I’ve been on Strattera, Dexedrine, Vyvanse, Concerta and higher doses of Tranquilyn yet none of these gave me any symptom control.
Whilst I accept that some of Tranquilyn’s initial effects were part of the honeymoon phase, it’s disheartening that all of the benefits completely vanished.
Despite taking extended medication breaks, Memantine, magnesium and uridine, the very same drug that gave me so much optimism for my future no longer works at all.
Is there anything else I can do? Thanks.
