Hi all,
I'll be blunt. I've been asking some questions in this forum recently regarding ADD/ADHD Meds. Forgive my lack of scientific knowledge but I was diagnosed with ADD/ADHD around 5-6 year ago and at the time did not want to know about it.
And am now in some serious post grad study and figured this forum would be the best place for answers.
I've been prescribed Dex amphetamines (15mg daily). I'm finding it helpful but some of the side effects not so. Insomnia being one. I know that this may disappear in time but I suspect my Insomnia my not simply be dex related.
I've pulled up totally on the hard party lifestyle. But still drink a bit to much (it's not a bottle of scotch a night but 6 beers is not uncommon).
Have posted some people privately about all this so forgive my doubling up but after years of neglect and then to be dealing with it whilst under pressure this is hard stuff...any thoughts overall are welcomed.
First exercise and management are important and I'm making this my no.1
Having said that I have little time. Meds & management of might really be crucial. I'm taking the Dex at a conservative (10mg) but wondering about combining it with Sodium Valproate.
I've seen this combo talked about here before as effective. I'd like to esp know more about the dosage of the SV?
...all opinions, input and ideas appreciated!
Also thought about using Pregabalin...anyone comment on this??
Cheers
Alex
