Lindstr7 –
Yes the nervousousness and tensensee has subsided completely now, and I think how I feel is what some people might call “normal”. Once I decreased the dosage to 5 mg at a time lots of things changed, all for the better – I am way more calm and I am able to focus, sit still and I have even been thinking about regimented exercise, that’s really odd for me… 😉
I am still drinking quite a bit of water and I think that is helping too with side affects. I still get a little rush first thing in the morning and I have to keep myself from hyper-focusing which is one of my ADHD problems. I can hyper-focus hours away…
With what you are describing as things you are doing – you might want to talk to your MD about possible anxiety in additon to the ADHD? I found that taking a small dose of Lorazepam (.5 mg) one time a day helped in the first week of Adderal but – I am very blessed – Not only do I have ADHD, I have anxiety and panic along with PTSD… So with that maybe I needed it for one of the other disroders…
Hope this helps –
