Often a person who is put on a specific stimulant and is diagnosed with ADHD may not respond well to that specific medication.
If that is the case then a psych will try another type of stimulant. Each person responds differently to medication
Also some people experience side effects like yours and take a while to adjust to the medication. The psych may also increase the dose or use another drug in combination to manage your negative symptoms.(grouchy, wired)
The bottom line is your psych needs to assess you. If you call the psych office and tell them what is happening they will provide a solution. You need to communicate to the psych office or have your family doctor assist in communicating with the psych.
You are too early in your diagnosis to stop now.
