I am not medical professional. But I have learned that medication doing is very individual.

Was diagnosed with ADD in Nov 11. My dose has been changed three times.

From when I started medication I tried to jot down the changes (benefits and side effects)

Then I spoke with my doctor and we discussed next steps including medication.

The latest change in medication has been Concerta 57mg in the morning. Concerta 27mg early afternoon

It is too soon to see a change and also I have been forgetting to take the afternoon dose

My own learning from reading

– The initial starter dose is very unlikely to produce the desired result

– There has to be some fine tuning, which means you have to have access to your ADD psych

– Medications response is different fro everyone

Also unfortunately the medication isn’t the silver bullet and the behavioral changes and organization, etc has to be in place

I struggle with all of that.

i have been fortunate to have access to an excellent ADD medical clinic that also is involved in many of the new studies and latest treatments.
