Sorry if I’m out of topic now, I din’t read all the replys.
I had pretty bad downs with concerta as well. Was SOOOOOOO irritable in the evening! Than, my doc prescribed me some 10 mg regular Ritalin for an extra boost, when the concerta stops working. It helped a lot. Most of the time I take one at 16h, than I’m in a better mood for the evening.
About 6 months ago my doc made me try Vyvance and for me the effects are the same as concerta except for the downs. They are a lot smoother without, radical drops. I still take some rialin for the logner days but I don’t need it often now. Maybe you can ask your doc about Vyvance (sounds like an ad
)Good luck

Thank you a lot! Your replies really helped me go though the day. I think I will keep a print with me to reread it when I feel like stupid again.
Thinking about it and it is actually the girl friend story that makes me doubt the most. I still don’t see the point in convincing me that I exhausted my mother and it did make me relived bad thing with one more finger pointed at me, witch I don’t think I need.
BUT I felt he was kind of projecting. Trying to make me understand how he felt about his ex. Giving me examples and asking me how I would have reacted in his place…. I felt he was trying to make me understand something he, maybe, wanted her to understand… Maybe my story echoes too much to his personnel stuff? This is probably a better choice for exhausted parents who can relate and compare stories instead of trying explain to me my character and behaviour when I don’t feel I said enough for someone to be able to “know me” that much…. I feel I have been labelled too soon. Like, ADD is what I AM!!…and HIS vision of it……. Ok enough supposing. I think I will clearly say that to him and his reaction will tell me what to do. I still don’t think he is a bad therapist, but maybe just not for me.

I’m 100 %certain that my mom has ADHD as well. and I would maybe be able to forgive some of the thing she has done if she wasen’t so much in denail about everithing. Everything is alaways about her and she never explain she justify her behavior. No one’s bad behavior are excusable or understandable exept hers…..hers are legitimate!…… I don’t think she could accept she has a “flaw” Like ADD. So, having a real discution is quite impossible.
Thank you all again! You helped me better than therapy so far

I want to trust therapy and I didn’t think it would be a walk in the park with the therapist saying nono you’re a good Gril stop crying you rule go girl and tell me everything I want to hear. But I am in a dangerously dark place right now and I think I need a tiny bit of light Or at least know where he is going with that. I don’t see how understanding that I was the reason of the abuses I had when I was young is gonna make me a stronger and better person. I feel like he is trying to use the parent therapy on de child. My brother saved My life when I was 16 with one question : ” why do you always let her do that to you ? she is not even stronger than you.” at that time we where still fightty bro and siss so it ment even more. It was the first time that I realyse, maybe, it wasn’t me, i didn’t call for it and I wasn’t crazy. So feeling responsible again is not gonna take me in a good place ( in short or long terms )

Thank you i’d really like to kow more about your experiences whit the good and the not good therapists. i think it can help me knowing if mine is right for me.
I am lucky to have a very nice lady in charge of the “Employee help program” (ok bad translation but I don’t know how to say that) at my workplace. She referred me to this therapist, saying she really trusts him but she knows sometimes “it doesn’t click” (can you say that in English?) So she can refer me to an other one if I need too change and she said the others are good too.
(Nice reinsuring lady) so I don’t realy have to tell my therapist if I want to go to another one.I was planning on telling him how I feel and ask him if he can just put aside the ADD children exhausting the parents part, at least for a while. If he doesn’t want or can’t I’ll try with another one.
But in the meantime I ‘am just so lost and trying so hard not to blame myself again. And I start too loose hope in the concept of therapy curing or helping depression…. I am questioning everything ….Is it my fault if it dosen’t work ….am I actually depressed or just whining for attention….poor little martyr (like my mum use to say)……hugh!!! Hate you brain! !!!!
