I am so grateful to the author of this discussion. I found this site because I have been desperately searching the internet for others with this problem. It is what led to me being treated for add starting two months ago. I am really hoping for some help from all of you. Short acting ritalin worked incredibly well for me for improving my working memory, but made me incredibly nauseated. I never had a high or speedy feeling. In fact, it improved my ability to fall asleep. I was taking 20mg three times per day. I had started at 10mg tid but it didnt do much for me. I have tried concerta which made me very irritable and am now trialling dexedrine spansules. I am up to 20mg twice daily and it isn’t helping with memory at all! It’s helped a little with motivation but I actually feel sleepy most of the day until I take my second dose. It’s not really a surprise to me that I am able to take such a high dose and feel almost nothing – coffee never gave me the jolt that everyone else seems to get. Anyhow, if anyone has had any success with stimulants or has advice, I would be extremely grateful. I guess I don’t need to tell all of you how paralyzing and isolating this particular symptom has been. It has been my number one issue with add too!
