I have to caution people to not do exert themselves, as they figure out that they can go workout at the gym like mad. I'm not sure it's healthy to work out while on stimulants.
I gave Adderral a shot, but again it is quite an unstable drug. Mostly because of it's a Dopamine Uptake Inhibitor. And that usually causes unstable Dopamine levels, meaning less stable mood and thinking.
I fortunately found a Doctor that prescribed new age of ADHD medication. Although it is not for the weary. Atomoxetine(Strattera) is much more stable, and much more powerful drug. It doesn't have tolerance issues like typical drugs. It is a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, meaning it enhances the neurotransmitter that's a precursor to all other neurotransmitters including Dopamine. This means all your neurotransmitters become enhanced.
Now I say it's a drug not for weary minded, because it's actually very hard to adjust to it. For the first month you have to take 20mg increments every week to get your body to adjust to it. At first it makes your incredibly sleepy(can't even stay awake at any time), but that quickly fades and your realize that sleep is much easier to schedule when you can get the brain to feel sleepy(Needed for someone with ADHD).
It also is tough on your liver, unless you eat a decent sized meal you will most definitely vomit bile from your Liver(I know I have seen it enough). It gives your incredible nausea and will eliminate your appetite to the point where it hurts to eat.
I have found that combining it with Marijuanna to be advantageous. Both drugs complement each other(one to counteract nausea and trigger hunger, the other to enhance the high you get.
It's one of those drugs that doesn't make your ADHD disappear, but let you take control of it. But it really is miles ahead of anything, and has changed my life completely. I have been using it for a year, and the flood gates are off. Unfortunately I still struggle with a lot of things, but now I have the ability to correct those learning weakness because I can concentrate.
You need to be very consciously aware of yourself, because it can be easy to forget about yourself. Buy a sphygmomanometer if you don't already have one so that you can regularly keep an eye on your blood pressure. Make certain that you are eating and drinking regularly. Finally, make sure that you are getting enough sleep.
NEVER take more then the prescribed amount; regardless of whether the medication is working or not. Certain foods can dampen the strength of the medication; particularly foods with citrus. The common tendency that I have seen, is to take another dosage because of the perceived lack of effect. This might just be the single most significant reason why people spiral out of control. Regardless of how they feel or perform, the medication is in their system, and by adding another dosage, will cause their tolerance to rise. The rise in tolerance will only make it that much more likely that person will experience the same scenario in the near future.
