If Ritalin doesn't work, the adderall family is also another option. (My youngest has ADHD and I have lots of experience with different medications...)

Nancy,
Just read my post again and realized that I didn't put the milligrams. I'm on just 1/2 of a 5 Mg tablet 2 times a day for this first week. Next week I'm supposed to go up to a whole tablet twice a day.
That's a really low dose and I'm like a zombie. Supposedly therapeutic dosage is around 10 Mg twice a day
. I really am a light weight when it comes to these things. If I were a drinker-- I would be a cheap drunk.
Maybe it's a stimulant for some people. To me it seems like it does to me what a xanax would do for a lot of people. It's early though, I've only been on it for 2 1/2 days. Hopefully these effects will change. I'm glad it's spring break this week.
