This is what I have been hoping for, but it hasn’t happened. Went to the doc, went to the specialist, got the diagnosis. Got some prescriptions, literally no impact. None.

I ran out of my 10mg adderall XR in November but haven’t felt super compelled to go back to my doc for a refill since the month or so I was taking it had literally no effect. Also tried intuniv to no effect. I dunno. Feel kinda let down by it. I was happy when I got the diagnosis because I thought I’d be on my way to medications that could help. Been almost a year since I started that journey and I’m still in the same place.

I’m happy for you, and very envious.

10mg XR is essentially like 3mg periodically throughout the day. A standard starting adult dose is 10mg.

I'd strongly suggest requesting IR instead of XR, to try it out. Might make a world of difference.

Don't give up hope!
