| Just Found Out I had Adult ADD Last Year | |||
| |
Hi, this is my first time on the boards. Like the subject says, I found out I have adult ADD last year and I am on Adderall XR. The medication has really helped and I can tell if I forget to take it that day. However, I also realize that I have many bad habits that I need to correct. One is avoiding things that I don't want to do, i.e. housecleaning. I know that I need to put myself on a routine, but I find that when I try to do so after a few days I rebel and feel constrained by the routine and don't keep to it and go back to my old ways. How can I get through this tough time?Have you talked to any ADD Coaches yet? Most Coaches with give a free introductory Session.Thanks, I think I may have found someone who can help since I posted the first time.Maybe you need your Adderall XR dosage increased.Thanks for the suggestion, I have already spoken with my doctor and she agreed with you. I now take 5 mg Adderall around 4 pm to handle this.I started on 10mgs and am now up to 30mgs of XR once in the a.m. It does the trick! Remember, meds are a constant ongoing test until you find out what works best for you. It took my friend a year to get the correct mix of meds that worked best for her. |
