Need med recommendation for technical foc | ADHD Information

I am a 49 yr old male that has mild ADD that I have managed to cope with fairly well. I'm organized, finish projects at home etc.

But I can no longer focus or hyper focus on technical work. I do anything at work to avoid it by leaving my desk.

I just tried adderal and it does not work and keeps me up at night. I have not slept since sunday night. and was only on 5mg.

Can anyone in the same situation share their med experience.

thx








programmer39624.2770138889I understand what you are talking about.  I tried adderall when I was first diagnosed about a year ago, but I have been on Strattera now for a while and it works wonderfully for me.  It isnt a stimulant and has no amping effect at all.  I am a medical transcriptionist and I work from home.  I am paid on production and if I cant focus and my production goes down, then naturally my paycheck is directly affected.  You know, this is still a problem for me.  Mind you, it is MUCH BETTER than it has been in years past, but from what I have read some aspects of ADHD are still going to remain to some degree or another.  I am resigned to the fact that focus or the lack thereof will always be an issue for me.  Truly, it is a nasty struggle and, in my eyes, a big fat curse.  Perhaps you can talk to your doctor about a different medication?  I wish I could offer more uplifting of a response, but at least you are not alone in your struggle.  Sorry.
