adhd and aderall and working nights | ADHD Information

Share
I was diagnosed with adhd as a child(age 9) and was on meds for about 3 years and then the dr. took me off them and told me I would just grow out of it. Guess what I didn't and finally got to a point where I couldn't manage anymore with out something to help me.My new dr. has put me on aderall and it is working well but this is only the 3rd day I have been on it so I still don't know how well it's going to work. I work nights and my schedule is weird one week I work 5 nights in a row and am off 2 days then the next week I work nights 2 days and am off 5 well each week on wednesday I am always awake for 24 hours give or take a few. my first wednesday of taking it I took 10mg that morning when I got up then about 7 that night i took another 10mg so I could function at work through the night. I was wondering if any of you are on aderall or something similar and working nights or if you have had to try a couple different meds to find what works. If you have tried several meds and now are on one that works what is it and what previos meds have you tried.
