Hi my name is Tanya and i amn from australia. I have just found out
that I have ADHD and have been prescribed dexamphetamine. I drive my
husband crazy of a night time because i can't sleep and when i do i
fidgit all the time, I have heard that thius drug causes insomnia
does that mean that I am not going to be able to sleep at all? I
sometimes sleep for 2-3 hors a night and then I can sleep all day and
all night. I am told my mind will stop talking at me all the time and
am really looking forward to this. My husband says it might be nice to
come home to a clean house instead of a house which is in the process
of being cleaned all the time.I tend to take everything out of a
cupboard and start putting things back thjen i wander off and start in
a different room and totally forget thet i have already begun on
another room and this goes on and on. My mum says that ADHD is a myth
and it is just something that the druig companies have made up to make
more money, but I dont see that because if i dont have ADHD why am i so
restless all the time, unable to concentrate or focus. I did well at
school because it was easy up until years 11 and 12 when I actually had
sit down and study and then i completly lost it. I was always told I
had potential but needed to study harder. My Dr tells me if I wanted to
I could go back to school and do whatever I wanted because the
medication will helpo me focus. If all of this is true it really seems
like a miricle to me, I am not getting my hopes up as I just started
taking the meds today but I will keep my fingers crossed.
Tanya,
For me, taking medications was like someone turning on a light in a
dark room that I was frantically running around in, bumping into
things. On meds I am able to see what's infront of me, and make
informed decisions, where before I would make a decision without being
able to see ahead of myself. I have been on 4 different
medications now, I can pretty easily tell when they are and are not
working for me, but, everyone is different. If your doctor is
really interested in helping you, I think you may be surprised at the
person you find inside, when you are able to focus on things you want
to do. :)
G'luck,
Please keep us (me) informed on how your doing.
