[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again.  I tried Aderall (sp) once (a weird psychiatrist prescribed it and said if it works I'd know it.) I was so wired and wide eyed that it was almost unbearable. That was the end of that, for me. Maybe I'd need a non stimulant, if I do have ADD. I've read the Ed Hallowell books, and think I am. My DH says I am. I can be mid sentence and drift off b/c something has caught my attention or if I'm in a room full of people, I want to be in everyone's conversation at once, and really have to focus to talk with the person I'm talking to.  Yet, I'm incredibly productive and organized at work, get exceptional reviews, don't miss deadlines......at home it's different.[/quoteI

I'm a NP and I strongly urge you to try again.  Go to another (not weird) psychiatrist.  Try different meds and different formulas.  Try Aderrall XR instead of regular.  I got very jumpy and wired on regular and its almost like XR is a different drug..not jumpy or twitchy at all...very smooth,  calm and alert.   Also, some people are very sensitive to the side effects at first, so start low and go slow.  If you feel jumpy, go lower and slower.  It can be life changing, OP, please give it another try.
