ADD Medication

Hi,

I have already written about this in an earlier post but if there is anyone out there who is, or has been in the past on any of these Med's-Methylphenidate Concerta, Lisdexamphetamine or Atomoxitine I would be very interested in hearing about their experiences.

I will be offered one of these shortly and any actual user information as opposed to what google unearths would be most welcome.

Thank You.

    Just had the ECG and as I have been so wound and tense up recently-especially today for domestic reasons- my heart rate was higher than normal-I could feel it thumping in my chest.

    I am afraid that this will give a false picture about the state of my heart and that my Doctor will come to the conclusion that the old ticker is not up to the ideal medication-whatever that may be but it is most likely to be Amphetamine-based.

    The uncertainty is gnawing away at me-I have never felt like this before, when visiting the GP suffering from depression I always knew that whatever Med's I'd be offered would be of no use whatsoever so I just gave up on it and have not touched anything for nigh on 15 years, however, now that I am aware of the condition I have and that I will be offered the correct Med's for it eventually-it is to be hoped!- the whole thing has taken on much greater significance and I have become a little fixated by it all and am very anxious to get started as soon as humanly possibly. Life suddenly feels like an F1 race and I have been given a Glacier to drive.

    Ho bloody hum............
