I have been on ADHD meds for about 7.5 years now. I started with Vyvanse and my dose was at 70mg in the first year. I was having bad crashes at night, so I switched to Adderall 40mg with 10mg Dexidrine and stayed on it for a few years. Recently, I switched to Concerta 90mg because my tolerance was getting too high and it wasn’t working anymore, hoping that by switching it will reset my tolerance. It didn’t. In fact, my tolerance drops to being feeling depressed/unmotivated in about 3 days now. So that sucks.

Taking breaks is agony for me. I have the worst stimulat headaches, no motivation, and can’t sleep. My doctor knows this but does nothing. He won’t raise my dose.

How do you guys manage? Thanks.

    I read a little into it yesterday, looks like it’s one of those “off label” uses that have been known to be used for adhd.
