I was apprehensive about trying stimulants for my ADHD
because I am 7 years sober. I've found that it's not in my
best interest to overthink it, or to think in terms of "dropping"
my meds. Someone suggested to me that I dole out my med doses the night before. I now go to bed with my morning pill box next to my med and take my tablets when I wake and then forget about them entirely until its time for the afternoon dose.I find Copncerta / dexedrine and Adderall all affect me differently - and there is no ultimate "best med". It's worth
taking your time to find the right meds - for me its been two years of adjusting and readjusting dosage.Good luck!
