I got diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. And my doc first recommended atomoxetine saying it's safer than stimulants.

But then some things went wrong in my personal life and I went back to doc, he ran some cardiac tests and finally gave me methylphenidate. Been taking it for 4 days now but I am not sure if anything is happening.

I've read it changing lives of other ADHDers and I had a lot of hope especially on the stimulant. But so far I don't feel it doing anything. I am even taking atomoxetine too as the doc said.

What should I do?

Pretty much this yeah, I'm on the same med combo as the poster and my only extra advice is to drink LOTS of water throughout the day if their methylphenidate is Concerta as it uses a water powered delivery system.
